Makeup Monday Day & Night Eyeshadow palettes

I think nice smoky eye can be worn during the day and night. I got these two eyeshadow palettes couple weeks ago and had a lot of fun playing around with these colours.

First I will go thought the daytime eyeshadow palette. I fell in love with this palette's greyish blue shades and imagined how nicely I can make a day time smokey eye with this one. I have used the palette now for couple of occasions and I have to say I'm a little bit disappointed. The eye shadows have quite good pigmentation, but overall I would have needed one properly matte light shade to the palette in order to finish my look.

My favourite eye shadow shades are Midnight blue (5) and Shimmer Purple (8) as they were well pigmented and have this nice metallic shimmer in them. The most disappointed I was about the light blue colours which didn't have too much pigment and I hoped them to be more ashy greyish shades. Also I felt that I needed more matte colours as all of the eye shadows had some amount of shimmer or even a metallic finish on them.

I was more pleased with the night time eyeshadow palette as the overall palette had better combination of shades and the colours were very pigmented! The palette consisted of two greyish matte shades (1 & 7) and one black matte shade (5). Also it had great variety of shimmer and metallic shades! I loved that the palette had matte black and shimmer black as they are so versatile. I totally fell in love with dark metallic brown (8) and metallic cream (3) shades.

Overall I was pretty pleased with the palettes, they were pretty pigmented, the colours were nice and it was okay to apply. The texture wasn't the best as the colour was very powdery like.

Do you love smoky eyes or are you more of a 'clean' look girl?
