I don’t often do pictures of the boxes items are sent in the post but this particular package from Trish McEvoy was just so pretty I couldn’t resist! I always try to tell myself the product is more important than the packaging but when it’s this lovely I just can’t help being won over.


So inside the very posh and luxurious box was the new autumn chic and sheer collection which is designed to give the face soft definition. The collection includes a new fan shaped brush, two eye shadows and a bronzer. The eye shadows and bronzer are all enclosed in this handy and stylish black compact.


The top picture shows the eye shadows in French Vanilla (matte pink shadow) and Soft Grey (matte dove grey shade). The bottom picture shows the Golden Bronzer which gives a natural bronze with just a very slight hint of shimmer. The swatches below are a few coats to give a more intense colour, especially the bronzer which comes out a lot sheerer when applied properly.


I’ve just done a quick swatch of the bronzer on my cheek as I was really pleased with the natural glow it gives. I have really pale skin so bronzers can be hard to wear but this gives my face such a natural finish. It’s actually made me realise the added benefits a little contouring can give to an overall look. I use the new 62 fan brush to apply this as the flat rounded shape seems to deliver just a wisp of colour which is perfect for my skin tone.
I’ve been wear the two eye shadows quite a bit since they arrived earlier in the week so I shall do a FOTD soon including these. I don’t often pick up a matte eye shadow but these colours work so well together and really seem to brighten my eyes. The pink shadow I think would suit anyone and the grey shadow is the perfect colour for blending around the crease of your eye or lining round your lashes.
The deluxe French Vanilla eyeshadow is £18, the Soft Grey eyeshadow is £12, the Golden Bronzer is £22 and the 62 Fan Brush is £28. I think for the quality of the makeup and of course the stunning packaging it’s well worth spending the little extra. Trish McEvoy makeup is available from Selfridges in London and Harvey Nichols.
