Makeup by One Direction Limited Edition Beauty Collection

One Direction has come out with some new makeup just in time for the holidays. BrandBacker sent me 3 sets for review. Each set has the same products, just a different band member on the front. You can purchase these sets at Sears USA, Kmart, Target, and Walmart Canada.

The set comes with 6 eye shadows, 4 pan lip glosses, 1 eyeliner, 1 glitter lip gloss, 2 mini nail polishes, and 2 application tools. I feel like they should have included a mascara and blush to complete the palette, but the pan lip glosses could possible double as blushes/highlighters.

The lip glosses go on smoothly, but the goldish color seems to be a different formula. I hit pan on it just by doing swatches. They are pretty nice and surprisingly more pigmented than I expected. They are all very pretty, wearable shades. The hand swatches are shown in natural daylight. The lip swatches are shown with flash.

Lip Gloss:

Loved You First- Bubble gum pink
One Thing- Frosted pink ice
Irresistible- Shimmered pearl
Heart Attack- Creamy rose shine

Lip Gloss Top Coat:
Over Again- Silver glitter sparkle

I wasn't impressed with the eyeliner. It isn't pigmented as you can see with my initial stroke. I had to really build it and even then it's not black enough for my preference. It did however glide on smoothly without tugging.

The eye shadows weren't too bad. The metallic colors were more pigmented and creamy feeling. The swatch is one swipe! I really like them and think they are gorgeous shades. The other three need to be built up to get some color payoff and would definitely need a base or primer. The swatches are shown in natural daylight. Be careful if you try to remove the eye shadows as I broke when attempting to do that. That revealed that the metallic was only on top so that was a little disappointing. 

Eye Shadows:

Nobody Compares- Metallic silver
Tell Me A Lie- Metallic nude pink 
Same Mistakes- Metallic mint
I Would- Smokey brown shimmer
Summer Love- Smokey purple haze
Everything About You- Smokey black shimmer

I found the nail polish hard to apply because it was a jelly glitter consistency. I think my nails still came out nice looking and it's a very pretty color. I feel as though the glitter top coat would look better over white and is perfect for holiday nail designs. It reminds of multi-colored Christmas lights.

Overall I think it is a great set for a One Direction fan or someone new to makeup. I'm giving the other two sets I received to my daughters for Christmas. They love makeup and will be so excited to get a set like this of their own.
