NYC New York Color IndividualEyes Custom Compact

In my Influenster Beauty Bloggers Vox Box I was very happy to receive the NYC New York Color IndividualEyes Custom Compact in Dark Shadows. The compact has 4 beautiful grey shades that range from a light ivory highlighter to a dark greyish/black that can be used as a liner. The kit sells for $4.99 at drugstores nationwide and comes in a variety of shades. NYC New York Color's all-in-one compact gives you everything you need for a complete eye look: primer, illuminator, applicator and complementing shadows.

I used the primer first, it goes on very smooth and dries quickly. I found that as the day went on the primer did not hold up very well causing the colors to fade. However, the colors did stay on all day when I used them with my premimum brand of primer. Also in the kit is a cream illuminator that I really liked, I applied this on my brow bone under the lightest shade as a highlighter. I applied the lightest grey shade on my lid and the darker grey as the contour shade. I loved the darkest grey/almost black shade and applied this as a liner just above my lashline. It also works great wet as a liner too. I found the colors very pigmented and easy to blend. There was a bit of fallout with the darker color but it was easy to clean up. For a drugstore brand of shadow I found it to be well worth the $4.99 and I am definitely going to buy more shades for that price.

On the back of the package, under the product label there is also a tips guide which was very useful. A lot of care has gone into the production of this product. I have used NYC nail polish in the past and have not been disappointed so I will be checking out their other products as well!
