Review & Swatch: SLEEK Eyeshadow Palette - Part 1

I'm gonna post more of eyeshadow palettes today. Now is Sleek Makeup's turn.

I own ten Sleek Makeup eyeshadow palettes until today. And I want to add more to my collection because the price is cheap, the quality is good and it has beautiful colors. I know it's hard to find Sleek products. I used to buy via online shop and now they don't sell it anymore because the Sleek Makeup's website is error (they said). Poor me.

So now I'm gonna reviewing and "swatching" five of my Sleek eyeshadow palettes.




1. Au Naturel










It suites for daily look, neutral look. The colors are good for every skin tone. Some are mattes, some are shimmering. I found that the mattes are too soft and you have to put layersss to get the exact color.




2. The Original









I love the purple one, and the blue one.. And the pink one, oh the green one also.. Okay, I love this palette! All colors are shimmering except the black one. Very pigmented! Can you see that? I put only one or two layers and I got this gorgeous color on my skin. And I didn't prime my skin, so now you know the quality of this eyeshadow!




3. Storm










I think this palette is a mix of eyeshadows that suitable for day n night look. Eyeshadows that on the top row are for day look, the bottom row for night look. Agree? It's beautiful. I love the shimmery champagne color, it's beautiful to highlight your brow bones. Especially in this palette, I love the shimmery light grey and the shimmery navy.




4. Ultra Matts V1










Sleek has two kinds of Ultra Matts palettes: bright and dark. This first one I'm showing you is the V1 which is the bright one. As its name, the colors are matte and really bright. I didn't know why I bought this palette because when I think again I'll never use this kinda color of eyeshadow for myself (or maybe if I have to attend cocktail party). But just because I'm a make up artist so I thought somehow it would be useful LOL. Honestly, the colors on this palette aren't really pigmented. You'll find that mattes color is harder to apply, like you need to apply it layers and layers to get the intensity of the color. Just for tips, these colors are great for cocktail party look, fashion makeup or for any others special makeup. But pleaseee, don't use this for daily :)




5. Ultra Matts V2










V2 which is the dark one. It's quite pigmented, maybe because it's dark. You can create nice smokey eyes with these colors. Nothing more to say about this palette. I love it.




Anyway, about the packaging. They are very light and simple. Pretty thin and small, like woman's wallet. It has a mirror that as big as the palette. You can put it in your make up case. And as you've seen above, some palettes have kinda net design on the eyeshadow, some others are just plain and smooth. What I know is the palette with net print on the eyeshadow is the old design, and the plain design is the new one.
Ah, I forgot something! Every palette has its own dual ended sponge brush. I never use it. I just threw it away LOL.
Later, I'll post the rest of my five Sleek eyeshadow palettes. See you!

  1. I have recently branched out to sleek and bought the dark matte palette, I am super impressed by their quality and pigmentation I really did not expect for them to be quite so good! I love the swatches of the palettes that you have done, haha I feel I need the original now and perhaps the brights for fun looks? xx
