peek a bright eyes

'peek a bright eyes' by benefit £24.50






                
so my boyfriend bought me this set a couple of weeks back and like all benefit eye sets it took me a while to use because it just looked so clean and pretty, i don't know about you but i'm a sucker for keeping my makeup nice and tidy. the set is actually amazing, i was pleasantly surprised with how the shadows light up your eyes and give a nice glowy dewy effect. i know all people apply eyeshadow different but i've found with this set that each shadow can be applied seperate for a block colour - which doesn't give the effect the set intended but is obviously an option. the correct (says the benefit instructions) way to use the shadow is to apply  the non shiny base powder all over the lid, then apply the pinky shade on the lower half of the lid, using the brown to line the lid closest to the eyelashes. the concealer/ eye bright can be used optionally to highlight under the eyes and hide any of them pesky bags! honestly i would reccomend the set to anybody, its simplicity really does make it a key staple to any make up bag and its just the right size to fit in any makeup bag no matter how small!

             what's your favourite eye set?  kate x
