Hey guys!
Today i shall be reviewing Superdrugs new in house brand which is called
MUA Makeup Academy.
firstly i only currently have the eye shadows from this collection but still i have been very impressed,
everything in this collection is very inexpensive to buy being only a pound an item but still very good quality for the small amount of money leaving your purses which to me
well is pretty rare !! so anyway lets get on with it, i purchased 15 of the shadows i believe there are more but i just got one of each that were in stock so ye!
okay so i cannot get a perfect group picture but i shall swatch them and show you as i go along :)
okay firstly i shall swatch all the matte!!
 |
| okay L-R not sure if you can see it as it is very sheer shade 16, then shade 17, shade 18 and lastly shade 19! |
okay so here are the swatches shade 16 is a beautiful very sheer pink which is very similar to my actually skin colour so ye doesn't show too well but still gorgeous, shade 19 is my absolute fave a matte choc brown ahhh stunning is the word that comes to mind haha!!
now for the pearls!
 |
| From L-R these are the pearl shades... 7 , 6, 5, 4 , 2, and 1 |
These are the lighter half of the pearl shades and are much more pigmented than the matte, hardly any product was used to do these swatches, which means more product for me :) haha!
shade 4 is the sheer purple this would be lovely for a spring look! shades 1 and 2 could both be used as highlighters on the brow and cheekbone!
 |
| From left to right the darker few shade 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 and 15 |
Okay firstly shade 11 and 12 are crazy similar and tbh don't see the need for them both choose one or they other in the pan they look very different but as you can see on my swatch once applied well they are soo similar!
my fave is shade 13 as its a very deep aubergine and would do an amazing smoky eye!!
My overview of the eye shadows is that money wise they are crazy cheap and i will definitely purchase more colours, as for pigmentation i think the pearl shades are more pigmented than the matte!! and much more product is needed with the matte the get the colour it looks in the pan!! I only have one other niggle about the eye shadows, i know they are very cheap to buy but i think the packaging could be made to look nicer, when you buy them they have a small sticky tab which keeps them closed but when peeled off it leaves a sticky mess which you have to scrape off but other than that overall a good product!
I will be buying many more MUA products to try and i shall let you all know how they are :)
