Best Eyeshadows (Over $10) | 2018

Best of 2018

Best Eyeshadows (Over $10)

There were two major single releases this year: NARS Eyeshadows were completely revamped, and I reviewed every single single and duo.  When it came to some neutral favorites, I actually found that NARS won me over, particularly with the duos (which don’t qualify for this list, as they’re duos), but there were a few of the singles that caught my eye.  Make Up For Ever Artist Color Shadows also debuted earlier this year, which was effectively a redo of the Artist Shadow range that changed the pan size, shape, and reformulated a lot of the finishes.  Both ranges weren’t as consistent as I would have liked, though, especially for a permanent, core offering.

The formulas that were new and really impressed me as a whole were Marc Jacobs Beauty See-quins Glam Glitter Eyeshadows (loved just about every shade) and Dose of Colors Block Party Eyeshadows (enjoyed a good number of shades).   I really hope MJB will consider adding the See-quins range to the permanent line-up… it’s so good!

What mid-end/high-end eyeshadows did you reach for this year?
