Huda Beauty Smokey Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette Review, Photos, Swatches

Smokey

Huda Beauty Smokey Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette ($27.00 for 0.35 oz.) includes nine shades of neutral, mostly warm-toned eyeshadows with a mix of matte and shimmer finishes. The majority of the shades were quite good, and I found the palette easy to use. The eyeshadows were semi-opaque to opaque, blendable, and long-wearing overall. It also leaned less warm-toned than most palettes these days, so that was nice to see, too!

Smokey #1

Smokey #1 is a deep black with neutral undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was incredibly smooth and silky but thin. It was a bit harder to control and apply, as it did not seem to adhere quite as well to the skin as I expected. It was richly pigmented and lasted for eight hours on me.

Smokey #2

Smokey #2 is a soft, light brown with warmer undertones and a matte finish. It had good color coverage but was quite powdery, so there was a lot of excess product that kicked up in the pan, even when I used a light hand. The eyeshadow blended out well and stayed on nicely for eight hours.

Smokey #4

Smokey #4 is a smoky, light pewter with a sparkling, metallic finish. The texture was chunkier, though it was almost cream-like, which made it apply better than I expected and didn’t have as much fallout as one would think. It would apply better with a slightly dampened brush, though. It had good color payoff and lasted for eight hours on me with some fallout.
