Hello everyone
♥
Today’s review
is all about the latest eyeshadow palette by Rimmel –Magnifyes WOW Edition. The
collection WOW contains 2 mascaras, colorful eyeliner and one eyeshadow palette in
interesting color scheme. I already wrote about the mascara here, it is a nice mascara but I don’t think I’ll repurchase
it. I also tested the colorful eyeliners but currently I am not into eyeliners
and I don’t own any eyeliners at the moment.
Rimmel actually
launched 4 new palettes: Crimson (completely cherry-reddish shades), Electric
Violet (completely blue-purpleish shades), Jewel Rocks (completely green-mustardy shades)
and
WOW (variety of bright
shades). By this moment WOW is the only available on the
Bulgarian market from all of them but I’ll be happy to buy Crimson and Jewel
Rocks as well because they are exactly my cup of tea.
WOW
got my attention and I got
it since I was strongly attracted by the incredibly pretty petrol green shade –
green is my favorite color and I simply adore green makeup
♥
Rimmel changed
last year their eyeshadow formula and in the spring I bought the palette Spice,
which is completely in the trendy orange-red
color selection – review
& swatches you can see here
I am pretty
impressed by the quality of Spice and I use it a lot so I didn’t have any
doubts about adding WOW to my makeup collection: I wear a lot & dark makeup
quite often and this color selection is suitable for creating my beloved smokey
eye looks. If
you don’t like bold colorful makeup or you prefer delicate & neutral shades,
then this palette is definitely not for you.
This palette
contains 12 shades and all of them have either shimmer or metallic finish, so
that makes them suitable for creating bold, vamp and intense smokey eye – you
have limited options to create light & everyday look with it.
Shades are
described from left to right:
1.Orangy-red
with fine golden glow and shimmer finish – such a trendy shade in my favorite red color
selection, extremely suitable for green and hazel eyes: always when I wear this
type of eyeshadow my eyes look bright green ♥ I really love wearing orange-red smokey eyes and I
would wear this shade applied all over my mobile & lower lid and smoked out
with black or deep red. On everyday bases I have to wear more subtle and
delicate makeup and I often tend to apply this type of eyeshadow on my upper
lid with angled brush as an eyeliner – this way I get colorful but yet suitable
for everyday bases makeup.
2.Bronze
with orange undertone and shimmer finish – classic and pretty universal bronze shade, suitable
literally for everyone. I would wear it applied on my upper lid and smoked out
with dark brown or black, for classic smokey eye. For more everyday look I’ll
apply slightly this bronze shade on the upper lid with fluffy blending brush
and a bit of black eyeliner in the lash line + mascara.
3.
Light pink with pearly finish – the only light & neutral shade in the whole palette. Frosty light
pink with pearly finish, suitable for highlighting in the inner corner or for
applying all over the mobile lid for light & highlighted look. I wore it
already applied on the mobile lid with blending brush with some matte brown eyeshadow
on the lashline + mascara – it turns out fresh, doll-like, springtime makeup,
suitable for every day.
4.Frosted
white with hologram finish – this
shade is the most disappointed one from the whole palette. It looks interesting
at first sight because it is non-typical frosted white shade with holographic
hue in green-blueish, but applied on the skin it has such poor pigmentation
even over a base, it does not apply evenly and honestly I can’t see myself
wearing it.
5.Light
grey with baby blue undertone and shimmer finish – in the pan this shade looks grey, but applied on my
yellow toned skin looks like grey-blue shade. This shade isn’t exactly my cup
of tea and a shade I’ll reach for frequently, since I don’t really wear grey
although it looks good on me. I would wear it applied on the mobile lid and
smoked out with dark grey/black. Here you can see
makeup created by me in similar grey-blue shade.
6.Light
grey-green with shimmer finish – I may not get nice ware from the previous shade but this one is more
typical for me – I do wear green makeup quite often and I think I’ll wear this
too. It is suitable for highlighting the inner corner
whenever doing green smokey eyes and for soft & subtle green makeup I’ll
apply it all over the mobile lid with blending brush + some dark green eyeliner
and mascara.
7.Intense
olive green with yellow undertone and shimmer finish – amazing deep and intensive olive green shade, my
second favorite from this palette ♥ I already can imagine this shade applied all over the
mobile lid and smoked out with dark green or black. For more everyday look I’ll
apply it with light hand on the outer 1/3 from the mobile lid, carefully smoked
out with light neutral shade and some dark green eyeliner in the lash line.
Recently I wore this makeup and I received whole bunch of compliments. You can
see green makeup looks I created here, here and here.
8.Bright
teal with blue undertone and metallic finish – incredibly beautiful teal shade and the main reason I
got this palette ♥ I have a lot green eyeshadows with different finishes
but I don’t own anything similar to this. I’ll wear this shade applied all over
the mobile & lower lid and smoked out with matte black
♥ It looks amazing and it makes
my eyes pop. For more everyday look I’ll apply it with angled brush
as eyeliner + 2-3 coats mascara.
Obsessed ♥
9.Navy
blue with purple undertone and metallic finish – it reminds me a lot of the eyeshadow Addis Ababa by
NYX (review
here).
Before I used to wear navy
blue makeup quite often (you can see some makeup looks I created here and here). Usually I apply navy blue eyeshadow all over my mobile
& upper lid and then smoked it out with either black or anthracite.
10.Ultraviolet
with light blue undertone and shimmer finish – such an interesting and non-typical
purple shade, I haven’t
tried it on myself and I’m curious to see if it look good on me because when I
wear purple I usually go for dark purple or plum shade. I
can see it only applied all over the mobile lid and smoked out with cool purple
or black, for dramatic and bold smoke eye look.
11.Dark
blue-black with satin finish – at first sight this looks like a black, but applied on the skin appears
as navy blue with fine satin finish. It isn‘t interesting or non-typical shade but it’s suitable
for smoking out all blue, purple and green shades in this palette.
12.Anthracite
grey with satin base and fine silver glitter –
the darkest
shade in the palette, suitable for smoking out in the outer V for any cool
toned smokey eye.
All shades in
the palette, except for №4 have rich pay-off, easy application, does not require
patting to get intensive color and have good longevity even on its own.
According to my
perceptions this palette is suitable for women who wear dark and vamp makeup –
if you wear simple and neutral makeup, then better skip WOW.
WOW is great for
creating interesting smokey eye looks for night out but you need another
palette in order to achieve perfect smokey eye - I
personally could not create finished makeup look using only WOW because I need
at least 2 matte shades to get the perfect look: one medium dark brown/grey for
applying in the crease + powder/vanilla shade for softening the blending.
Overall:
For me this
eyeshadow palette is great drugstore palette – soft, butter shade with shimmer
finish, suitable mostly for creating dark, vamp and bold smokey eye looks. Teal
shade is the main reason I wanted to get this palette and I can’t wait to
incorporate it in a teal smokey eye look. Rest of the shades (beside the navy
blue and the red shade) are shades that I don’t own in my makeup collection and
I can experiment with new looks.
As is said I
wouldn’t be able to do a complete makeup look with this palette since I have to
combine it with 2 single matte eyeshadows – for the upcoming trips I plan to
pack WOW + 2 single eyeshadows (NYX Morocco and NYX Seoul).
Have you tried
the palette WOW and what are your thoughts?
