I really like eyeshadows. I love how the different colors available can be used to make colorful makeup looks and bring out your eye color. Like I did with the lipstick test, I decided to do a consumer test of eyeshadows. I tested eighteen shadows by applying them to my hand and eyelids. The rankings depend on how I like the pigmentation of the shadows and how well they complement my eye color. Their overall rating is an average of the pigmentation and eye color complementation scores. For palettes, the scores are based on the color I chose from the palette. All opinions stated in this eyeshadow rankings are completely my own. DISCLAIMER: I am not sponsored by any of the brands of eyeshadows tested for this test. All of the items used were either given to me as gifts, or are products that I purchased with my own money.
