Hard Candy Holiday Collection Eyeshadow Singles

Hard Candy has a holiday collection available at Walmart.
I bought these "Baked Eye Shadow" singles  (0.07oz/2.1g)for $1 each.

 

 

gold #4102 metallic 

pink #4099 not pigmented at all 

magenta #4104 has an iridescent sheen 

lavender #4098 

purple #4097

 

[forest green, bronze, and aqua blue eye shadows were also available]

Here are dry swatches, I used my finger and no primer so we can see their true pigmentation- 

The eyeshadows are super sheer and a little shimmery. I had to keep rubbing and layering the pink eyeshadow for any color to show up at all- how disappointing! The magenta would probably work best as a blush. The gold is my favorite, I will probably use this as a highlighter in the summer.

 

BAKED eyeshadows are special in that whey can be used wet or dry... I know this...

but I don't like using damp brushes- and if the eyeshadows don't look good applied dry,

then that's like 50% useless, right? RIGHT! No thank you.
