After I made the post “Rs.300 and Under GoodIndian Makeup Products” HERE, I got a few queries asking options for some more affordable eyeshadows. I could only think of my favourite Maybelline color tattoo and Inglot refill eyeshadows. So, I picked up a few neighbourhood eyeshadows on my next visit to market in hope I may just get more options. This is one of them.
Now, moving on to this eyeshadow,
The packaging is very nice. It comes in a small round type packaging where you are supposed to move the lid sideways and it opens. The eyeshadow is actually a dome shaped one but when I opened it for the 4thtime, it just came out on its own and so, now I’m left with a flat eyeshadow shape. There’s also a mirror at the back. And, the shade is mentioned on a sticker pasted on this. Thoughtful, know?!
Now, moving onto the quality, the texture of the eyeshadow feels stiff and dry. The pigmentation is just average. When I applied it dry, the intensity of the shade did not coat my eyelids fully and it wore off majorly in just 2 hours. Next time, I applied it using a wet brush. The intensity came off much better on my eyelids and it lasted for around 3 hours on my eyelids. But even in those 3 hours, there was quite a creasing over my fold area. With a good eye primer beneath, it lasted an hour more but with considerable fading and creasing. Blending too takes a little extra effort, due to the stiff texture. For reference, I have oily eyelids.
I used my favorite eye primer here which my oily lids love but still this eyeshadow didn’t work.
In short, I’m not impressed with these eyeshadows. Rather than buying these affordable eyeshadows in lot, I would prefer having with myself a few universal shades like bronze, black, gold, navy blue and some more so that I wouldn’t have to comprise on the quality front so much.

Color looks so pretty, sad that it is dry and takes effort to blend it.

beautiful color… lovely eotd 🙂
The quality might be bad but girl you make it look super pretty. If someone doesnt read the review then they will surely get tempted to buy it!
I have their blush which I picked up from Mumbai. For the price I paid, I am not complaining. But this one seems like a dud since for 200 INR you do have plenty of options.
This kind of coppery shadow with some liner looks so every day, yet so gorgeous. I'm sure you are wearing your red lipsticks with this! 😀
such a pretty shade!
