As an eyeshadow palette addict, I rarely invest in single shadows as they hardly feel worth buying considering the countless collection I have stashed away at home. When I do make the investment in a single shade, it must be something special for my attention to be captured. I recently stumbled across this individual shadow whilst perusing the Rimmel display, it immediately tugged at my purse strings and I am excited to share this with you all.
This singlet shadow is in the shade 030 ‘Smokey Quartz’ from the Rimmel Glam Eyes Mono Eye Shadow collection and is priced at a purse friendly £4.49. The formulation does not disappoint and is surprisingly impressive for the price. Although the colour payoff is not as opaque or as creamy as a high-end shadow; it is soft, silky and can create an intense blendable wash of colour.
I love the packaging of this single shade as it is in a sleek black case and the shadow itself is embellished in a quilted patten with the signature Rimmel crescent lying in the centre. I definitely believe that Rimmel London have upped the ante with their packaging since redesigning the mono palettes, these shadows now look sophisticated and far more expensive than they truly are.
The aspect that initially caught my eye was undoubtedly the shade. Smokey Quartz is a stunning shimmer that is a cross between a rose gold and taupe. It has a pink-gold hue to it but with slight grey and mauve undertones that creates a darker, smokey finish. This looks gorgeous simply used by itself over the entire lid and blended out for a quick smokey eye.
The shade is somewhat reminiscent of the coveted By Terry Shadow Stick in Misty Rock, although not a complete dupe, for less than a fiver it definitely makes an affordable and closely related substitue.
I have loved using this shadow recently and I am excited to try more from the range. I would love to hear what you think as well as your current favourite eyeshadow shades.
