Today’s product review is on Covergirl Blast Eye Enhancers eyeshadows, the new line of shadows with a rainbow of bold, vibrant colors. They come in matte, pearl and sparkle finishes and are divided into two shade groups: the Enhance shades and Blast shades. The Enhance shades deliver a more delicate look, while the Blast shades are made to stand out. The collection comes in singles, trios and quads and are fairly priced under $5 (give or take a few $$ depending in where you purchase them).
Ally and I spotted these colors on one of our shopping outings a few weeks ago and we both decided to try Melt-Down Mauve first, a pearly shade from the Blast group (we chose this one because both of us have green
eyes and any colors in the red family will enhance and bring out the green). After trying this one out and loving it, I went out and bought more, all from the blast group. Here’s what I think:
Melt-Down Mauve: This color his one of my very favorites. It can be worn subtly or dramatic, depending on how much you apply. The finish comes to a beautiful pearl-matte. I applied it from the lash line to just below the brow, where I used a pearl white shadow, and then blended them together where the two colors meet. On a different day I tried a light, soft beige with it and decided it looks much better with the white. It looks amazing with smudged brown liner. As mentioned above, this color is great to make green eyes pop. On a scale of 1-5, Melt-Down Mauve receives a 5.
Knock-Out Pink: This is color is very pretty in the container, but comes out very light, even when applied heavily. I think it would show up nicely on medium complexions as a subtle look, or it could be used as a Enhancer shade under a another color or on the brow bone. On a scale of 1-5: Knock-Out Pink receives a 2.
Purple Pop:I love, love, love Purple Pop! It’s a deep violet purple that comes to a smooth, pearl-matte finish. It is not to be worn too subtlty; it gives intense color right away. I applied it from the lash line to just below the brow, where I used a matte white, and then blended them together where they meet. I used a soft black pencil liner with it, drawing it out in a cat-eye effect. I had lots of people commenting on it all day. On a scale of 1-5, Purple Pop receives a 5.
Golden Sunrise: This shade is a sparkle finish that goes on heavily and did not look good as an all-over lid color on my fair skin. It came out an orange-brown which made me look a bit washed out. I think it could look better if worn on darker–maybe olive–skin, applied lightly as an Enhancer shade. It could also be worn as an accent on the inner corner of the eyes. On a scale of 1-5, Golden Sunrise receives a 1.
