Recently, I was searching for some new eyeshadow palettes to try since I love eyeshadow palettes. Eyeshadow palettes have become my favorite makeup product for about the last year and a half, so when I buy makeup lately, this is usually what I buy unless I need something for a video I am making.

Hunting for some new mineral eyeshadow palettes made in the U.S. led me to look at less popular or less well-known brands: brands that are not all over YouTube or talked about heavily by beauty bloggers. I only found about a handful of brands that fit the bill; Mary Kay was one of the few that I found. Fortunately, I have a friend who works as a Mary Kay consultant, so I reached out to her and she kindly sent me several Mary Kay eyeshadow palettes to try out. I plan to review and swatch all of the palettes that she sent me, but the first palette that I want to review is the Mary Kay City Sophisticate Eye Color Eyeshadow Palette. I will review this palette here today.

I chose the Mary Kay City Sophisticate Eye Color Eyeshadow Palette to start with because I absolutely love purple eyeshadows. This palette also has a brown bronze shade that I love that is great for everyday wear, so I thought many of you would like it 😃.

Swatches

I swatched all of the eyeshadow shades, with and without eye primer. These eyeshadows are quite pigmented without eye primer, but the purple shade definitely should not be used without eye primer because it is not as colorful as the other shades on its own. As expected though, all of the eyeshadows were much more vibrant with an eye primer, so I definitely recommend using a primer with these eyeshadows.

These eyeshadows are quite nice! They performed very well, so Mary Kay eyeshadows are quite underrated in my opinion! I really like the colors and the pigmentation. These eyeshadows did not bother my eyes either and were very comfortable to wear.

When I wore these eyeshadows without eye primer, they lasted on my eyes for hours as I ran errands. Here is how each eyeshadow looked on my eyes with eye primer:

The Middle Pink Shade

The Brown Bronze Shade

The Plum Purple Shade

The Silver Shade

Three of the four eyeshadows in this Mary Kay eyeshadow palette are glitter shadows. The purple plum shade is not though; this one is a matte shade. Since I love glitter, I like the glitter shades in this palette the most. I can definitely see myself wearing all of these eyeshadows on a daily basis, especially the brown bronze shade.

When it comes to price, Mary Kay eyeshadows are not expensive in my opinion. Each Mary Kay eyeshadow costs $8 each, so this palette costs $32 for all 4 shades. You can choose to get an eyeshadow palette or buy individual shades.

Information about Mary Kay

Mary Kay makeup is made in Canada. This brand is different from most U.S. makeup brands because you get the makeup from one of their consultants. I do not know any Mary Kay consultants other than my friend, so I will give you her contact information:

Conclusion

I am quite happy with these Mary Kay eyeshadows and I am looking forward to trying out some of the other palettes that my friend sent me. I think the price of the shadows are reasonable; they cost about the same as most individual drugstore eyeshadows in CVS and Rite Aid. I like the shade range and the pigmentation of this eyeshadow palette as well. Most importantly, I love that these eyeshadows are made naturally with minerals. So, considering everything, I do recommend the Mary Kay eyeshadows. I think that they are good quality so I feel comfortable recommending them to you all 👯.

Giveaway 📢

(Giveaway Closed)

I will be giving away a full size bottle of the Mary Kay Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover (3.75 oz 110 ml). My friend sent me two bottles of this makeup remover. I tested out the small travel size one on myself first to make sure that it would not burn or irritate my eyes before giving one away to anyone. It turned out fine! My eyes were not irritated by this makeup remover at all, so if you have sensitive eyes, this makeup remover should work fine for you.

DL's Health & Beauty

Enter the realm of health, wellness, beauty, makeup, and fashion. The world is full of so many different forms of beauty. Every culture has its own unique beauty, but one thing that all of them have in common is that healthy is always beautiful. But health is not constant or instant in life. Health is part of the life journey that we are all on until our time is up.

We all have a unique health journey. My health journey started in college when I studied human health and disease at The University of The District of Columbia. Later, I studied health and psychology at The University of Maryland University College. After college, I continued following medical breakthroughs around the world, from India to the UK. I soon realized that there was so much health knowledge out there, but so few people had access to it. Thus, I turned to writing. My goal is to share valuable health breakthroughs with the world and connect health to beauty and multiculturalism; that is how this site came to life.

Wherever you are in your health and wellness journey, there is always more to learn and there is beauty to be found everywhere in various forms. So, let's walk this path together and discover fully what the realm of health and beauty has to offer!
