NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Ultimate Eyeshadow Reviews Summary

Pigmentation

Pros:

• "The colours are highly pigmented, feel velvety and blend well; you can also use them wet or dry so they’re quite versatile in being able to achieve different looks."
• "Worth it for the blues and greens, but the red and purple shade are absolutely phenomenal and really eyecatching."
• "The colors are vibrant and highly-pigmented and last all day."
• "The darker colors have strong pigments, some of lighter colors not as much and a few need to be reapplied a couple of times to get the true color."
• "The eyeshadow on this palette is beautifully pigmented."
• "Literally the best eyeshadow I've used to date."
• "The consistency of the eyeshadow is perfect, and you can build up the colour in intensity easily."

Cons:

• "Your better off buying wet and wild bright pallet or one of milanis."
• "The colors have to be put on tons of times to show up."
• "They’re all extremely sheer and patchy."
• "The colors are super cute but there isn’t much pigment :("
• "I find these shades very hard to work with, you have to really pack them on for them to stick to the eye good."
• "The lighter shades aren't very pigmented and the light mattes are somewhat chalky."
• "Product is garbage. Not pigmented at all."

Longevity

Pros:

• "Lasted me all day."
• "No fading at the end of the night after having the eyeshadow on for several hours."
• "The shadows go on smoothly and don't crease after hours of wear."
• "The eyeshadow had good staying power lasting the entire 6hrs in packed hot club."
• "The shadow definitely lasts all day."
• "Very buttery and pigmented, washed off well but stayed on for my 10 hour medical shift!!"
• "It stays pretty well all day and even into the next morning."

Cons:

• "Overall, this palette is fine but I wouldn't spend more than $10 on it."
• "Not worth $20 for a tiny palette that I can't even use all of."
• "The only real negative is it isn't as long wearing as I would want, the color is less pigmented with hours of wear."
• "But it does not last for hours like other brands."
• "If you want a bold colour you may need to reapply throughout your day."
• "It’s not good without primer."
• "The colors didn’t blend, they didn’t stack."

Quality and Value

Pros:

• "Great product for the price."
• "It's so worth the money honestly."

• "Amazing quality for the price."
• "Wow! Very great value for their price."
• "For the price I'm not disappointed."
• "Great quality and a fantastic value!"

Cons:

• "The packaging itself came very scratched up and dusty, which was a bit of a letdown."
• "The case is all scratched the tape partly removed and the case itself is a skew on its hinges."
• "Then I opened it and the container started falling apart."
• "I want a refund."
• "Please spend a few more dollars and get a better pallet."
• "They don't blend as well as higher end products like Too Faced or Urban Decay, and the pigment isn't very high quality."
