Review: Eccentric Cosmetics

Hello Dark Siders!

I feature indie cosmetics pretty often on my blog, and I am in love with the affordability and awesome products of indie brands. So I have another brand to share with you all today: Eccentric Cosmetics. This is the first time I have tried this brand, and I have been using them quite often for the past two weeks or so. I think it is about time I share my thoughts, swatches, and looks.

This is an Australia based indie brand, just in case you were wondering :) Great for all of you who live in Australia!

Review

Firstly, I have to say I was very impressed with  the complexity of these shades. They are very interesting shades, and each has its own personality. The colors can look different depending on what colors you pair them with. These eyeshadows will never look dull, plain, or one-dimensional. That, I think, is my favorite aspect of the Eccentric Cosmetic eyeshadows. And it is a feat that is very worth mentioning. 

The eyeshadows for the most part are pigmented, and you could use them on their own without a base. I don't recommend it though. I highly advise you use a primer or some type of base to hold the shadow in place. This will prevent fallout and you will also get a better pigmentation from the eyeshadows. 

The colors I had the biggest problem with were Dreamfactory and Trickster. They were the only eyeshadows I had to work with more in order to build up the color. They also tended to blend out a little too much for my liking (as you can see in the second look from Products in Action). All the other eyeshadows were perfect though. They were pigmented, smooth, easy to blend, and had little to no fallout.

Overall, I am extremely content with all of the eyeshadows. There was a couple colors that I was not content with, but that does not change my opinion about the brand as a whole. With so many cosmetics brands out there, I am very happy to have been able to try a another fantastic indie brand!I will definitely be using these eyeshadows in my future looks! 

If there is a particular color you are interested in and you want me to make a look using it, please let me know in the comment section!
