BA STAR is a performance makeup brand popular with cheerleaders, dancers, and competitors in a variety of fields. They recently released a new eye shadow palette that’s both versatile and affordable at just $8.75. I received the Smoky Eye Shadow Palette in Natural (yes! I love these colors!), which contains three mineral eye shadows and two glitter gels for highlighting. I can’t say that I have a lot of use for the glitter gels these days, but I wish they would have been around when I was younger and still in gymnastics and figure skating. They’re much better than the awful glitters from the 90s that would travel all over my face.

My favorite shadow in this palette turned out to be Bronze, which is actually more of a pretty pinky/brown color. For an everyday look I used Bronze all over, followed by Cocoa at the outer corners of my eyes. Nude was sparingly applied just over my iris for a little bit of brightening– a good tip that was once offered to me by a makeup artist.

It came out natural-looking and great for day, though I think I could have some fun with the Gold glitter gel for a night out. What do you think?
