Bite-Size Eyeshadows, Creamy, Blendable, Ultra-Pigmented, Easy to Apply, Cream & Sugar, Matte & Shimmer, 3.5g

Product Information

I really, really love burgundy eyeshadows and red eyeshadows – ever since I learned I had hazelnut eyes a few years ago, I have tended to reach out for red eye makeup. I mentioned the ELF Bite Size eyeshadow palette in Rose Water in my guide to the best pink eyeshadow palettes, simply because if you’re looking for pink and mauve eyeshadows, it’s a great one to have in your makeup kit. Contour is typically a shade or two darker than your foundation or concealer. Contouring is used to create the effect of shadow and define your facial features. Face Primer is used under your foundation to smooth and refine your skin, blur your pores, prevent creasing, even out imperfections, adjust skin tone, absorb oil, and eliminate unwanted shine. It creates a smooth, even canvas for the rest of your makeup while helping grip your makeup. It can come in a liquid, cream, or gel form.

A big selling point, to me, for eyeshadow palettes is variety in the color range. I want to be able to see on the eye that multiple colors are being used to create the look, rather than getting the illusion that one shade was applied all over the lid. You can look in the pans of Berry Bad and Acai You and see there is not much variation between the shades, which translates to the eyes. Pumpkin Pie sort of does this too, but not to the extent of the others. This fact is disappointing, but the palettes still have their time and place. Start by selecting a base shade—something close to your skin tone such as pearl, beige, or peach. Use a flat eyeshadow brush and sweep this shade over your lids and up to your brow bone Foundation comes in cream, liquid, and powder formulas and offers coverage that ranges from sheer to light to medium to full. It can provide a matte finish, a dewy finish, or an iridescent finish. Whatever coverage or finish you need, there is something for you. Consider the size of the palette. A mini eyeshadow palette with a curated selection of shades can be less overwhelming for beginners than an 18-pan eye palette with vibrant shades that are a mix of matte, satin, and shimmer shades. Matte shades are the easiest to work with and the most suitable for daily wear which would be great for a beginner. Wearing these for an entire day is easily possible. I wore mine for around ten hours with zero products used to set it and had just started noticing a little creasing. However, remember that I used an eyeshadow primer underneath them. Nice Color Payoff

I loved the ELF Bite Size eyeshadow palettes as soon as they were released a few years ago, so today, we’re going to be doing a little review with swatches of the marvels the super affordable Bite Size palettes are. Bronzer helps to give your skin a warm, luminous glow—as if you’ve spent time in the sun. They can also lightly sculpt your face. Bronzers come in cream or putty and powder form and may be matte or shimmery. While you can totally do a full look with each palette, or mix and match, sometimes having only four shades can be limiting. Not all of the palettes have a neutral shade for the crease, or a white shade to set the eyelid. Depending on how fancy you want to get with your eye look, you may supplement with other palettes. Either way, your creativity is your only limit as you can create endless looks with each palette. At some point, I came across ELF palettes that the brand released for spring a few years ago called Bite-Size palettes.

I usually really try to scrutinize a product to see if there’s someone it’s not going to work for. For example, would a product not be a good idea for beginners? However, I couldn’t find anything really bad about these bite-size eyeshadow products. There’s a reason they’ve gone viral and are now adorning vanities everywhere! That, in terms of green eyeshadow palettes, is a standard I did not want to get away from but I didn’t want to cash out a fifty when the full-size ELF eyeshadow palettes are a tenner at most. If you’ve been here before, you know that I’ll use any kind of rainbow eyeshadow palette before I’m caught using nude eyeshadows. It’s just not my vibe and never has been.

Concealer is used to brighten the dark areas of your face including under-eye circles and recessions around the mouth or nose. They also can help cover up blemishes, discoloration, redness, or scars. They make the green in my eyes pop, and the two metallic burgundy shades really do a great job. The only letdown in this palette is the lighter shade, but if you’re going to use it to blend out the darker matte eyeshadow, it still performs quite well. Product description by the brand: Ultra-pigmented eyeshadow quads that deliver creamy, bendable color in perfect mini compacts. Um, No ? Used some setting spray on brush and dipped into shade 4 to get an intensified berry/brown on the outer corner

Figure out your skin's undertone. Is your skin more warm, cool, or somewhere in between? For a warm undertone, think earthy vibes with shades of copper, bronze, rose gold and warm browns. If you have cool undertones, go for jewel tones, blues, purples and even silvers. If you have a neutral undertone, you can wear any color you want. The matte shades weren’t dry or chalky. Shimmer shades didn’t have a ton of fallout. The pigments slide smoothly over your lid. e.l.f. nailed it with this formula! Awesome Wear Time In this review, I will share my thoughts on the product quality, a beautiful eye makeup look I created using all the colours, and whether I recommend buying this palette. You’ll love how pigmented these shades are for a few dollars. All of the shades that I tried had a serious color payoff. This seems to be a theme with every bite-size eyeshadow from e.l.f.

What is the look you are trying to achieve? If you prefer a more natural everyday eye look, go for neutral palettes with soft browns, taupes and beiges. If you want an evening vibrant look, go with an eye palette with jewel tones and vibrant pigments.
