Faces Glam on Eyeshadow Duo Amber Review, Swatches and EOTD

Hey girls! Today, I am reviewing an eyeshadow duo (2 shades) from the new Silk Luxury Makeup Range of Faces Canada Cosmetics which I received few days back (Photos and Preview HERE). Eyeshadow? I am not that expert in using shades, just a beginner to be frank. Still, I will give my best for this review now. This eyeshadow duo is one among the products in the Silk Range set, and I am reviewing this first for my sweet readers who asked me to do so. . In this post, I am also going to do a EOTD for you! he he :P Enjoy the swatches, pictures and the entire review now. (I don't want to blabber and waste your time more)

My Views and Ratings

The Packaging
Oh god! The packaging is so cute, glossy and sturdy! Classy too. The eyeshadow duo comes in a small rectangular shaped glossy case with a wide mirror and a pretty eyeshadow brush inside it. Short and sweetly, it is very beautiful, compact and travel friendly. Nothing bad I could find in it.
5/5

Colour and Texture
The duo I got had 2 shades. One is amber and the other one pinkish rose, not so overpowering, it's really mild and lovely. The amber shade has bronze glitters and the rose one has light pink glitters on them, To say about the texture, it is so smooth, glides so easily onto the delicate skin without any clump and yes! It's pretty smooth, rich and silky as per the name. Both shades had glittery shimmer effect which I loved the most. No complaints about the colour & texture factor too! I can't even find one.
5/5

How it Works
I am going to finish this part short and sweet, you will know more wonderful things about this eyeshadow seeing my EOTD. The shades are so lovely as they would suit most of the skin colours. Dark, pale, dusky whatever you are! These shadows just gives a flattering effect when worn as single or both mixed together. I prefer using single shade sometimes matching my outfit, thick double duo combination for parties and a very mild duo combination for shopping, hang outs etc. The dull rose near lash line and the amber on the brow line looks really beautiful, however you can do whatever mixing with these duos to make your eyes beautiful. I am just an eyeshadow beginner, yet I feel this one more easy and comfortable for application and getting the effect I desire. The best thing about this duo next to the shade is the staying power. It stays for 5 hours without fading without a primer and 8+ hours you can expect with your primer. The shadow doesn't crease, clump or fade unevenly. Hoo hoo short and sweet? I did this part more long :P because I love the duo so much! Seeing the quantity and the quality, it's inexpensive I would say. Overall, its a good duo with a great staying power, lovely shades, shimmer effect, smooth texture and a good shelf life of 3 years. A single pan will last longer really. Give a try for sure! There are some other shades from on this Duo case. The new Silk Range Duo rocks as per the claims!
