Novo Eyeshadow

by Ichi Pestano - December 27, 2020

Counting the days til we say goodbye to 2020. I'm still on the fence about writing a Year in Review post to be honest, so while I'm still trying to put myself in the mood for some "from the heart" writing (or maybe not at all), let me throw another makeup review. 😉

At first, I was hesitant to try the Chinese brands on Shopee and Lazada but I saw some good reviews about most of them and I figured I won't be using them so much anyway. Also, I only needed this chunky glittery eyeshadow for the Rose Gold makeup I did in May and this one from Novo was exactly what I was looking for. I also threw in this palette because it's only 159 php.

I didn't expect much but surprisingly, the quality is pretty good. The palette itself is compact and the colors are nicely combined. This one is composed of purple and pinks but there's also pink browns as transition shades.

The matte ones are not powdery at all but they are also not buttery and highly pigmented. They are still nice though for the crease and outer corner.

The shimmers/metallic and glitter on the other hand are so pretty and surprisingly good. They look so beautiful on the lids and except for the last shade to the right, they are so wearable even for a simple eye makeup.

My favorite shades are the 3rd, 4th and 8th from the left.

Next is the chunky glitter which only costs 99 php per pan.

I only planned to use this on the lids but I thought it would be so pretty to use as highlighter (as seen on my Crystal Maiden makeup video).

The only watch-out is when applying, don't drag it too hard because the particles seem to be sharp and you don't want to scratch your skin.

It looks like a typical glittery eyeshadow but up close, you'll see the chunky pieces.

By the way, this comes in many colors. This is shade #06 (pink and gold). There's also a variant with little heart and stars cutouts. It's for a more creative/festive looks you can try.

Since I've already shown you how to use it for glam, here's a simpler and more wearable eye makeup you could try with the palette.

I'm actually thinking of another creative makeup for another Dota2 character and I would need new sparkly colors. Maybe I'll try a different brand on Shopee/Lazada. Any suggestion?
