Four eyeshadow palettes to try this summer
Drugstore brand Rimmel beats high-end offerings from Urban Decay, NARS and Bare Minerals on both price and quality


Urban Decay rarely disappoints with its palette, but Backtalk (HK$430/US$55) does not live up to expectations. It is not as versatile as most of the brand’s signature palettes. The warm-toned pink and red shades feel too similar to create a diverse range of looks. But if your goal is to achieve the rose-hued look trending this season, then this one could be for you.

NARS’ Hot Escape Eye and Cheek palette (HK$480) has three shimmery neutral eyeshadows and one matte cream shade that can be used as a base. They are not the most adventurous colours but it comes in a beautiful case. And with a highlighter and blush, it is a travel-friendly palette that won’t take up much space in your make-up bag.
