A is for Awesome

November 17th, 2010 by Karen 12 Comments



Okay, not really. It’s for Almay! That’s the Intense I-Color Trio for Browns 001 ($7).

It comes with a trio of lid, crease and highlight shades that are supposed to bring out the color of brown eyes.

There’s also trios with coordinating colors for green, hazel and blue eyes, too.

Have you tried this? What do you think?

    I have this! I think I liked the colors better in the palette than on my eyes, but I still use it occasionally

    I know my friend uses this almost exclusively. Shes not big into eyeshadows. I think this is pretty much her only eyeshadow, but she loves it. She uses the one for blue eyes, though.

    My sister also loves this. She also is not very into makeup.

    I also have this and I use the lavendar more than I use the other two colors. I think the lavendar is great and have received compliments on my makeup. I use this on days I don’t want heavy makeup just a more natural look.

    I had the one for blues eyes a few years ago, and I wasn’t a huge fan. The gold “contrast” color was nice, but the blues were just… meh. My friend had one for brown eyes, and I actually really liked the pink – it reminded me of UD’s “sin.”

    I like the idea, but I never like the color palettes they have for blue eyes. I usually don’t like wearing blue eyeshadows, and they always have blue for blue eyes. Actually, I tend to like the other eye palettes better, and if I like them enough I’ll buy those ones 😀 I would totally buy this one, as I wear the colors in it frequently. I’ve also seen palettes for green and hazel eyes that I’ve liked better too.

    I actually have an older version of that palette (no a’s stamped across the shadow) stowed in my desk at work — unopened. I bought it after a lunchtime brow waxing left me with virtually no eye makeup on. : P Now I keep it around, just in case…

    I don’t like that there were blues for the blue eyes. Yuck. One was super frosty on me, I was fortunate enough to miss the 80s the first time around, I don’t need to relive them now.
