I was chosen by Brand Backer to try One Direction Limited Edition Makeup by Markwins. I am significantly older than the target demographic for this product, and to be honest I wasn't expecting much from the One Direction Makeup kits. The kits all have the same makeup, but each features a different member of One Direction.
I received my One Direction Makeup and the other day and tried it out the next day. One of the first things I noticed is there is no blush in the kit, but not a deal breaker by any means. I used the eye shadow and the lipgloss, I have not tried the nail polish just yet, but plan to soon.
I applied the eyeshadow first and was pleasantly surprised it has great pigment. I was expecting I would have to layer on the eyeshadow heavily in order to get it to show, but that wasn't the case. The eyeshadow went on smoothly and showed up very well.
Next I used the lipgloss, there are 4 shades and you can easily blend the colors together to get a more custom color. I discovered this while trying to tone down the bright bubblegum pink shade, it's a pretty color, but a bit much for my taste, I added a bit of the darker pink to it and it was perfect. The lipgloss is suprising long lasting, the gloss wears away after awhile, but the pigment does remain awhile longer almost like a lip stain.
Overall I was very pleased with the One Direction Makeup. I like the makeup and Markwins did a great job with the color options in the palette. I would have like it to have blush because then it would be ideal for travel. While I wouldn't have chosen to buy the One Direction themed makeup for myself, after trying it I would buy it just for the makeup, and I would be open to any other Markwins products. I also think this would make a great gift for a One Direction fan or makeup lover.
