The E.L.F. Haul begins! this is the first product review from the recent E.L.F. haul. Just a basic matte black eyeshadow, that feels like it's actually ground up charcoal. o.O go figure.Keep reading for more info.
What I Think: I bought this shadow to do just what it says it does. I needed a nice matte black eye shadow that i can wear alone and use to contour. This shadow ended up being perfect! It is a little messy at times, but that's only because its so super pigmented. It defiantly delivers when it comes to color coverage.
On the E.L.F. products there is usually a little circle sticker that says what the name of the product is. In this case "Charcoal" If you click on the picture it will get bigger.
the eyeshadow comes in a litte box like the ones the cream liners come in
They're accompanied by a small brush, not sponge tip!
The back of the packaging.
All the shadows come with a little brush like this. I think its a great added bonus.
This matte shadow form the E.L.F. Studio line comes in a square shifter jar.
How ever, i found the combination of sifter and shadow to be very messy.
I think the sifter is a little unnecessary, but if you like sifted jars you can leave it
Luckily it can be easily taken off.
The shadow itself has a few lumps and bumps in it but they break up on contact
With sifter and with out flash
With out sifter and with out flash
This is a true black. That's all there is to it. No duo tones and reflects. Just matte black.
It also kinda looks like charcoal...I found it a little odd
With out flash
I had no problem working with the shadow. It picks up easy and heavy on any brush i've tried. It offers a lot of coverage with out going back for more product
With flash
It spreads and blends fairly easy. The only complaint i have about this shadow it that it seems to have a brown quality to it around the edges, so you have to put extra effort into blending if you want to avoid that
With out flash again
Price: $3.00 at Eyes Lips Face .Com
Worth it?:For three dollars! Yes! I also got this half off in the Studio sale, so even more worth it. If you want a nice black matte shadow i'd give this a try. It's a wonderful product that i really like. No fooling around when it comes to this one. It does what it says it does, and beautifully so.
