Dandy Lions Eyeshadow Swatches - Greens/Aquas (x29)

Dandy Lions Eyeshadow ($4.50 to $5.50) is an indie brand that has been around for five years. They’ve been on my radar for a couple of years, and I have seen Temptalia readers rave about them, so as mainstream brands have slowed down on the bajillion palette releases and have really slashed their own single ranges – it seemed like a good time to try Dandy Lions.

Their matte formula is specifically noted to be on the more powdery side for better blendability. Thus far, they remind me of Viseart eyeshadows – the matte shades do not always swatch the best, but they are very blendable, buildable, and seem to apply with more pigmentation in practice (on the eye). It’s very early on in the testing process, so I’ll have more thoughts to share as I work through the shades and different finishes/colors. It may take me sometime just to photograph/swatch everything (I’ve only done two color groups so far!), as a FYI!
