My Top 10 Single Eyeshadows

Hello to all my lovely readers,

Today I would like to share with you my top 10 single eyeshadows. 

So, let's get right into it. 

1: Hard Candy Single & Loving it in Unattached 

 This is a beautiful bright light green color with a little bit of yellow in it that is perfect in the Spring. I like to wear this all over the lid with a light brown in the crease & a shimmery white color in the inner corner. I highly recommend that you pick this one up if you are a green eyeshadow lover like I am. 

2: Wet N Wild Coloricon Single in Brulee

I think that at this point everyone knows about this shadow. It's a little bit difficult to see in the swatch because it is so close to my skin color. Yeah, I'm pale. It's great as an under the brow highlight & all over the lid or if you have a darker skin color I think that it would be pretty as an inner corner highlight. 

3: Wet N Wild Coloricon Single in Envy

This is a beautiful mossy green color. It's gorgeous used in a smokey look or as liner. My favorite way to wear it is to line my eyes with a green pencil liner then set it with this shadow. 

4: Wet N Wild Coloricon Single in Nutty 

 Don't worry this is the last Wet N Wild one. It is a taupey brown which is a great everyday color. It's also makes a great one shadow look when you place it all over the lid & then build it up a little more in the crease. You just can't go wrong with this one. 

5: NYX Single eyeshadow in Cherry

This is a great red with a bit of pink in it. I love it so much. I don't have anything else like it in my collection. It has what I would call a satin finish. It isn't matte but it isn't very shimmery either so it look good on the lid or the crease. You could also use this as a one shadow look by putting it lightly on the lid which gives it more of a pink then adding more in the crease to give it more of that red look. It's great & if you are more daring with your shadow then I highly recommend pick this baby up. 

6: ELF Studio Line Single Baked Eyeshadow in Moonlight Serenade 

This is a white shadow with a gold shift that is stunning in person. Since this is a baked shadow I have swatched it dry (left) & wet (right). When applied dry more of the white shows up & then when you apply it wet more of the gold shows through. This is my favorite inner corner highlight. This color can work for any skintone so the next time you place an order with ELF pick this up!

7: L'OREAL Infallible Eyeshadow in Glistening Garnet 

This is a great berry color. It is another one of those colors that isn't for the faint of heart but it is SO beautiful. One of my favorite ways to wear this one is to put a color like Wet N Wild's Brulee all over the lid then use this in the crease & make a "cut crease" look. So beautiful. 

8: L'OREAL Infallible Eyeshadow in Iced Latte

This is a classic champagne color. I have several other shades that compare to this in shade but not in texture which is why I picked this one over those others. It is just so smooth & gives a great shine on the lids that really brightens the eyes. It's great as a lid color & a inner corner highlight. I've heard from several other people that this is a dupe for Stilla's Kitten. I don't have that color so I can't personally testify to that but just something to keep in mind. You can see me use this in a FOTD here.

9: L'OREAL Infallible Eyeshadow in Eternal Sunshine

 This is a great gold color that I think can work well for any skintone. This is a great summer shade. I personally don't have any other golds in my collection that are quite like this one. It's a bright gold that to me makes it a bit unique for the drugstore. 

10: Mark i-mark Wet/Dry Eyeshadow in Luv Struck 

 This is a great bright pink shadow. I have swatched it dry (left) & wet (right) since it is advertised as a wwet/dry shadow even though it isn't baked. When applied wet it has more of a metallic finish which is really pretty. If you tried these Mark shadows back in the day & didn't care for them then I say try it again. They have recently reformulated them & they are VERY improved. 

                                    Honorable mention: Wet N Wild Coloricon Single in Kitten 

This reason that this shadow is an honorable mention & not in the top 10 is that it was recently discontinued! I wanted to cry when Wet N Wild got rid of this gem because it is one of my favorites all around. This is actually my second one. I had to repurchase because I used my other one completely up. It's a great light purple shade which is again perfect for Spring. It's a great lid color. I think that this is a good color for someone who usually only wears neutrals to break into more colorful shadows with since it is a light purple. I'm super sad that they took this away but I wanted to mention it because I have seen a few still lingering in some of my local drugstores. 

Well, that's all my favorites. I hope that this was helpful. What are some of your favorite single eyeshadows?

Until next time...

Stay True & Stay You
