My Experience
‘10 Best Friends’ eye shadow has a nice pastel palette. It contains two fresh summery shades, namely, lavender shade and blue shade. Although the shades have a silver shimmer in them, they are not actually visible on the eyelid. It is a perfect daytime palette, but unfortunately, the shades are not very pigmented. Although they look nice as hand swatches, they still need a lot of swipes on the lids for the true color to show up.
The shadows have a soft and smooth texture nice and even velvety-matte finish that blends easily on the eyes without any effort. They stay perfectly for around 4 hours after which they lighten. But yes it’s just appropriate for a bright sunny day. Use it to know it.
Pro tip: apply with a primer for better pigmentation
