Update on the Marc Jacobs- the siren palette:
i'm really enjoying this palette. The colors are very pigmented and are easy to use as they aren't bright. I have used some under the lower lashes or just in outer corner for pops of color. they stay on all day and I didn't need to use a primer under them. I'm a matte girl and I do not find them overly shimmery at all.
At first I wasn't liking it because I expected a better quality shadow from him but to be honest when I thought about the price for 7 shadows compared to MAC it is a very good deal. MAC would charge $70 for just the shadows or 2 quads at $40/$44 each so it is a good deal. I wouldn't compare them to chanel or Dior but for a high end shadow they really are holding their pigment throughout the day and if you really blend the red out it's the prettiest hot pink. I actually have been using that in the outer corner. Surprisingly... it looks super pretty. It's helping me use a lot of neutral palettes that I became bored of. I have tried to dupe them and I do not have quality matches, so for someone like me who doesn't have a lot of color shadows it is a good investment. I'd definitely check it out.
... just a thought
