Frontcover 'Eye Popping' palette

Frontcover Eye Popping eye shadow palette.

Frontcover is a make-up brand which is mainly sold throughout Boots online and stores during Christmas time where they put their items on 3 for 2 offer. Their products are of great quality and fun to get creative with as well as being affordable! The palette which I have chosen to discuss with you is called the 'eye popping' palette as am sure you can tell by the name that this product is all about creating eyes which stand out and still look perfect!



This palette consists of 18 fine line baked powder eye shadows, double ended eye applicator and a cheek brush.

I would say these eye shadows are great for parties and going out as they are glittery and shimmery rainbow-like colours. The top row of the palette consists of three neutral colours and three pastel purple-y colours whereas they second row consists of gorgeous dark blues and purples and two pastel colours which are green (icy green) and light blue (baby's eyes).

The bottom of the palette consists of six pink neutral shades which are very shimmery that can either be used as highlighters (coral puff and point pink) or blush if one wears them very lightly or else they will end up looking like orange umpa lumpas! But honestly I would say they are way too shimmery for being used on face or cheeks other than eyes.

The texture of the eye shadows, I would say depends on the shade as some may appear better than others, for example the shade 'tie blue' appears more matte than the shade 'baby eyes' which is a shade that is frosty and gives a shimmery finish.

Having to experience these eye shadows, I would definitely say that they are pretty good pigmented. Obviously some are better than others as they all have a different finish to them. The bright colours seem to be more pigmented and appear better than the dark ones. They do not create creases or wear off after a few hours which is quite impressive. However, the glitter does fall out from the matte looking shades which I would say it still not a huge disappointment.

Overall, I would rate the palette 9/10.
