It’s time I let the cat out of the bag—I don’t like eyeshadow. Whereas I don’t put on a ton of make-up on the whole, I particularly don’t decide for lots of eye make-up. Maybe it’s as a result of it takes me without end to do and I find yourself hating the ultimate end result, or maybe it’s because of my poor dexterity. However you already know what? I’m realizing it may not be a “me” downside. 

After attempting Advantage Magnificence’s new Solo Shadow (which Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Hudson, and Bethenny Frankel have already worn), I’ve come to the conclusion that I merely wasn’t utilizing the precise merchandise. As a result of though I inform all of my mates I hate eyeshadow, I truly am a fan of this components.

The truth that it’s really easy to make use of makes it excellent for novices like me who barely know the fundamentals of apply eyeshadow. The Solo Shadow is actually foolproof, which was a serious shock to me as a result of I at all times discover a solution to paint on a clown face or raccoon eyes at any time when I get inside a foot of an eyeshadow palette.

And that’s the opposite factor! Advantage’s eyeshadow is available in single-product packaging so you possibly can actually handpick the colours you assume will give you the results you want. Gone are the times of shopping for a whole palette solely to dip into the identical two shades time after time. There’s quite a bit much less waste with these particular person pots, however there’s additionally quite a bit much less going backwards and forwards attempting to select a shade.

You’ve come to this story on the excellent time as a result of Advantage Magnificence’s Black Friday sale simply began. By November 26, take 20 % off of all the things on the location (excluding some present units, however not our collab!).

The Solo Shadow is available in eight beautiful shades that received’t scare away eyeshadow amateurs. They’re all impartial tones and muted colours, which is a dream for all of my fellow make-up minimalists. Even the “assertion” shades are doable. In truth, I swiped the colour Social onto my lids with out even realizing it’s technically a mushy mauve hue.

My go-to pairing has been Social, the mushy mauve, and Midcentury, a heat brown. This was the duo I randomly selected on my first check of the product, which matches to indicate that once more, there’s no messing up with these eyeshadows. Put on a single shade in your lids, or combine and match with out worrying about whether or not the colours look good collectively—as a result of they simply do!

The 2 shades I’m most excited to strive are Nelson, a mushy grey, and Midnight, a traditional navy. I’m pondering of utilizing them as liners for a mushy flick, which, by the best way, may be achieved with the dual-ended eyeshadow brush Advantage Magnificence launched alongside the Solo Shadow. Brush No.2 helped my eyeshadow apply so seamlessly. The bristles are extraordinarily mushy and delicate (identical to those on Brush No.1), plus the tapered finish is ideal for making a winged liner look. 

However let’s speak concerning the eyeshadow components. The Solo Shadow is a buildable cream-to-powder second that affords a soft-matte end. And once I say this shadow doesn’t budge, I imply it. I’ve the world’s oiliest eyelids and have struggled with earlier formulation creasing. Advantage’s new eyeshadows haven’t creased on me but, nor do they make a large number round my eyes and on my cheeks. Wherever you apply the product is the place it’ll dry shortly and keep in place all through the day.

I can’t overlook to say the superb skincare substances packed into these gems. Chamomile extract, calendula extract, magnolia bark extract, peptides, and sunflower seed oil make this components one your pores and skin with love. These substances soothe, easy, nourish, and decrease the look of wonderful traces. Crusty eye make-up, no extra! 

And should you’re a contact lens girlie like me, don’t fear concerning the shadows doubtlessly inflicting irritation. I’ve but to expertise any discomfort from this ophthalmologist-tested components.

At this level, I’m certain you’re uninterested in listening to me babble on and on concerning the new Solo Shadow from my all-time favourite make-up model, Advantage Magnificence (which celebs like Hailey Bieber, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz, and extra love, too). So go on, add a few the versatile shades to your cart for a reduced value (additionally obtainable at Sephora). And whilst you have a procuring cart open, you would possibly as effectively throw in just a few of my different Advantage faves. Do not forget that you get free transport in your order of $40+ plus a complimentary Signature Bag together with your first order. So go forth and deal with your self to all that Advantage has to supply.

Hailey Bieber has beforehand worn the Flush Balm in Raspberry Beret and that was sufficient to persuade me to strive the shade. I can affirm that it’s lovely, straightforward to use, and tremendous natural-looking. Should you’ve been wanting to offer the viral strawberry make-up a strive, look no additional than this blush.

The Minimalist is what first obtained me hooked on Advantage. The basis and concealer stick affords the right quantity of protection and feels light-weight on the pores and skin.
