Single Eyeshadow

NYX's Mellow Yellow eyeshadow single is a bright, matte, primary yellow. It's hypoallergenic and cruelty free. This eyeshadow was made in China. I purchased my 2.5g shadow at Ulta for $4.99. Packaging for NYX's single shadows is both cute and practical. The shadows come in small, square, black compacts that flip open. The little compacts feel quite sturdy and I've dropped one several times with no damage to the product. The packaging is recyclable. I like to store NYX Singles in a bead/button organizer. They fit perfectly. Mellow Yellow is a great yellow shadow! I've been looking for one like it for a while now. The shadow is soft, but not powdery, its velvety smooth. It's well pigmented, but it could be more pigmented. It shows up well on bare skin, but like most shadows, preforms better over a primer, and even better over a white or colored base. Mellow Yellow is particularly vibrant over white or yellow base. Mellow Yellow is a true, straight up primary yellow. A useful color to have on hand, and one I use very frequently. It's bright and bold, but certainly not neon. It's great for fun, bright looks and pops of color, but can also be sheered out for a softer look as well. This shadow applies well.It's soft and blends without much effort. I find it applies best when patted on with a stiff brush, sweeping it on creates a sheerer look. Mellow Yellow doesn't have any fall out issues. It can, however, be easily over blended and overpowered by darker colors. I prefer to wear it with other bright shadows. Wear time is an excellent 8+hours with no creasing and minimal fading over a primer. I can't speak for how Mellow Yellow performs without any primer or base. I really like Mellow Yellow. I've finally found a bright, matte, yellow with good pigmentation. That's a pretty rare thing. I've been questing for one for a couple years. If you're on a similar quest, check out NYX. They have a couple yellow choices. This is the first one I've tried from them, but I look forward to sampling others. I'll definitely be repurchasing when I finish this pan. I recommend Mellow Yellow to all NYX lovers, Bright Shadow lovers, or those looking for something a little different to add to their makeup collection. NYX's shadows are great quality at a great price. It's harder to find shadows with a better value.

When I was shopping for bright eye shadows for the spring and summer I decided to try out NYX shadows and I love them! They are bright and very pigmented. They blend in beautifully and have an amazing staying power. I will be buying more in the future!
