I own a couple of their shadows and they are hit and miss. Some of the lighter colors are obviously not as pigmented, but the darker ones are pretty good, especially with a good primer/base.
One eyeshadow palette I really like is their blue one called Blue Petrol.
Its texture is silky and soft. It does "clump" up a little on your brush so your best bet is to pack it on, and it works really well.
Well if you can believe it I'm 25 and only started to wear makeup about 2 years ago. So I've been watching a lot of YouTube tutorials and found some really useful ones. One youtuber who I really like is Xteeener as she uses a lot of drugstore brands and is Asian so our eye shapes are really similar.
To dedicate to her, I've made this EOTD using her tutorial, albeit some different products, and the results were nothing less than amazing to me.
Xteeener suggests using Revlon's Illuminance Creme Shadows as a base, which is great as it comes in all sorts of color combination palettes and are relatively wallet-friendly.
For this EOTD, I used the dark grey-silver color on the right in the "Twilight" palette.
Apply the cream shadow all over your lid just past your crease. The higher you go up, the more dramatic it will be, so adjust to your own taste.
Using a dense, medium eyeshadow brush, pack on the medium shade from the Joe Fresh palette to the inner corner of your lid and to about 3/4 of your lid, leaving the last 1/4 free.
Pack on the shadow for more intense, vibrant color!
Take a fluffy crease/blending brush with a tapered end, dab the darkest color from the Joe Fresh palette to the outer corner of your eye, and drag and blend into the crease. Darken the outer corner more to contour the eye shape.
Next, take a dark navy eyeliner and line your lower lashes up to around where your iris is when looking straight. Also line your upper lashes.
Take some more of the dark shadow on a small precision/liner brush and just go over your liner to set it.
Then sweep the lightest shade to your lower tear duct area and the corner V around it. Blend it up to the lid shades.
All done!

Hi! Just wanted to thank you for the tutorial. I am Asian too, and have a similar shaped eyes as you. And I never knew how to get the outer corner right. So I'll be trying your tricks today :O)
One thing I want to mention is that I wanted to leave a comment on your blog entries, but the comment section asks me to enter "word verification", and the text box for the "word verification" is blocked by some type of advertisement. This has happened on both computers I use (MAC and PC both), and they each have different resolutions. If you want to check out this technical error, that will help others leave comments in the future :O)
Thank you! And again, loved the tutorial! I watch Xteeener on YouTube too, hehe :O)
Sincerely,
Triston
