Cover Girl Eye Enhancers Swatches and Review

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers in Aqua Paradise 690

Good day to all! I have another product review on Cover Girl Eye Enhancers 1 Kit Shadow Aqua Paradise 690. It's a very pretty and fun shimmer aqua shadow. It comes in a sturdy plastic packaging, with 2.5 grams of product, and a smooth applicator that works great in packing the shadow on the lids.

I love how vibrant and intense the color is. This isn't a very easy shade to pull off for everyday use but you can definitely work it alone or with other shades. When I swatched it the color picked up nicely and I didn't use too much product. I even poured water over it and it's still showing pretty well. I love the staying power and the pigmentation of this shadow. If you want it to look bolder and stay a lot longer you are welcome to use a primer. It is very easy to blend and build for a more intense effect. It has just enough shimmer to make it look pretty on the lids. The shadow is very fine and is pressed well so fall out is not an issue. 

I'll post some pictures soon of me using this shadow. In the mean time check out the swatches below on different lighting.

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers has a lot of colors to choose from. In the US this is considered as a drugstore product but not in the country because it's a little bit pricey. However, I think it's still worth the price because this is a good quality shadow. It's longer staying, pigmented, vibrant color, and looks really good on the lids. You can't go wrong with this eyeshadow at all. I give this product 4.5 STARS and I will definitely buy this again. Hope this helps! More review coming soon so please stay tuned. You all have a good one! :)

Simple and Easy Polished Look Tutorial

This look is simple and easy to do yet you appear polished. The eye makeup is very subtle and is wearable for during the day for running errands or even for work. It only takes about 15 minutes to do this look so it's ideal if you are in a hurry but you look like you spent a lot of time doing your makeup. So without further ado here are the steps.



1.) Prep your face with moisturizer or a face primer
2.) Blend just the right amount to bb cream or foundation or tinted moisturizer on your face. I love using bb creams because it has more coverage than a tinted moisturizer and lesser compared to a foundation. 
3.) Cover blemishes with concealer
4.) Apply a thin layer of loose powder using a face brush. Loose powder gives you a more natural finish and it doesn't cake, but you can use any translucent pressed powder as an alternative. Be careful to sweep it lightly on your face so you don't wipe off your bb cream or foundation.
5.) Take a thin layer of the lighter shade from Elf Mocha Swirl Duo Eyeshadow Cream eyeshadow and apply it on the inner 2/3 of the eyelid as base blending it well to avoid creasing. Take a little the darker color from the duo and place it on the outer third of the lid. 
6.) Pack on the Cover Girl Eye Enhancers in Mauveberry on top of the lighter base color.
7.) Apply the shimmery brown color from the Maybelline Eyeshadow Quad on top of the darker base shadow, bring it up to the crease, and blend it well.
8.) Using a slanted eyeliner brush place Cover Girl Eye Enhancers in Shimmering Onyx or any black shadow on the outer third of the upper lash line and bring it down to the lower lash line. 
9.) Lightly place Cover Girl Eye Enhancers in Pink Chiffon over the brow bone for highlight. 
10.) Define your brows by first using the wax from the Maybelline Brow Befinist and then set it with the brow powder 
11.) Curl your lashes and apply mascara on the upper and lower lashes
12.) Take a big face brush and apply the Lumene bronzer on your face drawing a 3 and an E (brush the bronzer starting from forehead and bringing it down to your cheeks, and then down to the chin drawing a 3 and then doing the other side of the face drawing an E). 
13.) Apply Annabelle Blush which is just a golden bronze shade or any blush color on the apples of the cheeks and blend the excess with the bronzer. 
14.) Apply L'oreal Endless Kissable Lip Color In Finest Wine or any nude lipstick for a simpler look. 


Here is the completed look!

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers 1 Kit Haul, Swatches, and Review



I recently got a few Cover Girl Eye Enhancers and I am very happy with the shades I got because some of these I can wear alone. I can also use it together for a smokey eye look or even match it with other shadows I have. It comes in a 2.5 grams with its own applicator.

I love these shadows because they are very pigmented. A little goes a long way and they are very much blendable and buildable if you want the color to pick up more.The product is fine and very soft however since they are soft you have to be a little careful with fallouts. The staying power of these shadows are pretty good especially if you use a primer or a base shadow.

Cover Girl Eye Enhancer Shimmering Onyx # 440

Shimmering Onyx is a pretty black shadow with sparkles and is good as an outer v or outer corner color. It can also be used on the lash line instead of an eyeliner for a more subtle look. I have used this for a smokey look and they are great!

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers Blue Smoke # 595

Blue Smoke is a light blue pearl shadow that is perfect to wear alone or matched with other shades for a smokey look.

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers Mauveberry # 510

Mauveberry is a pretty matte shadow great for brow bone color. It's a little light to be worn alone but works well when matched with other shades.

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers Violet Mist # 555

Violet Mist is going to be my favorite inner eye shadow because it has a great amount of pearls that is perfect as highlights. It can also be used to lightly highlight the brows or the inner corner of the eyes.
