我以前都有用過Hourglass嘅眼影組，粉質好亦好易用。 但係特定嘅眼影組有個唔好處就係有啲顏色可能自己唔係咁鍾意或者冇咁實用。 Hourglass出咗呢啲Curator Eyeshadow單色眼影，可以自己砌唔同嘅組合，我揀咗幾個色，今日同大家分享吓。
I used Hourglass eyeshadow palettes before, I remember the quality is great. One big disadvantage about eyeshadow palettes is that we often find a colour less usable. So the good news is Hourglass has released these single eyeshadows called curator eyeshadows which you can use to create your own palette. I picked a few colours and let me show you.
Hourglass Curator Eyeshadows HK$270 each
Refillable Palette (5-Colour) HK$150
佢嘅鐵盒分幾款: 單色、三色同埋五色。 我揀咗五色！ 而呢啲單色眼影，只係拍落去個盒度，唔係膠水黐實，所以隨時轉色都得。
The refillable palette comes in 3 formats: single, 3 colours and 5 colours. I went for the 5 coloured one. The curator eyeshadows are not glued to the palette, so you can switch up anytime you want.
左至右顏色: Orb – Ion – Fix – Bee – Elm 除咗Fix係唔閃，其他全部都係閃底嘅顏色。
From left to right: Orb – Ion – Fix – Bee – Elm. Apart from Fix, all of them are shimmery based.
基本上Ion同Bee都係比較淺色，我諗住用佢哋嚟做底色。 而Orb同Elm就比較深色，我會用佢哋喺眼摺位置加深輪廓或者smoky。 Fix係一個冇閃粉嘅顏色，可以用來做提亮。 咁多隻色粉質都好幼細，好出色(圖中係畫咗一下嘅顏色)，好易blend。 質量同以前一樣咁好。
Basically Ion and Bee are of lighter shades and I intend to use them as base colours while Orb and Elm are darker, I plan to use them to add depth. Fix is matte and it can be used as a highlighter. All of the shades are finely milled, pigmented (the swatches are the result from one stroke) and easy to blend. The quality is just as good as before.
唔係人人會鍾意自己砌一個palette，因為要自己揀顏色同埋做配襯。 我覺得都未必適合初學者，因為如果揀錯顏色自己返到屋企會用唔到。 所以我覺得自己砌嘅話比較適合化妝化咗一段時間嘅baby，清楚了解自己乜色會用咩色唔會用，咁你要再去揀顏色就會可以切合自己每日嘅需要。 呢盒我自己都會玩一輪，之後再同大家分享吓究竟邊一隻色我使用量比較高啲。
Not everyone likes to create a palette on their own because choosing which shades can sometimes give us headache. I feel that this won’t be beneficial for a new learner as well because if you pick the wrong shade, you might end up not using it when you get home. So I think it would work for those who wear makeup for awhile and you know what you like and what you don’t like. Then when you go to the counter and pick your shades, you know exactly what you would use on a day-to-day basis. Of course, I am going to play with this for a bit and then report back which colour I use the most.
