Remember when I confessed being somewhat lazy in the eyeshadow
department ? I made my case by raving on and on about what fabulous inventions
cream eyeshadows are (no brush needed aka no blending skills needed either,
get it ?) and as much as I trust they'll always remain an essential of
mine, I do love to jazz things up from time to time when I don't have to get
ready at the crack of dawn. There are thousands of eyeshadow palettes available
out there and I could write endlessly about the many, many, (too) many
ones I own and adore, but today I'll focus on the beautiful number that is the
Dolce Vita from Charlotte Tilbury, part of her eyeshadow palette line. As you would expect, the range is truly
brilliant. There's a palette for every woman out there, whether you're a
neutral-matte or smoky-sparkly kind of girl. The Dolce Vita is a warm, rusty yet neutral toned 'gem that would magnify any eye colour. The palettes are designed in such
a way that all the hard work is already done for you; instead of having to face
a multitude of shades and struggle to make the tough call and choose, the four
shades displayed are more than enough to create a variety of different looks
and obviously work like a charm together - you cannot possibly do it
wrong. The formula is divine, pigmented enough and buildable to your liking,
the colours are vibrant and universally flattering. Admittedly, you'll have to
give yourself an extra couple of minutes to get ready as brushes are mandatory
(one brush will do, girlfriend, chill), but I can assure you it will be
worthy of your time. Applying eyeshadows has never been so easy - nor
glamorous, who could say no to such rose-gold goodness? Brace yourselves,
fellow eyeshadow-struggler, Queen Tilbury and her terribly chic palettes will
undoubtedly convert you to the art of shaping, smudging and blending in the
blink of an eye - to say the least.
