Review & looks | e.l.f. Geometric 96 Piece Eyeshadow Palette

The online budget brand e.l.f. regularly adds new products to its make-up range, and today I am showing you one of the newest additions to the e.l.f. Studio line: the e.l.f. Geometric 96 Piece Eyeshadow Palette. The palette contains 96 colors, and with its geometrical pattern it looks really cool. Big gimme-gimme-gimme factor if you ask me!

Just look at how awesome it looks! Like I said, there are 96 eyeshadow colors in the new e.l.f. Geometric 96 Piece Eyeshadow Palette, and they all have a matte or slightly shimmery finish. The texture of the eyeshadow is fine and soft and the pigmentation is okay. Just make sure to really get in the powder with your brush and to pack it on your eyelid, and then you will definitely get the color intensity you want and you will be able to create super fun looks with the palette. I also get the impression that the color becomes more intense once the top layer of the eyeshadow comes off. So the more you use the colors, the more intense they will get. The wear of the eyeshadow is fine and with a good primer the colors keep their intensity all day long without fading or creasing.

Don’t let the size of the palette or the fact that there are 96 colors to choose from intimidate you, because even though the colors seem to be put in the palette at random, there is actually a system. The 96 shades are divided in 16 squares that all hold 6 colors. And those 6 colors always go perfectly together.  When you look closely you will see that there is for example a square with chocolatey shades, one with blues and greens, one with pink and purple shades, and so on. Now of course you can just combine whatever colors you want from the palette – there are no rules in make-up – but if you don’t know how to combine shades then you can just rely on the square system.

I am nowhere near done playing with my new e.l.f. Geometric 96 Piece Eyeshadow Palette, but I already want to show you five eye looks that I created with it, including swatches. Let’s have a look together!

IsaDora All Day Long Lash Mascara

A mascara for extra long and perfectly defined lashes, and this all day long without smudging or flaking. The precision elastomer brush coats every eyelash with a protective humidity resistant layer. The special formula is easy to remove and lukewarm water is enough to take the mascara off. What a relief, especially for someone like me who usually needs four cotton pads and half a bottle of make-up remover to remove all her mascara before bed time. Retail price: 18.90 CHF at Douglas.

IsaDora Under Cover Face Primer

A face primer that fills in fine lines and pores, and makes the skin nice and smooth so that your make-up will stay in place all day long without wearing off, smudging, getting shiny or setting into pores. It also hides imperfections, redness, dark spots and puffiness and it moisturizes the skin. And the icing on the cake? The anti-aging effect of the primer. Yep, I think we have a winner! Retail price: 29.90 CHF at Douglas.


IsaDora Gel Eyeliner in Dark Brown

A waterproof gel eyeliner in a gorgeous dark brown shade with a built-in eyeliner brush. The formula is soft and deliciously creamy and the color is very pigmented. I always have difficulties drawing the perfect eyeliner wing in one fluent movement, but the lovely creamy texture of this gel eyeliner makes it a lot easier. Retail price: 17.90 CHF at Douglas.
