Top Ten Eye Shadows of All Time

Eye shadows have always been a staple cosmetic that would surely deem every makeup look incomplete with their mere absence. So when it comes to choosing the best eye shadow that could perfect one’s look by making the eyes stand out and appear more striking, every girl may want to check out the top ten eye shadows of all time in the list below:

10. MAC Plumage Eye Shadow

Many ladies love to wear lovely, rich eye colors that easily give their eyes that popular deep, smoky effect. The MAC Plumage Eye Shadow is just the perfect choice for them as this dark blue-green color looks impeccable on the outer edges and crease of the eye.

9. Chanel’s Silky Eye Shadow Duo

A powder eye shadow ideal for women with extremely light skin tones, the Silky Eye Shadow offered by Chanel promises a long-lasting, smooth application. Featuring matte and pearly shades that remain on the eyelids for hours minus the creases, this super smooth eye color could be applied either slightly moistened to achieve a defined look or dry for a fainter shadowing.

8. MAC Melon Pigment

While the entire MAC Pigment collection offers well-concentrated loose powders that effectively stay on the skin without smearing or caking, the MAC Pigment in Melon, in particular, is considered one of the best. That’s because you can use it for an intense eye makeup look using a nicely blended crease or to get a sophisticated wash of color with its shimmery golden orange highlight. It especially works on girls with bronzy and brown eyes.

7. Make Up For Ever No. 92 Eye Shadow

Coming in nylon and well-pigmented pressed powders, the Make Up For Ever No. 92 eye shadow assures a passionate, easy-to-blend, long-lasting matte eye makeup that could be layered effortlessly. This vibrant matte purple is excellent for a complete eyelid wash, which may also include the eye’s outer corner.

6. MAC Paint Pot

Whether your main objective of using the MAC Paint Pot is for priming the eyelids or using it in full color, you could only expect wonders coming from this cream eyeshadow. Graceful blending and more depths are to be expected from this MAC baby, which solely guarantees a vibrant, intense look.

5. Christian Dior 5-Color Eye Shadow Set

If you have a penchant for ultra silky eye shadows that offer great pigmentation even with really light colors, the Dior 5-Color Eye Shadow Palette would fit the bill perfectly! Choosing from the five versatile and rich colors, being able to fashion an eye makeup that could go from simple to classy won’t be a problem at all.

4. MAC Eye Shadow in Shroom

Winning the Allure Magazine 2010 Readers’ Choice Award, the light brown MAC Eye Shadow in Shroom is perfect for early mornings when your eyes need to appear more alert than they actually are. What’s more is that it can also be applied as a cheek highlighter. How convenient could it get?

3. Urban Decay Baked Eye Shadow

While this excellently pigmented rich bronze color is great for women with olive skin tones and green eyes, it is also absolutely wonderful for just about anyone, especially if finished off with a nice mascara application and winged eyeliner.

2. Bare Escentuals True Gold Glimmer

A wonderful gold color that girls with caramel-brown skin would surely love, this shimmery eye shadow targets an elegant finish without the conspicuous flecks one might find in other gold eye makeup.

1. MAC Vanilla Eye Shadow

Lastly, the delicate peachy-ivory peppered with shimmer leads to an almost immaculate velvet finish with the help of its highly-pigmented powder components that perfectly blend and cover. It is virtually flawless and smooth as an inner eye or brow highlighter that one can never go wrong in using it.
