 SUGAR Cosmetics Blend The Rules Eyeshadow Quad - 07 Applause- Review, Swatch


I am on a SUGAR cosmetics roll these days and my Instagram feed is a proof of that (Follow me HERE to check the posts). I had already ranted about how I didn’t own any eyeshadow palette except three (Sivanna MakeupPro, Sleek Au Naturel and Sleek Arabian Nights), but every rant has to end someday :P So recently, I gifted myself two eye shadow palettes: One 24-pan palette from Makeup Revolution (Review to be up later) and one beautiful quad from the Blend The Rules range of eye shadows of Sugar Cosmetics. Why I ended up choosing shade 07 Applause and how it did fare on my pigmented lids? Read on to find out J

Brand Says:
Unleash your inner artist and create a makeup masterpiece every day with the SUGAR Blend The Rules Eyeshadow Quads. With a range of 17 high-performing mattes and extra-creamy metallics, these super-pigmented shades are infinitely smooth and incredibly easy to blend. Snap up these jaw-dropping hues in 18 captivating quads that come with a dual-ended sponge applicator. But wait, did we bring up its uber-chic packaging yet? This gorgeous tray of colours is built to dethrone the current pride of your vanity display. Talk about eye candy!

Nail it at work with Applause - its roster of beige mauve, deep plum, metallic rose gold and medium brown works hard to help you achieve that classic neutral look.

How To Apply
·         Start by taking a colour that is a shade or two darker than your skin tone and run it back and forth onto your crease as a transition shade
·         Start blending at the point where you want the deepest colour, like the outer corner and aim toward the place where you want the lightest colour.  By doing this, a gradient will be created by the colour choice alone
·         Next go for the shimmer shade on the lid to get that pop. Use the doe-tip sponge applicator or a damp flat brush or your finger for that additional depth
·         Use a darker shade on the crease to define the eye shape. Start applying from the outer corner of the eye, making a ‘V’, and blend it halfway through the eyelid with the round eyeshadow blending brush”

My Experience:
I like to remain in comfort zone when it comes to choosing eyeshadow shades. I rarely reach out for bright blues, pinks or greens. My safest bets are browns, bronzes, deep purples, beiges and muted golds. Recently, my interest is drifting towards earthy plums, rusts, rose golds etc kind of shades. The shade “07 Applause” from the Blend The Rules Eyeshadow seemed like a natural pick amidst all the other quads mainly because the shade selection in this quad is exactly the kind of colors I have been loving these days.


There are the following shades in 07 APPLAUSE:
·        Flesh-toned matte beige (pink tones in beige)- A Perfect transition color
·        An earthy matte plum- Perfect for crease and outer V of the upper lid
·        A cool toned matte brown- Perfect for crease and lining the lower lashline or softening khols as well.
·        A gorgeous metallic Rose Gold- A true rose gold with brilliant sheen.

All the shades are insanely pigmented, are buttery soft and blends like a dream! Most palettes I have used till now have at least one shade which is chalky with disappointing pigmentation, but this palette has just made me go gaga. All the shades are so intense, blendable and that too without any primer underneath!
The three matte shades can be used for daily make-up looks and the rose gold shade can be used for glam up any party makeup look or if used sparingly, it can be used to create soft daytime glam looks too. I can see myself reaching out for this palette for my daily makeup more than any other palette. The quality of the shadows is even more buttery than my all-time favourite palette by Sleek Makeup (Au-Naturel palette. Read review HERE)

Overall, I am in love with this palette because of its quality and the fact that the chosen shades in this number (07 Applause) would suit beauties of all skin tones.

My mobile phone camera totally couldn't capture the gorgeous shades on my eyes :( And also I have having a bad eyeliner day (I just couldn't draw a straight line)
