Essence Zinc About You, Lead Me Melted Chrome Eyeshadow | Review

Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatches of the Essence Melted Chrome Eyeshadow in the shades Zinc About You (01) and Lead Me (05).

As far as I know, these eyeshadows are both new releases and there are four more shades available.

I never buy single shadows, I much prefer palettes, but these swatched beautifully and the price is so good I wanted to try them.

I tent to be the biggest snob when it comes to eyeshadows and I rarely like affordable ones, it’s one of the few things I always splurge on because I think the performance is usually better, colours are usually brighter and the formula is almost always better but for the sake of research I decided to branch out for once.

You can get them here for about 4$

Zinc About You (01)

COLOUR

This is a beautiful rose gold. It looks bright and it’s natural enough for every day.

PACKAGING

The packaging is very cheap. It’s quite sturdy but not pretty whatsoever.

I also hate that they come as single shadows, although it is convenient for the price, I never end up using them because I tent to reach for my palettes way more.

FORMULA

The texture of this shadow is super unique: it’s kind of moussy and squishy, so I find that it works better applied with your fingers.

Once you put it on you can blend the edges with a brush easily, overall it’s a product very easy to use.

PIGMENTATION

This shade has quite an intense pigmentation and it’s very shimmery.

It meshes perfectly with your skin and other colours and it gives the most beautiful wet reflex.

SWATCH

LASTING POWER

I never use eyeshadow without primer that being said it lasts 6 hours without creasing and then it starts fading.

RATINGS:

• Colour: 10/10
• Longevity: 8/10
• Application: 9/10
• Texture: 9/10
• Pigmentation: 10/10
• Packaging: 6/10

GRADE: B+

This eyeshadow is stunning. The colour is super unique. It’s insanely easy to use, super blinding and long-lasting. It’s perfect from day to night. If you are looking for something quick to use daily you’ll love it. For that price, I can’t recommend it enough despite the fact I don’t like that it is a single pan.

LEAD ME (05)

COLOUR

This is light silver with a slightly green undertone. It looks bright and it’s natural enough for every day.
