Gosh, I haven’t used any type of Almay makeup because — when was that? 1992?
I vaguely keep in mind purchasing something from the line at a Thrifty’s where I cruised for makeup after school. There was something about the products looking kinda rigid as well as major that I still keep in mind today. It wasn’t the type of makeup my good friends as well as I were using to school. It was the stuff “grownups” were using to work in tall gray office buildings downtown.

But that was actually decades ago, as well as the line’s altered a great deal over the past few years, becoming, attempt I say, cooler. Or, perhaps I’ve just gotten older, heh.
I like the new Almay’s easy, breezy vibe. believe Rite-Aid satisfies Trish McEvoy at the Bobbi brown counter. It’s a “we take the guesswork out of it for ya!” method to drugstore makeup, as well as obviously the line is likewise hypoallergenic as well as cruelty free, which Tabs explains as “hella dope” (his words).
Almay stepped up their color game, too, adding groovy shades like the purple from the Almay intense I-Color Powder shadow Trio in Browns 001 ($7).

Browns 001 is one of 12 Almay trios with coordinating, fairly long-lasting shades handpicked to intensify different eye colors. It has a shimmery, sheer purple for lids, a shimmery brown for the crease, as well as a frosty beige for highlighting — the three of them chosen to improve chocolate peepers.
I dunno… Do my brown eyes look much more intense than usual? I can’t tell…
The shadows boast light-to-medium pigment, which implies they’re likewise quite simple to blend individually as well as together. excellent if you like that natural “I’m not using eye makeup” makeup look.
With these, if you crave colors with much more punch, you’ll have to layer, layer, layer. The beige as well as brown apply much more intensely than the purple, which is the sheerest of these three. I’m using five layers (!) in these pics, used dry (and the colors still aren’t even that bright).
As for exactly how these shadows feel to me, I believe they’re soft, however not buttery soft, as well as the powders look heavy on my skin. Of course, with five layers, that’s not a huge surprise.
It’s good to see that Almay hasn’t disappeared from the scene, however I may try doing a soft sweep of color with these shadows. That may be a much better method to go.

Kinda random, however I question what the community turkeys are up to. They’ve been keeping a low profile lately.
