MAKE UP FOR EVER

A pro choice for superior shadows no matter what color mood you're in. The incredibly pigmented pressed powders come in a dazzling array of colors and finishes (over 125 at last count). Choose matte, satin or iridescent shadows in everything from rich neutrals to neon colors that can be used anywhere on the face or body.
The signature formula of highly micronized pigments, nylon powder and silica allow effortless blending and long-lasting, color rich results. |

Kryolan
Eye Shadow Color Art |
An enormous selection of matte and pearlescent finishes presented by color family. Besides the usual fashion shades, Kryolan makes an extensive collection of theatrical colors which are available as single pans but also come in a number of awesome ready made palettes like the one pictured to the left.
These shadows are much more than just eye makeup. The colors can be used for special effects and many other Film, Video and Stage applications. |

La Femme
Pressed Eyeshadow |
| Pros have been using these amazingly affordable pressed shadows forever. Ridiculous value and the refills (@ $3 each) fit into standard palettes with a 1.5" opening. Of course they sell a perfect 12 well palette that you can customize to your heart's content. Think about it...a customized palette complete with 12 eyeshadows for around $50? CRAZY! |
 |
Urban Decay
Eyeshadow |
Pros, celebrities, and makeup junkies LOVE these pigment-rich shadows. Each subway token compact is loaded with color, and very few binders (the stuff that holds shadow together). The result is eyeshadow that blends effortlessly and lasts all day (or night). They can be used wet or dry and come in lots of finishes (sparkle, shimmer, duotone or satin).
PRO NOTE: "Oil Slick" is the supreme shimmering black, none better. |
 |
Illamasqua
Powder Eyeshadow |
| Another Pro choice due to their crazy pigment levels in vibrant standout colors. Although the brand is reletively new, they've embraced the needs of Pro artists immediately (their Creative Director is Alex Box...can you say WOW!) Bottom line - these shadows perform. |
 |
Ben Nye
Artist's Eye Shadow Palette |
New artist with a steak appetite, but a hamburger budget? Ben Nye offers a sleek, light, yet durable eyeshadow palette you fill with any of the 40 smooth matte or 22 luminescent Lumiere Grande colors. All densely pigmented and completely versital for many application techniques and priced right for a beginning budget.

Yaby Cosmetics
Pearl Paint Shadow |
These intensely colored little buttons of shadow are taking the Pro market by storm. They act like a cream shadow, but it's actually a powder! The extremely pigmented shimmering powder applies true to color on ALL skintones and are water resistant when applied to bare skin or over other water-resistant products.
Bonus Round: Vegan friendly - contains no animal by products. |
 |
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics
Loose Color Concentrates |
| Micronized pigments blended to perfection with shimmering mica for use anywhere else on the face and body. These densely pigmented powders add a stunning metallic shimmer wherever you place them...and stay put! They can also be added to other products to create custom finishes. I added FA Transforming Gel (see above) and created custom waterproof cream eyeshadow...brilliant! |
 |
Naked Cosmetics
Pure Mineral Pigment - Color Collections |
| Naked Cosmetics makes great individual colors, but we love the Color Collections ($$ great price $$). In each set you get 6 coordinated pots of 100% oxidized mica...a pure mineral compound that contains no talc, oils, waxes or other fillers. 100% color that can be used as Eye Shadow, Eyeliner, Lipstick, Blush, Bronzer...hey, you're the artist...you decide! |
EYELINER & ACCESSORIES |
 |
FACE atelier
Transforming Gel |
Mix a drop of this glorious gel with your fave eyeshadow and WHAM-BAM-WOW...instant, longlasting waterproof eyeliner in any shade you can imagine! Do the same thing to create waterproof eyebrow color.
Dying over those new waterproof cream eyeshadows? Save your $$$, you can make them yourself by adding a few drops of this gelatinous wonder to those fabulous loose shimmer and pigment powders.
Blenderella can honestly say this has "tranformed" the way I look at eye makeup products. |
 |
Too Faced Cosmetics
Liquif-Eye |
| Same concept (for eyelining only)...but with 2 cool extras. This water-resistent, smudge-proof wonder has a built in fiber tip brush for precise lining and actually intensifies the powder color you use it with. |
 |
Stila Cosmetics
Smudgepot |
The first and still the very best gel eyeliner and shadow. This clever little pot of intense pigments has an inky intensity that leaves powder shadows looking rather limp. An all-time favorite for creating the sultry, smoky eye.
Apply with a liner brush for razor-sharp precision or smudge it with your fingers or a soft eye brush for more shadow-like coverage. |
 |
MAKE UP FOR EVER
Aqua Eyes |
| Densely pigmented, creamy pencil liners that glide on like a dream and then set to a water-resistant finish...and refuse to budge even in the most extreme conditions. The dreamy application is thanks to volitile (evaporating) silicone, the insane pigment level is typical of Make Up For Ever professional products. Say adieu (that's goodbye in French) to renegade eyeliner running or fading away...Aqua Eyes is here to stay! |
 |
Urban Decay
24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil |
| Repeat what we said about the MUFE pencil above...exactly! Same creamy texture, ease of application, with a gorgeous selection of fab colors to choose from. Choices, choices, choices...LOVE IT! |
 |
Stila Cosmetics
Kajal Eye Liner |
These sultry kohl pencils mimic the ultra-soft texture of the Indian eye darkener of the same name. They glide on gently yet leave a bold, clear stroke of rich color. They can be used to create both precise and smokey, smudged lines.
BTW...did I mention that the jewel tones are CRAZY STUNNING? |
 |
Rimmel
Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil |
The same soft, smudgeable, fade resistant, dense colour application of the expensive Kohl brands at a fraction of the cost.
Sharply defined or
blended to a softly smudged look...these pencils pack an A+ punch (Green Shimmer is so pretty it's sinful!) |
