YoungBlood Perfect Pair Mineral Eye Duos – Review & Swatches

January 22, 2016 Katie Marie 28 Comments

YoungBlood Perfect Pair // Mineral Eyeshadow Duos // Review, Swatches, & Eye Looks // @LadyKaty92 FromMyVanity.comIt’s always fun to discover new brands and today I have a new one to introduce to you called YoungBlood. Since I’ve never tried anything from this brand, naturally I was curious to see how their eyeshadows performed (being an eyeshadow junkie, and all :-P) If you want to hear my thoughts on their Perfect Pair Mineral Eye Duos — and see swatches and a few eyeshadow looks that I created, too — than just keep reading!

My Review of YoungBlood Perfect Pair Mineral Eye Duos

There are four different duos in the this Perfect Pair Mineral Eye Duo collection – Desire, Graceful, Charismatic, and Virtue and they’re priced at $28 each. Each duo is very creamy and soft and nicely pigmented with the exception of Desire. Not that it wasn’t a good duo, but it wasn’t as pigmented as the other shades.

Let’s run through the different duos and I’ll share with you my swatches and the eye looks I created using each duo!

YoungBlood Perfect Pair // Mineral Eyeshadow Duos // Review, Swatches, & Eye Looks // Charismatic Duo // @LadyKaty92 FromMyVanity.comFirst up we have Charismatic. And this was personally my favorite duo (I know, because it’s the neutral duo!) It contained a really pretty shimmer pinky-neutral shade along with a matte, dark brown. The perfect duo to use to create an eye look, all by itself, as you can see from the picture above. ๐Ÿ™‚

YoungBlood Perfect Pair // Mineral Eyeshadow Duos // Review, Swatches, & Eye Looks // Desire Duo // @LadyKaty92 FromMyVanity.comNext is Desire and it leans very ‘dusty’ with its colors — one is a semi-matte lavender shade and the other is a matte blue-purple. With this do I used the blue all over the lid and the lavender shade on the inner corner and very, very lightly on the browbone. I brought in a cool-tone brown from another palette do define the outer edge of the eye look.

YoungBlood Perfect Pair // Mineral Eyeshadow Duos // Review, Swatches, & Eye Looks // Graceful Duo // @LadyKaty92 FromMyVanity.comThe next duo is Graceful. This duo was the ‘boldest’ of the collection with a peachy shimmer and a matte blue. With this eye look I used the peach all over the lid and used the blue in the outer corner and blended it up through the crease. I brought in a very light brown as my transition shade and finished off with a skintone shadow under my eyebrows.

(By the way, Am I the only one who things I look “off” when I don’t do an eyelook that includes a winged liner?? I feel like my eyelook is ‘naked’ without it, haha!)

YoungBlood Perfect Pair // Mineral Eyeshadow Duos // Review, Swatches, & Eye Looks // Virtue Duo // @LadyKaty92 FromMyVanity.comLast would be the duo called Virtue and this was another favorite of mine. The matte white shade was a bit too bright for my skintone and personal preference, but the shimmery burgundy shade is gorgeous. As you can see from the look above, I used a bit of MAC Fix+ to apply it wet (which you can do with any of these duos) and absolutely loved how it turned out. I had to bring in a transition color through the crease, but besides that this eyelook is created with just these two colors.

I didn’t have any issues with the lasting power of these shadows — the all held up nicely without creasing. And it’s great to know that these eyeshadow duos are made from minerals, and have better ingredients and are better for your skin. Yes, the pricetag is a higher than what can be found at your local drugstore, but you’re paying for quality ingredients (and pretty sleek packaging, I might add. Love it!)

YoungBlood Perfect Pair // Mineral Eyeshadow Duos // Review, Swatches, & Eye Looks // Box Packaging // @LadyKaty92 FromMyVanity.comI’ll be honest and say mineral makeup never interested me, because I’ve never been a fan of loose eyeshadows (and that’s the only type of mineral eyeshadow I had experience with, before this). But after experiencing how great this eyeshadows perform, how creamy they feel, and how nicely they blend together…let’s just say that YoungBlood duo eyeshadows has made a believer out of me. Can’t wait to try more mineral products in the future!

    These shadows are heavenly to use. I don’t have Charismatic but I need to get it. I can’t believe how silky these are.

    I’ve never heard of this brand but they look great. Nice color combinations and when they are duos it really makes morning prep easy, takes the thinking out of what to use. Great review!

      Thank you! I always like my wing! I decided to not do it for the Graceful eye look and when I was editing the pictures I felt like my eye look naked, lol ๐Ÿ˜›

    The eye looks that you created with the YB duos are the best I’ve seen. Gorgeous! I have their Vintage quad, and I love it. So easy to use.

      Desire is very pretty. It was more of a muted purple than I expected, but performed beautifully ๐Ÿ™‚

    Great review! I’m a big fan of mineral makeup and I live that these are compact instead of loose powder.

      Yes, I think that’s what I loved most! I am not a huge fan of loose powder, unless it’s a sparkly pigment or something. But these mattes work so well when I want to blend it into my crease ๐Ÿ™‚
