Gucci Eye Magnetic Color Shadow Mono Oro, Iconic Ottanio, Ultra Violet, Iconic Bronze

What are you thinking when you buy too many eyeshadows of a particular brand? I have been just telling myself that I was hypnotized by that embossing.. If you notice, I bought so many Gucci beauty. For eyeshadows, I have reviewed 4 duos, this time about 4 monos and I still have an unreviewed quad. Lol..

Those four monos are Oro, Iconic Ottanio, Ultra Violet, and Iconic Bronze. 

The case design is just like other Gucci Beauty. Black with Golden Logo Embossing and also Golden Belt. They comes inside a paper box which is also an iconic Gucci beauty packaging box. Only this time, Gucci Mono Eyeshadow feel so light and no velvet pouch to protect the case. I was hoping that it could be heavier and I was a bit dissapointed about it.

Oro is a light gold that tends to yellow with a fine shimmers.

Iconic Ottanio is a teal color and one of iconic color from Gucci. It is more to satin finish and not too shimmery. When choosing which color to buy, Iconic Ottanio was the first one catching my eyes.

Ultra Violet is satiny violet, has bit of shimmer but not too visible. Like Iconic Ottanio, this one is more to satiny finish. 

Iconic Bronze is a bronze with a shimmery finish. The shimmer is the most visible of the four colors. When I first received the mail, Iconic Bronze is the only one with non perfect condition. I was afraid if the formula is a missed, but look at the swatch below!

All four of them are quite pigmented and the texture is not dry at all. They are all buildable, but Ultra Violet is the least blendable among four shades. I don't say that Ultra Violet has bad quality, but the other are good enough and could be compared with my favorite eyeshadow duo, 040 Sunset (reviewed here) .. Maybe even better.

Eventhough the texture is not so buttery, but during application I found no fall out or other difficulties in creating my eye make up. Oro is last for 8.5 hours on me while the other last up to 10 hours before fading. 

Below is a blurry picture to show you the shimmer. 

My Right Eye: Oro (lightly dab on inner lid), Iconic Bronze (middle to outer lid), Ultra Violet (outer), Iconic Ottanio (under eye). My Left Eye: Oro (inner lid), Iconic Bronze (), Iconic Ottanio (outer), Ultra Violet (under eye)

Clearly that mono shadows are better that the duo. (I don't know about the quad, I haven't used it yet). If you are not on budget, you could consider them, especially Iconic Ottanio and Iconic Bronze, you will not regret.

Thank you for reading!

Make Up For Ever Artist Shadow S742, ME828, ME930

I've been wanting this like forever. I heard so many good things about this. And when I went to Surabaya, the first counter I visited was Make Up For Ever. I successfully picked the colors that I want.

Artist Shadow sold separately with the palette. There are three choices of palette: 1, 2, or 3 pans with the same price. Like you don't know, of course I go for the trio. If there is a 5pans palette, definitely I will go for it.

There are five type of finish in the newest formula of Artist Shadow: Satiny (S), Metallic (ME), Iridescent (I), Diamond (D), and Matte (M). All of them promise intense payoff and highly blendable. Each pan contains 2.5g of product.

S-742 : This shade called Tomato and has a Satiny finish. This bright orange bring a pop up on my lids. THIS IS NOT FOR A SOFTHEARTED. Lol!!!

ME-828: This shade called Garnet Black and has Metallic finish. Not black actually, this is more to deep garnet and more to brown than black.

ME-930: This shade called Black Purple and has Metallic finish. Once again it is not black, only deep purple.

Above is one layer swatch on my arm. I promise that it is more intense in real. I just had a bad luck with lighting. It is so soft and near buttery. Actually for me this is the winner. The color is so intense and applied beautifully on my skin.

There is visible shimmer on the pan of Metallic type but it is not the kind of super shimmery or glittery. When applied the shimmer transfered to a soft metallic looks. Believe me: It will not go wrong. 

It is blendable and buildable. I have to use a light stroke and slowly build it up to create a good look. Remember that it is so intense so better not doing bold at once. 

I'm impressed since there is no fall out and not easily fade or smudge, just like what I expect from MUFE product. Without primer it last about 10 hours in humid weather. How good is that!!!

I definitely will come back for more.. I need more. I want more. Lol! They are so incredible that I would give 10/10.

If you still in a doubt of their gorgeous pigmentation and payoff because of my bad swatch picture above, see below picture is my counter experience. They are all so perfect that I want to bring the tester tray home. Lol..
