Review: Maybelline Eye Studio Hyper Diamonds Eyeshadow in 'Charcoal Diamonds'

Another great Maybelline eyeshadow palette, this time in simple variations of grey, black and white. I decided to buy this product because I don't really have a Maybelline shadow set that's just dedicated to these kind of charcoal shades, and so I'm hoping this will provide a good colour palette for a basic smoky eye.

Characteristics:

• 5 Shades: Black, white, and a medium, light and dark grey.
• All colours are shimmer tones.
• Comes with a small sponge applicator, with one end thick and the other thin.

Positives:

• A good range of charcoal hues that allows light and shade.
• Good pigmentation for most colours.
• It lives up to its 'Hyper Diamonds' name, as each shade shimmers beautifully.
• Lovely packaging, especially the shapes of each shadow.

Negatives:

• There are only four sides of the sponge applicator, but 5 shadows.
• The white and light grey colours are almost transparent, so these can really only be used as highlights.

Overall, I would rate this product ★★★★☆

Come back soon to see a tutorial using this eyeshadow palette :)
