My Experience with Catrice Cosmetics Instant Glam Eyeshadow Palette 010 It’s A Match:

The palette comes in a plastic case with a transparent cap. The product is unsealed and has a lot of information on the back of the case. The cap closes with a click and due to its sleek package, the product is travel-friendly. The cap is a little difficult to open and you need to be careful with your nails.

One of the main things that attracted me to this eye shadow is the concept of duo eye shadow. There are 8 shades divided into 4 divisions. The dark and light eye shadows are clubbed together. There is a big petal shaped eye shadow applicator that can be used to apply on the eyes. The sponge applicator is pretty big and picks up the eye shadow effectively. I like the eye shadow applicator as it is pretty big and with just one sweep, you can pick the product. The application is easy where you need to take the shadows with sponge applicator, and then swipe onto the lid. You can use both the colors together or use them separately. The dark shades stays close to the lash and the lighter on the top.

The colors have a metallic finish. They are very soft and have a powdery cream texture. There is very little fall out when being used. The shades are pretty pigmented and with just one sweep, it imparts the color on the lids.

Combination 1: This combination is a cream and orangey brown.
Combination 2: The combination consists of grey and silver grey.
Combination 3: This combination consists of mauve beige and lighter shade of the same.
Combination 4: This combination is the brightest and is a combination of dark pink-purple and a light one.

The product does blends very well and stays on the lids for around 5 hours. The product stays even on oily lids.

Coming to the application, even though it sounds so easy, when trying it out, it isn’t as easy as mentioned. Once you sweep the product and apply on the eyes, it doesn’t provide an even application. At the inner corner there is more product than the outer lid. Also, if it gets over in the middle, reapplication is again a hassle. Even though I love the product and the idea behind it, the product kind of fails and I use it individually. So summing up
