Avon True Colour Eyeshadow Duo 'Black Pearl'

So if you've been a long time follower of All The Pretty Things OR you've gone back and read my older posts (thank you sooo much if you did that by the way!) you'll know a long time ago I posted that I picked up the Avon Prepare To Party Gift set (you can read the post here).

This was one of the items in that particular set. 

The shade I got was 'Black Pearl'.

The compact palette is perfect for travel or to throw into your makeup bag as it is so small, it also comes with a mirror for convenience and a double ended sponge applicator. (tbh I'd just throw this out if I was you, sponge applicators are useless)

''Incredible smooth, blendable powder that glides over lids, Gives dramatic depth of colour in a luxurious, silkly texture. Crease-proof colour stays true for up to 12 hours''

 I think these two colours are perfect if you are just getting into smokey eyes.

The first colour is a very light almost off white shimmery color which is perfect as an all over lid and brow bone colour. The other colour is a dark grey almost a faded black colour which is perfect for the crease to give a dark and sultry smokey eye.

These particular duo palettes come in 3 shades and are a bargain price of £6.00 here.

You can also find the option of brown 'Healthy Glow' shade here if you're not into the dark smokey eyes and prefer more neutral colours.

Have you ever tried any of the Avon shadows??

Do you prefer dark grey/black smokey eyes or more neutral brown smokey eyes?
