One of the great pleasures associated with beauty blogging is being introduced to products that you might otherwise not have tried. Recently I was introduced to a few products from Younique, and am pleased to report that I have been very impressed by the quality of their products.

About Younique:

Younique, famous for its best-selling Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes+, is the first direct selling company to pioneer the social media-based business model. Founded by a brother- sister team – Derek Maxfield and Melanie Huscroft – Younique offers women the opportunity to look and feel great while helping advance the brand’s mission of uplifting, empowering and validating women around the world.

I love neutral eyeshadow palettes, and always have room for more high quality neutrals that are finely milled and beautifully pigmented. Younique Moodstruck Addiction Shadow Palette 1 is a gorgeous palette of seven infinitely wearable neutrals that are as stunning on the skin as they are in the palette. Each of the shades is ultra-finely milled, and they effortlessly glide across the skin and deposit color evenly and flawlessly. They blend and buff with great ease, and the colors themselves are utterly gorgeous. These shadows are crease-resistant, fade-resistant, long-wearing and are the colors are buildable.

According to Younique,

You’ll be addicted to each of the three available palette options, with each boasting seven expertly coordinated shades with ultra-smooth matte, pearl and high shimmer finishes! State-of-the-art matte finishes provide blendable and buildable payoff with a creamy smooth texture that’s perfect for shading. The velvety pearls’ intense colors have a versatile finish that can be applied dry for a highlight or shading or wet to outline or contour the eye. For long-lasting wear, blend with the brand’s property Refreshed Rose Water for long-lasting wear! Metallic shimmer finishes marry the color purity of a cream with the shading and layering qualities of a solid eyeshadow for color that applies like a powder and melts into a metallic luster.

  Left to Right: Elated, Sincere, Brassy, Chipper, Swanky, Forthright and Zealous.

Elated is a Matte Nude

Sincere is a Metallic Beige

Brassy is a Shimmer Golden Copper

Chipper is a Matte Milk Chocolate

Swanky is a Shimmery Antique Gold

Forthright is a Matte Dark Chocolate 

Zealous is a Metallic Brown Shadow

N.B.: Elated is barely visible in my swatches at the far left because it is a close match to my skin tone, and for me it works best as a base shade. Swanky is described as a Shimmery Antique Gold, but I consider it more of a gorgeous golden taupe.
