Hello readers,
Today I have a new-to-me Canadian cosmetics brand to share with you, Hedo Cosmetics. I was really drawn to their rainbow of matte eyeshadow shades and bought two 6 shadow bundles during a recent sale. Let's take a look at swatches.
For $45CAD you can build your own custom palette which includes six shadows of your choice and a Hedo branded palette to store them all in. I ended up reusing the labels from the individual shadow packaging to label my palettes (though there are also shade names on the bottom of the pans).

Without primer, these shadows are pretty sheer and experience a lot of fallout. While this wasn't too unusual for the bright shades (bright mattes in general tend to have finicky formulas) I was a bit disappointed that some of the more traditional shades like Succulent, Pigeon and Deep Ocean were very sheer as well.
That being said, based on my first EOTD attempt they are a lot easier to use when paired with primer. Here's a simple sunset gradient look I put together using three Hedo shadows.

(2) Hedo Cosmetics Clownfish
(3) Hedo Cosmetics Peach
Other Products Used
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara
Conclusion
The shadows definitely benefit from an eyeshadow primer to increase pigmentation and minimize fallout. Now that I've figured that out, I'm looking forward to playing around with these shades more to create some bright matte looks. You can find Hedo Cosmetics on
Happy polishing,
Michelle
