As I scanned through fashion magazines, my eyes were drawn in the beauty of the models’ eyes. Beauty was not only peripheral in this case, I found myself mesmerized by rich colors, shades and tones…

So the hunt for the best eyeshadows began… and as a result, I came to a conclusion that there are actually 6 Eyeshadows that are truly the best:

1. Dior 5-Color EyeShadow Compact

Expert’s opinion:

“So, I have to admit though that I love the stuff! This is some nice shadow. Very silky and super high pigment, even in the very light shades.”

– says Careenp, Beauty and Fashion Tech

What It Is: It’s a palette of five rich powder eyeshadow colors, 18 various shades are available.

What It Does: It allows you to be a master makeup artist and create multitude makeup looks – from the simplest look to the most sophisticated look – depending on your mood.

Product Description: A seductive palette of five rich and versatile colors that allows you to create a multiple of make-up looks, from the simplest to the most sophisticated.

My Comments: Best Splurge Shadow ever!  Posh to the extreme, Christian Dior’s bold powder shadows are rich, silky and made with intense pigments, they will seem to last forever. Value for your money, it’s like wearing velvet on your eye. My favorite palette for winter: Secret Charm.  I am sure you will find yours too among those fabulous 18 shades!

Average Price: You can order this beautiful baby at dior.com for $53.50. Yes, it’s a bit stiff, but a little goes a long way, so it’s well worth the price!

2. Silky Eyeshadow Duo by Chanel

Expert’s opinion:

“I will say though that those with very light skin tones, CHANEL Irreelle Duo- Silky Eye Shadow- River-Light may work wonders. I also believe that these colors would show up quite well on women of color.”

- says Melanie Dee, Assosciated Content

What It Is: As per my friend Kittycat, who is a self-confessed makeup junkie, this is the best powder eyeshadow ever!

What It Does: Allows for a smoother application and long-lasting wear.

Product Description: Silky powder shadow combos in runway shades, from pearls to mattes, are quilted in the fashion of Chanel. Colours go on ultra-smoothly, stay put for hours without creasing. Two applicators make short work of lining and shading lids. Apply dry for subtle shadowing or slightly moistened for a more defined look.

My Comments: I love Chanel products in general (though I can’t afford everything), but thankfully, this particular one, I can. My friend showed me her collection of Chanel Silky Eyeshadow Duo and I must agree with her, it does look yummy. I tried the Desert Rose and I think it’s the Best Everyday Shadow. Use your own professional shadow brush though for more control and better application.

Average Price: This can be bought at chanel.com for $40.

3. Paint Pot by MAC

Expert’s opinion:

“One of my favorite components to my daily beauty routine is the MAC Paint Pot. The product can be used either for color or for priming the eyelids before application of eyeshadow; I use it most often for the second instance, and it works wonders.”

- says Amber, the beauty bunny

What It Is: Paint Pot is a cream eyeshadow in dozens of fabulous colors.

What It Does: It allows you for easier blending and adds more depth to your eye.

Product Description: A highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to an intense, vibrant finish. The next generation of a popular M·A·C formula, Paint Pots maintains all the intense traits of its inspiration. Long-wearing, colourfast. Creates seamless coverage without weight or caking. Blends smoothly over the lids. Cream-based, can be mixed with M·A·C shadows and liners. Available in matte and pearl formulas.

My Comments: MAC is in their third collection of Paint Pot and I love them even more. All in all, MAC has improved the formulas over the past months making their newer releases even creamier and has better staying power. Use the shimmery ones to give a beautiful pop of color and add fabulosity to your eye makeup. Also, a little secret… the nude beige color matches the skin tone perfectly, so you can also use this as a concealer.

Average Price: This can be bought at nordstrom.com for only $16.50.
