My beauty pick of the week: Maybelline New York The Burgundy Bar eyeshadow palette

26th April, 2018

Luxe, rich shades in one convenient location? Did I also mention that it’s available at a reasonable price point? Here area few more reasons why I am currently loving Maybelline New York’s The Burgundy Bar.

Maybelline New York The Burgundy Bar, $26.95

I am obsessed with burgundy eye shadow at the moment. I’ve always loved experimenting with darker shades (think browns and taupes) to achieve a classic smoky eye but I’ve recently branched out into burgundy tones. Given it’s new territory for me it was great to be able to work with such a comprehensive palette as I was able to mix and match to achieve just the right effect. There are 12 colours in total so I think it’s virtually impossible not to find the right colour combination to suit your complexion.

Compared to similar palettes, the price point of this product is also super affordable so it’s not a huge commitment if you’ve not really worn shades in this colour family before. There’s a bit more freedom to be able to trial it and see how it looks without worrying too much that you’ve spent a fortune on it.

As we head into winter I’ll be wearing a lot more richer eyeshadow shades to freshen up my beauty look. I have found that it really makes a statement without being too over the top and is a great alternative to the earthier colours I’ve worn in the past. This particular palette also has great staying power so I’m not constantly having to do touch ups. Perfect for those busy on-the-go days.
