Seventeen Eyeshadow Mono Review

I would like to firstly say sorry for not having posted in about three months now! I recently started a new job which I have been loving and to be honest, all the free time I have had has really been used for relaxing and chilling out because working is surprisingly tiring!

For today's post I am doing a review of 5 of the Seventeen Eyeshadow Monos (£3.89). I bought the shade Rose Quartz a few months ago now and loved it so much that I decided I must investigate the other colours and now I have 5. I have never come across such amazing pigmentation in drugstore eyeshadows before. These shades easily rival my Urban Decay shadows (and better my MAC ones) across colour payoff, lasting power and blendability. They are soooo buttery soft it's incredible - for the price tag you really can't go wrong. Below I have individually reviewed each shade with swatches (picture heavy!).

This photo is just to show the packaging. They come in little square-ish pots which are very sturdy and have a cool little catch which you push down to open them.

Seventeen Eyeshadow Mono - Funfair

This is my most recent purchase and initially I was a little apprehensive about it because it looks very similar to a shade in my Zoeva Rose Golden Eyeshadow Palette which I find really hard to wear. In actual fact it is a peachy gorgeous shade (and probably my favourite) with an almost duo-chrome appearance with the gold running through it. It's so easy to throw on but is still different enough from your standard champagne-pink shade to be really unique and interesting on the lid. I have heard this is a dupe for MAC Expensive Pink as well although I've never tried it so can't confirm this. Definitely a must-have!

Seventeen Eyeshadow Mono - Statuesque

This may look very similar to Funfair but is actually quite different as it is much more of a champagne colour and leans more pink than peach but is still a really pretty shade. It is almost identical to Urban Decay Sin but is a bit darker but definitely has the same amazing pigmentation and creaminess. Quite similar to a lot of shades I own but still a staple in my collection.

Seventeen Eyeshadow Mono - Rose Quartz

This is the one I first heard talked about on YouTube by FleurdeForce and I always trust her opinion because she's very honest and genuine so I knew I had to get it. I would say in person it is a bit more lilac/purple than it looks in the pan but I still love it a lot. It is a silver/champagne with a taupey/lilac undertone and remarkably similar to By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Misty Rock (which I don't own but have swatched). It's a unique shade in my collection but still subtle enough for day-to-day wear. Probably the most pigmented out of them all but I did have an accident with it the other day which is why there is a chunk missing out of the corner :(.

Seventeen Eyeshadow Mono - Walnut Pearl

This is probably my least used shade out of them all simply because I don't really tend to wear such warm eyeshadows. It is a coppery-rust shade which I think would look great on green eyes and does look quite nice on brown eyes (like mine) as well but I just find it a little hard to wear for some reason. The pigmentation is great though so if you're into warm autumnal colours then I would definitely recommend this one.

Seventeen Eyeshadow Mono - Brown

In contrast to the other, more inventive names we have Brown which is, as you would think, a nice cool-toned brown which is dark enough to be used in the crease or outer corner for definition but still light enough so be a one-shade-wonder all over the lid. A very versatile shade which suits all eye colours and looks and a must in any makeup collection.

Overall if you can't tell already I am so impressed by these shadows. The quality is incredible and I will definitely be picking up some more. There are 7 or 8 more shades in the collection but I believe most of those are more bold shades and less neutral but I'm sure will be just as pigmented and amazing if those are more your sort of shades. If you only get one I would say get Rose Quartz just because it is so unique and such a universal shade which will flatter most skin types I think.

Thank you for reading!
