Purchase: BA Star
Cost: $8.75
BA Star is makeup that is geared towards cheer and dance teams. The shadow palettes come in a variety of vivid colors which are very eye catching.
Ease of Application
The BA Star shadows went on fairly well, even with the generic brush that was provided in the palette. A lot of the shades did have a lot of fallout, however, that is something that can be gotten around easily enough.
Score: 7 out of 10
Color
The pigmentation for the BA Star shadows was quite excellent. I was afraid when I saw the palette that the white/silver shade would be super pale but it also had great pigmentation.
Score: 10 out of 10
Feel
The feel of these shadows differs between the two textures of shadows available in the BA Star palette. The shimmery shadows feel a little grainy while the matte shadow feels kind of dusty. However, they only feel like this if you swatch them with your finger, they do not feel like that on your actual eyes.
Score: 8 out of 10
Lasting Power
The BA Star shadows lasted a long time considering it is only a $9 palette. However, without primer they do start to wear off quicker than other shadows but a good primer will let them last a bit longer.

It has been many years since I have worn blue eyeshadow– I think overdoing it in the 80/90’s scared me from it- but those really are pretty blues almost more of a dark smoky look. Thanks for the review.

Love that the pigmentation is so great! That’s huge for me when I purchase shadow. Love me some blues now I just need to find some bravery to rock it 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

Loving the blues!

These look so nicely pigmented!! I hate when shadows come out way lighter than the actual colors but these look pretty darn good. I don’t think I could pull off the blue but I love all the other colors!

I love that the colors actually look vibrant on your hand too. I always struggle with the fall-out but like you said that is easily managed! thanks for sharing.

I love that whitish silver and the blue! Not sure I could ever pull off the blue, but I still love it!
