Introducing new Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow – Max Factor‘s expertly designed beauty tool and i have to admit that it is one of beauty’s most difficult-to-master looks achievable for everyone. This all-in-one tool features two crayon-like precision tips that let you blend colors to smoky perfection. Launching in 6 color combinations, the palette offers on-trend muted beige and greys to eye-popping shades of aubergine and teal. Each color has been expertly matched by Pat McGrath to make perfecting one of the catwalk’s most sought after looks easier than ever.

Both ends of the eyeshadows are easy to apply, and I like how simple they are to blend together. However, I have a couple of issues with it. Firstly, when applied without a primer it lacks staying power. Creamy eyeshadows like this do tend to rub off quite easily, so it’s worth investing in a primer first before applying. You will not be able to blend them with a brush because it will look muddy. When you blend with your fingers, colour payoff fades a lot which is understandable because they are cream based.

Max Factor Smoky Eye Effect is available in 6 colors:

• 01 Purple Dust
• 03 Bronze Haze
• 04 Onyx Storm
• 06 Citrus Thunder
• 07 Indigo Mist
• 08 Silver Storm
