Shadow palettes are of all shapes and sizes, but Maybelline Shadow Block are small to fit makeup colors with metropolitan (city) theme that can be taken with you anywhere. Let’s see if this little palette packs a punch!
Pocket-Sized Powerhouse or Pint-Sized Pain?
This palette is so small! You can easily take it with you wherever you do by putting it in your purse or makeup bag. Which is really good for traveling or touch-ups on a busy day at work. But you may have to settle on fewer colors because there isn’t much space available for them. Only 3 out of these palettes will you be able to work with and achieve complex looks.
Color Crush or City Snooze?
Usually, the Shadow Blocks come in faded models. There are 5 color palettes which all together are meant to be a NYC neighborhood. “Brick St. & Broome” and “Uptown Uptown”- these sound like really cool picks. The color spectrum for these palettes is either something I find interesting. Some of them I might consider a hit or miss.
Maybelline Shadow Block Eyeshadow Palette
Some colors are vibrant and bold, for example, purples and blues, and others are soft neutral everyday shades. To know which color you will end up with, is all about the choice you make.
Blendability Bliss or Brush Battle?
Yes, it is indeed like the formula is normally very blendable. The pigment is enough to see a difference between another part and the top of your eyes. But it is not too much, hence it won’t cling to brushes in blending.
On the other hand, some users have problems with a touch of patchiness, in particular, a shimmering one included in every trio. To make it appear right, you can use the better eyeshadow brush with it.
All-Day Wear or Afternoon Wipeout?
According to Maybelline, these eyeshadow colors are of 8-hour lasting wear quality. It can vary from person to person though. Without an eye primer, they tend to crease during the day.
Easy Application or Frustrating Fumble?
The palettes do not contain brushes or applicators. Missing a brush and having no other tools in a circumstance where you and your subtlety are on the move can be frustrating. You can try using your fingers, but the use of a brush is the surest way to have a more polished finish.
Budget-Friendly Beauty or Bland Buy?
The Maybelline Shadow Blocks can be bought at a very low price. Beginners with makeup as well as people looking for cheap and fun eyeshadows that they could easily carry along are the consumer group. They should work fine, even though there are the brand palettes that have a little more variety and are a closer connection to high-end ones.

On the other hand, a different palette will offer you a broader range of colors and more lasting effect, then paying a bit extra for it might be a good idea.
Final Verdict: City Chic or Cheap Trick?
The Maybelline Shadow Blocks are just remarkable and not at all expensive. They are the small palettes and they are. They are made in various colors, yet not too heavy on the wallet, and for that reason, they are easy to blend.
