NYX Single eyeshadow in Flamingo

I've always felt that NYX single eye shadows were quite comparable to the MAC ones at just a fraction of the cost. If you love pigmented eye shadows, these are a very great option to consider.They are very easy to blend and the staying power is just amazing.

NYX has a whole ton of single eyeshadow shades to choose from.Flamingo, is something I liked a lot but sadly, it does not show up so well on me.




Flamingo has a sheer metallic finish. I would describe the shade as a light golden-purple. The pigmentation is amazing, just that this color was a little too light for me. It would look great on darker skin tones. For a subtle look, this can be worn all over the lid or paired with a darker eye shadow.Great for the no-makeup look when paired with just some eyeliner and mascara.

Here's a swatch.

That said, I still love the shade and the quality.Can't beat the price either!It's a very unique shade.Something that I've not seen else where.

Priced at $5.50, these are available at Ulta and online at cherryculture.com.

Have you tried flamingo? Do you love NYX eye shadows? Are there any great shades you recommend I try? I'd love to know about it!

  3. @socialiedreams - it's quite similar to Trax,but then, I felt Trax was a bit more deeper and showed up better than this one!

  5. Even at Ulta they're less than even half of what we pay for MAC so I'm not really complaining! :P
