If you are anything like I was, then your experience of The Body Shop was primarily limited to their wonderful body products, but I am delighted to say that I have been testing some of their makeup, and I am quite impressed by the quality.
The Body Shop Down To Earth Eye Palettes each feature:
• The individul shades all click in and out of the palette casing, so you can switch shades between palettes and quads.
• Shades come in three different finishes: true mattes, iridescent shimmers and eye-catching sparkles.
• All the shades can be used dry for easy blending or wet for more intense, vibrant color.
The Body Shop Down To Earth Eye Palette Black is a beautiful cool-toned palette that features a silver gray shimmer, and blackened navy blue shimmer, a gunmetal gray shimmer and a deep black matte. All four shades are richly pigmented, finely milled and easy to use. They are soft in texture, but present minimal to no fallout, and they spread across the skin easily, and deposit color evenly. Each of the colors is this quad offer buildable coverage, and they blend easily. California Lapis and Black Canyon Onyx are both beautiful on the lids and the crease if you seek a bold look, but I prefer to use them both as eye liners. They can be used wet for more intensity, or dry for a more subtle approach.
