These $4 Eyeshadow Palettes BLEW ME AWAY!

[@jeaniewooten5894]

I do appreciate makeup brands who uses clean names for their shades.

[@sayhello5377]

Oh, I agree! Half of them have names like “Lust” and “Red panties” and might as well be named “Oozing Herpes.” 🤢

[@Zabrena]

Thank you for your kind words, Sara! :) It is a sincere pleasure and I hope it doesn't come across as a complaint, because time flies when I sit down to do these! Time flies when you're having fun!... And to those who want to say I'm "desperate" or "looking for fame"... thanks for the laugh! This is my JOB and I have a robust work ethic as we all should.

[@sassydoe9407]

I have 2 of their pallets (nude and pink toned) from years ago, and the quality is decent. Just pulled them out the other day. The packaging is more attractive than some that followed.

[@lipstickzombie4981]

Their singles in The Velvets formula are the best drugstore price single pan eyeshadows I've used and they discontinued it. I've avoided their eyeshadow palettes for a long time because the shadows in those barely cling to my eyelids and the fallout is nasty. I'm wondering at that time if the singles and the palettes are made by the same brand at all.😅

I love the coral and I love it on you.

[@ac2055]

It's a great coral palette. I've been using it a few days and like it. It's like a mini Colourpop Baby Got Peach palette, but w a dark shade!

[@rachelp.4182]

I usually want to shy away from non-neutral palettes but the color stories are all very wearable, approachable, and classy looking! Might have to pick a few of these up!

[@dionline88]

OMG, these are fabulous! You sealed the top spot on my KZbin creator list when you said you prefer cool-toned shades. Thank you!!! We've been inundated with warm-toned palettes for so incredibly long that I snatch up any cooler ones that come to market! These looks were fabulous and I know I'll be getting at least 3. You rock - thank you for creating stunning looks with these. I hope your weekend is wonderfully blessed as well!!

[@e4817]

Like she said, it’s personal preference. I prefer warm-toned neutrals because I have hazel eyes, and warm tones make the green in my eyes more prominent

[@estherwilliams7005]

I hope they come out with more colors to this line. I would love a cool toned pink pallet and a cool toned taupe pallet. Hooray for a good $4 pallet.

[@kimw.7366]

Amen to the red based shadows....they need to pause :) Been a fan of Essence for a long time! Brilliant to see these pallets. So beautiful xO

[@stars_for_night_lights]

When I use shadows that have fallout, I first wet my brush. This prevents the fallout and also makes the colors pop.

[@terrifromm5085]

I like that Coral palette. I really like the Essence brand. Their mascaras are supreme.

[@mamapeck8094]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the curls 😍

[@judithcatlett8518]

I returned to the eye look you created that you were not that impressed with, but found it to go with your complexion beautifully. And your choice of lip color was perfect. I do know a lot of Influencers wear the pink color a LOT, but I still found this color on you perfect.

[@sassydoe9407]

Agree👍

[@ac2055]

Since Zabrena has cool undertones, I can see why she has moved away from peachy pinks. I have warm undertones tho and grabbed the Coral Me Maybe last week and it is awesome for the price, compactness, and well thought out color story and depth range. This is coming from someone who has Colourpop's Coast to Coral, Sigma's Cor de Rosa, and other coral-peachy singles.

[@carriemeadows3518]

A few people have been raving about these Essence palettes, so I don't be surprised if they are sold out already! I don't like the taupe (too grey) or blue (not my style), but the others are all appealing to me.

[@christinegreen3974]

I just picked up 4 of these! I'm having fun playing with them. Surprisingly, I really loved the green! I rarely wear greens and it was the first palette I worked with.

[@moniquevanrensburg3497]

[@sarahdoanpeace3623]

My favorite on you is the Ice Ice Baby, Blue. Simply stunning! The cool purple one looks sort of gray and silver with purple in it but that could be my eyes.

I always have to kinda giggle when you say you're into cool tones now because I remember for a long time you were like eww I hate cool tones. Lol 😉 really is crazy how much our makeup tastes can change over the years. These look amazing and I loved every one of them on you! Love how they along with companies like elf and wet n wild are showing that amazing quality can be achieved at a very affordable price and you don't need to spend $50 on eyeshadow!

[@smbarone2000]

I'm so glad you tried all of the colors. I saw them come in one by one at Meijer and purchased mauve, but the other colors are so pretty. Gray palettes are not the norm. The bronze one on you made me think of Old Hollywood siren. Green eye shadows are my favorite, too. I can't wait to try others from Essence. They have bigger palettes now that are new.
