Review: Revlon CustomEyes Shadow & Liner -- 025 Metallic Chic

For my first ever drugstore brand, review, I've chosen Revlon's CustomEyes Shadow & Liner which allows you to

Easily create and customize the eye look you want with 4 shadows and one liner. For dramatic eye popping looks like never before!

The colors consist of a slate grey, a pinky-peach, light golden yellow, teal-green, and light silvery blue.

The back of the compact has a helpful diagram of how to best use and place the shades when creating your own look. I chose this color set since it was the only one that was running low, so it must have been a popular one. I could see how although the colors don't look like they work well together, you can still create quite a few combinations of two shadows and include some other shades you already own to make its diversity work to your benefit. I prefer to buy pre-made palettes that have different color families mixed in since you can experiment with an "unusual" color without having to spend a fortune if you find that teal-green looks ghastly on you. Overall, the palette was disappointing with the only standout being the charcoal-grey shade although its color payoff aided by a primer was at best mediocre. The runner up for least disappointing was the teal-green shade, but even that didn't cooperate as well as I had hoped. Suffice to say, I wouldn't recommend this palette since the pigmentation was extremely poor even if you found out five out of the five colors worked with your skin tone.
