Lakme 9 To 5 Eye Colour Quartet Desert Rose Review

by Prachi Singh

Who is it for? This Lakme 9 to 5 Eye Colour Quartet Desert Rose is for those who are looking for warm shades? The whole concept of this palette is quite workable and you can easily attain ombre look which works perfectly well for highlighting inner corners, outer corners, crease and also eye lids.

My Experience with Lakme 9 To 5 Eye Colour Quartet Desert Rose

Packaging –

Its packaging is Rose gold on the back and transparent on top. It comes with a tiny little sponge brush. I must say the whole packaging is quite compact and travel-friendly. But then it’s quite difficult to work with the tiny brush provided. You definitely need spare brushes.

Fragrance

No fragrance at all.

Feel

It’s definitely not one of those silky weightless powder. On layering, it feels heavy on eyes. Spreading this one is not a task but it gets a bit clumsy when you try building up the shade.

Shade and pigmentation

I really like the shades of this palette. It has 4 shades being, Golden Beige, Pink Beige, Copper, and Rich metallic brown with tiny shimmer particles to it. My favorite one has to be golden and dark brown. They are better pigmented than other shades. In one swipe you get maximum pigmentation. For the rest two shades, you need to apply multiple swatches. Also on the application, the brown and copper shade looks pretty much the same. It doesn’t make a huge difference. But then brown is a much better option. I can see this palette working well for fair to wheatish skin tone. On darker skin tones the shade might not pop up.

Performance

Well, the stay part is tad bit disappointing! In normal weather conditions, it tends to fade off within 4-5 hours. Except for the dark brown shade which stays for the longer duration. But again not more than 8 hours. And in the humid condition, it fades off much quicker.

What did I like?
  1. Packaging
  2. No allergic reactions
  3. Subtle shimmer particles
  4. No fragrance
  5. Compact handy packaging
What didn't I like?
  1. Averagely pigmented
  2. Fades away quick
  3. Not value for money
  4. Not suitable for oily eyelids
  5. Not for darker skin tone
Will I recommend?

Nope. You have better and cheap options in the market which performs way better than this one. So skip this palette it’s not worth the money. Don’t get this one below 40% discount.

Ratings 2.5/5

The shades are quite nice but this palette lacks matte crease shades. This palette alone cannnot create a well blended look for this reason..
Loved your honest review???
