The Mellow Baked Eyeshadow in Gold is a beautiful wee product, and I ended up loving it! It comes as a single colour in a cute wee flip-top pot, and is a baked shadow. First thing to mention - this colour is STUNNING! A very pretty, shimmery, light gold that isn't nearly as overwhelming or intense as other golds I've tried. On the skin it provides a subtle but super pretty shimmer, and looks extra lovely over a light brown tone. It lasts well all day.
As a side note, I also LOVE that this company values avoiding parabens and including mineral powders! So great.
I was fortunate to receive one of these in the recent Beauty review vault. I am a huge fan of Mellow Cosmetics, one is because they are made here in New Zealand, the second reason is they are very affordable and the third they have a wide selection of products. So I couldn't pass up this opportunity in adding another of their baked eye shadows to the collection.
This one is in Gold, it has a yellow tone to it and it is very shimmery, the pigmentation in this one isn't as pigmented as the rest of the range and I find I have to swipe a good amount of product onto my eye shadow brush to get a decent amount of color. It gives a subtle but goddess look to your eyelids, You could use this as a golden highlight if you like.
The wear time is all day, there is no creasing or fading with this eye shadow, which is an added bonus.
I am slightly disappointed in the pigmentation of this one but it hasn't stopped me from wanting to purchase more of their collection.
Tips: I like to add this under my eyes for a subtle pop to my eyes, add this with a light eyeliner to your waterline and POW it makes a big difference in your eyes!
