Revlon Custom Eyeshadow & Liner Duo Review & Swatches
Revlon smokey sexy blue is an ideal palette for smokey eye look lovers.All the colours in this palette are nicely pigmented and pretty much wearable.
- Easily create and customize the eye look you want with 4 shadows and 1 liner. For dramatic eye popping looks like never before!
- Price INR 625
There are five eyeshadow in the palette although Revlon says that each palette has four eyeshadow and one eyeliner but I find no differentiation in five of them
- Packaging - Its a sleek palette which has a side open trendy flap.These are travel friendly with a sponge applicator.One side of the applicator has a usual brush and on the opposite side is a thin eyeliner sponge brush.I rarely like any sponge applicator which comes in the palettes but this one is sturdy and it makes the eyeshadow application pretty easy.
What I loved most is the print over the eyeshadow.I wish the print could stay intact but it gets dissolved right after first usage.
Shades
L to R)
- Periwinkle Blue- It is light silverish blue colour which is nicely pigmented.I like to use it on the inner corner of my eyes.
- Royal Blue - This is the most pigmented colour which give definition to many of the eye makeup look which i tried.It is matte and highly smooth.
- White Highlighter-This highlighter has slight shimmer in it but it has lot of fall too.
- Grayish blue -This blue shade needs to be build up and has slight shimmer in it.
- Smokey black – Its like a regular smokey black which can be built up.One has to be carefull with it as it tends to look muddy sometimewhen other shades are mixed up
Swatches of Revlon Smokey Sexy Custom Eyeshadow & liner duo
In different lighting
I tried a simple smokey eye look today by using all the five shades .White highlighter is powdery but it goes well with the smokey look.
What is most interesting about the palette is that it is best to be used with the sponge applicator or fingers.When I use soft brush, shades gets mixed up and look muddy .For example -when I applied silverish blue in the inner corner with the help of a brush it didn’t come up nicely and when I used the sponge applicator it gave me the desired look.I experienced the same case with the greyish blue eyeshadow which I applied in the middle of the eyelid.
What I liked about Revlon Smokey Sexy Custom eyeshadow & liner duo
- I like the shades, packaging,eyeshadow print and price too as I got five eyeshadow in one palette.
- Available in many shades
- Easily available
- All colour of the eyeshadow is pretty much wearable
- Its very very smooth in application
What I do not like about Revlon Smokey sexy custom eyeshadow palette
- Pigmentation of few shades needs to be built up.
- Its travel friendly but there is no attached inbuilt mirror in it
- Will I recommend it to others- Yes,must have for blue lovers and smokey eye look lover shouldn’t skip it
- Wise She Rating – 4/5

Thanks Priyanka
One of the best smokey eyes i’ve seen in a long time…
I luv the royal blue and grayish blue shades..they luk so pretty and the density is so gud..
The sponge brush actually works well?? cool ya..i never thought i’d see one which does its work…I too dont prefer using them…but this is really awesome!
oh thats a great compliment Zara..i also love royal blue..i like to pair it with the highlighter and wear it with my purple top
actually the sponge applicator works better in the sense that soft brushes makes the colour look muddy.
i luv the royal blue shade..i want sheets in this color!!
i am not that fond of revlon eyeshadows but this time they made me fall for them..they were always expensive when compared with other drug store eyeshadows but this time they nailed it
i agree…5 awesome shades for 625 is a steal!
and best part is revlon has come up with 6 eye shadow palettes..so one can choose which ever they like
hehe..u must have gone crazy after seeing all of them..i can imagine u walking out with all 6 stcked under ur arm..all in a hurry t get back home and start admiring them
yaa i kept looking at them and then placed it in front of my almirah ..and every time i went to that corner i picked up swatched it and then kept it back ..lolz
Haha! I do the same thing…i keep taking them out and swatching and admiring..sometimes i worry that ill finish the product by swatching only!!
dittoo…lolz..this happens with every thing .be it blush , lippi ..we and our tester swatching mind
once i was sawtching my concealer palette..kaps asked me r u taking pics in the night today..i said no i m just swatching
Haha! he must be thinking uv gone cuckoo!
Amazing blending Anks – no harsh lines, it all just flows beautifully. I honestly didn’t like this palette too much, coz I’m not a big fan of blue eyeshadows.. But it looks very nice on your brown eyes..
Btw – on your lashes & under eye area, there is some shimmer. Have you applied some eyeshadow on the lower lash line or Is that the fall out from the highlighter?

Tanz this palette is only and only for those who like blues otherwise it will lay as a showpiece with its print
and that fall from the highlighter which i noticed post clicking of pictures 
but its not that bad also..i was trying build up the shade too much.
actually Tanz i am guilty but i bought them all
WAit..did you just say you bought ALL the 5 palettes !!!! :bangbang: :bangbang:
Mitra some how u always land up reading exactly what u want to read
well 6 of them and not 5
ek kam mat karo 
No its 6..abhi toh you need to be :flush: :flush:
Wow Anks! You are my role model!! I will also get that Metallic Chic one today itself & increase my tally upto 3 for this!! :clap-n-jump:

WOW…this is the best smokey i have come across..i try to do a smpkey and all the colours get mixed up. Anu do a tute as to ‘how not to make a smokey look burnt’
Blending
Colours
Over all
Mitra simpletrick is not to mic the colour and stay in the defined imagined border..
and how is yur health today..and i can see u r drinking too much above…u going for harry potter this weekend??
I doubt if i’l go this weekend…me got slight fever also now..but will have to go to work..cant take more than 2 days chutti during notice period na
oye notice period..u got selected ..u didnt even tell me
i do try that, but i go over board with the ‘bkending’ i blend them soo well that you can hardly tell the colours used !!
yaa because we dont want to look like a fantasy queen ..so it is better to blend and blend..initially when i blended the royal blue shade it was not even apparent so i top more of it..but then didnt blend it much because i wanted it to show..
i Love blue…. and its just a perfect blend
kudos
I hope one day I get that look
