If you are familiar with the MUA brand then you'll recognize their trademark
black and transparent packaging, which makes light work of spotting the shade housed inside.
Okay it is not the most daring nor is it the most pretty but it is far from ugly.
When evaluating the packaging I do think it is only fair to mention that the product cost £1
and considering the price point it could be so much worse.
MUA Shade 7 is a deep metallic forest green shade not to dissimilar to Mac's Humid shade.
The green shade is a true green and does not reflect blue/aqua
however in some lights it does have a slight silver sheen.
Shade 7 works really well blended in with deep shades to make a smokey eye pop!
A negative point I do have to mention is that I have noticed that the individual shades shatter very easily,
this is a combination and fault of the packaging and the formula.
The formula of the individual eyeshadows are softer than those I have encountered in the MUA palettes.
This shadow is butter soft to touch, it feels smooth although shade 30 has a metallic and glitter finish
it has no gritty or rough texture what so ever.
The super soft formula makes light work for blending and application
but it does not fair well if you have a heavy hand or drop the pan.
Again yes the eyeshadow only costs a £1 but if you continuously break them it is still money wasted!
I did find this shade had a substitutional level of fall out, which I find annoying!
The pigmentation of Shade 7 is by far more superior than any of the shades housed in the MUA Palettes.
One little swipe is all it took for my swatches and I still had plenty of product left over to do another.
For the price point I honestly do believe you will be hard pushed to find anything to rival it.
I tried this shade today without any primer and managed around 5 hours before the shade melted
and succumbed to my oily lids, I do feel this would survive 8hours + with the use of a base.

ReplyDeleteI recently purchased a MUA eyeshadow compact with three different shades, I use it daily and unlike the single eyeshadows the packaging is much better and it has stayed intact for quite a while now. I think it was about £1.50, definitely a good buy.
