Stila vs. Makeup Revolution Metals Eyeshadows

Welcome back to my blog. So today, I want to start a new series called Beauty Comparison. To start off with, I wanted to mention that sometimes, the comparison will be about the colour or the formula or both. For this particular one I am looking at the foiled eyeshadows that are created by Stila and Makeup Revolution. Unfortunately, the colours I have are not a dupe but I did want to talk about the formulation and price. I will also have swatches. 

PRICE:
The Makeup Revolution Metals eyeshadows cost £5 each whereas the Stila Metals eyeshadows cost around  £24 each. I will continue to review the product before giving a final verdict on whether less is more (in terms of price).


PACKAGING: 

The Stila Magnificent Metals eyeshadows is in a single silver eye shadow holder with a clear center circle with Stila written in silver and a visible view of the product. It holds around 0.07 oz so roughly 2 grams. Similarly the Makeup Revolution Awesome Metals Eyeshadows has been placed in plastic black eye shadow holder with the same clear circle to see the product. In terms of packaging, Stila is much more luxurious but for the price is should be expected. Both Metals eyeshadows comes with its own liquid eye primer and a little palette. 




PRODUCT: 

Each brand have used a different formula to create these pigments. Makeup Revolution have more of a creamy consistency whereas Stila is more of a natural pigment which looks to be crushed together rather than blended. I personally perfect the Makeup revolution one because it is easier to apply plus you don't get any fall out which is what Stila provides because of the texture the product has however in terms of pigment, they both have a lot of it. I did try it with their own liquid eye primer and also without it and honestly, I cannot see any difference between them without it but it could be possible that it makes it last longer. Also just noticed that the swatch with the primer for the makeup revolution one has gone clumpy and has made visible creases. 


VERDICT:
Honestly, they are both really nice in terms of shades however I do prefer the formula to the Makeup revolution one but I prefer the Stila eye primer better than the makeup revolution one. Depending on your price point, you really can't go wrong with the Makeup revolution one and honestly, as nice as the Stila one is, I'm not so sure about it being £24 however with brands, comes a good name and stila is a good cosmetic brand.
