The Perfect Summer Eyeshadow Palette






If you're like me, you're always looking for the perfect neutral eyeshadow palette. But in the summer, it needs to have just enough shimmer to make you look like a Bronze Goddess, without an overpowering amount of glitter. Something easy to transition day to night is always a plus and of course the perfect golden browns for a summer glowing look. Since I am oily prone in the warmer weather, lasting power is EVERYTHING! I like to be able to create a look in the morning when I get ready for work and still be able to wear the same look out with minor touch ups at night. 
Look no further, BA Star Pro Makeup has the perfect palette for girls like us! 
Recently, I was sent this bronzy gold palette from BA Star Makeup. It's a Day to Night Smokey Eye Palette with neutral, shimmery golds and bronze shadows. And here is the best part; It also includes two glitter gel shadows in gold and an almost iridescent shade, which are perfect to use as a glitter liner to really amp up any makeup look. 
My first impression of these shadows are that they are super soft and silky. Color payoff is true to how it looks in the pot and they glide on easily without fall out, making them very blend-able. You don't have to pack on a lot of shadow in order to create whatever makeup look you are going for. The gel shadows do not stay wet or creamy for long, they dry fairly quickly to keep your look in place. This is a MAJOR PLUS, you guys! 
So far I am loving what I see and feel with these shadows. In my tutorial I will touch base on the lasting power of these shadows. Below you will find some detail photos and swatches of the colors.
