So what’s the worst eyeshadow you’ve ever used? Maybe it was too sheer or lacked pigment? Maybe it was dry and blended horribly!

Share some of your worst eyeshadow experiences.

My recent one is Revlon Not Just Nudes! Ugh these were horrible. Really dry, pretty sheer, and blended out so muddy! I can’t think of any one brand but five or so years ago I remember mattes being terribly dense, dry, and difficult to apply. Things have improved considerably in the matte world with much silkier formulas but a few years ago even higher end brands had really bad mattes.

How about you?

What’s the worst eyeshadow you’ve ever used?

Or even an eyeshadow palette that was just ALL bad, nothing redeeming about it…

Do share!

Most people try to use products like the Maybelline Dream Blender or Elizabeth Arden Makeup Blender Brush and hate them. Personally, I love ’em. So I was every so delighted over this new Japonesque Blending Trio for Spring 2016!

This Blending Trio ($19) contains not one, not two, but three different soft blending sponges attached to a handle to apply foundations, creams, and powders with.

• Rounded Blending Sponge

Perfect for use around the jawline and across the forehead to provide an airbrushed finish.

• Angled Blending Sponge

Perfect for use around the contours of the face to give makeup a soft, airbrushed finish.

• Pointed Blending Sponge

Ideal for makeup application in and around harder to reach areas.

The Japonesque Blending Trio is available now at Ulta and Ulta.com.
