17 Single Eye Shadow Swatches; Statuesque and Mardi Gras

I’m a huge fan of the 17 eye shadow formula. They are so smooth and pigmented. You would never in a million years guess that they cost only £3.89. Here I have to gorgeous neutrals. In the pot picture Mardi Gras (a bronzy almost but not quite taupe shade) is on the left but just to confuse matter it’s the other way round in the swatch. The other shade ( Statuesque) is a pinky red bronze. 

Both have an almost metallic finish. They glide on and blend very well. I’ve never had problems with fading or creasing but I do always use a base. The packaging is nothing special. It’s just a black plastic pot with a screw off lid. I do like the clear window so you can see the colour you’re looking for. 

With the trios you sometimes find some variation in the quality. I haven’t come across a terrible one but some are definitely better than others. I only own three of these single shadows but all three are really very lovely. 17 seems to have moved away from the tween image and has become a respectable budget brand with some really high quality products. Hats off to them, I’d happily buy more of these.
