A Closer Look At The BYS 8 Neutral Matte Eyeshadow Palette: Review + Swatches

As if I haven't made enough mentions about this product on my blog. Ha ha. Let's just say that if I adore a product, I will just keep bringing it up anyway. This one's on my July 2016 faves. I got this when I purchased the curated Matte Maven Box at Glamourbox last April-ish.

Shades Description

So if, you've seen this on BYS kiosks and you want to have closer look but unfortunately there aren't any testers, I'll gladly share the palette with you through this photo. :) There are 8 shades of it, all neutral. 

Shade 1 may look like light grey on the photo but is actually on the brown side in person. If grey and brown had a kid, this would be it.

Shade 2 seems too orange on the pan but when swatched isn't really scary and is just maybe tan actually (check swatches below).

Shade 3 is yellow, perfect for highlighting the brow bone and tone-correcting.

Shade 4 is light brown.

Shade 5 is grey, sometimes I use it as an eyeliner.

Shade 6 is the darkest brown in the bunch, chocolate brown and I love using it on the brows.

Shade 7 is also brown, just darker than shade 4 and I use it on the crease.

Shade 8 looks too white on the photo but in person it also leans on the brown side: imagine milk blended with a few drops of chocolate. Like Shade 3 it can also be used to define the brow bone but I usually dust this all over the lids before applying the dark colors just to take away the shine.

Eight neutral tones that range from light to dark brown, greys to tone-correcting yellow. All matte.

Basic to Versatile, Day to Night

The colors in this palette are very office-friendly. But the same grey, brown and taupe shades when layered and blended to perfection can give the smokey look which is perfect for night outs.

The powder can be chalky and I have experienced minimal to no fall-outs while applying this. Performance-wise, if you want this to last longer on your eyelids, you would need an eye-primer.

I think I have emphasized enough how much I love this palette. It works great and is inexpensive. Plus the pans are generously sized. I just wish that this one came with a sturdier package because this one would certainly shatter come a dropping incident. Well anyway, for the price, I think I may not complain. I just need to be careful and try to never ever drop this.Ha ha.
