Swatches+Review: MUA Single Eye Shadows

(From left to right) Shade 5, 7, 8

(From left to right) Shade 10, 19, 20
 

It's about time for me to swatch and review these exceptionally affordable eye shadow by Make Up Academy. I have 6 to swatch and talk about. For starters there are only 2 finishes: matte and pearl. Here I have 4 pearls and 2 mattes. For the money you pay the quality of these shadows are so amazing with the exceptions of some lighter matte shades (I had shade 17, a matte beige, before but I really did not feel that I need to keep it since it looked like nothing on the lids and it is quite a dull beige unlike something that has a pinky undertone which can help to brighten the eyes).

Shade 5:

• Pearl finish
• Fairly pigmented
• Lime green with yellowish duo-chrome

Shade 7:

• Pearl finish
• Fairly pigmented
• Moss green

Shade 8:

• Pearl finish
• VERY pigmented
• Bright electric blue
• Similar to Urban Decay's painkiller (shown in blog post: link, not talked about but photographed in a palette)

Shade 10:

• Pearl finish
• Fairly pigmented
• Dark aubergine with blue shimmer

Shade 19:

• Matte finish
• Somewhat pigmented
• Medium brown
• Good for filling in eyebrows

Shade 20:

• Matte finish
• Somewhat pigmented
• Black
• Good for using as an eyeliner in place of pencil, liquid or gel
