Ad: Neo Hiushuone & Eva Garden makeup
I’m always excited when I find a professional brand that lives up to its expectations. Eva Garden is an Italian professional makeup brand sold by salons and beauty professionals. The products are packed with pigment, they’re easy to use, and on my skin the formulas lasted well through the day.
Here’s my Eva Garden makeup review with favorite products and three makeup looks done with the products.
Eva Garden makeup review: quick verdict
Sophisticated and easy to use. That’s how I would describe this Italian brand. The quality is what I would expect from a professional makeup line, and so is the packaging: sleek black compacts, useful mirrors in the bigger pans, and textures that feel smooth instead of chalky.
The products are dermatologically tested and are mostly unscented. The powders were the clearest standout for me, because they had strong pigment but still blended easily.
Favorite Eva Garden products
The CC Primer in 104 Caramel is the perfect summer product for my skin. It evens out my color, smooths out my skin and absorbs excess oil. I can use it alone or under foundation, but I love the thin cream just by itself. This is honestly all I need for a light base, because I use a concealer for my dark circles or any spots.
The Perfector Concealer in 334 Warm Cookie surprised me with its creamy, mousse-like consistency and its ability to hide my dark circles. I finally found a concealer shade that both neutralizes and brightens my under-eye area well.
All the powder products within this brand really seem to have something in common: a dreamy consistency. The powders are packed with pigment, yet effortless to blend. When I first swatched the products, I smiled to myself, because this is exactly what I want from my color products.
The Superpearly Bronzer Powder in 905 and Fusion Blush in 348 Sugar Coral are great summer shades for me. The bronzer is quite dark on my skin, so I need to be careful with it, but the formula blends well. The coral blush was an easy choice for me, because it compliments a tan beautifully.

Three Eva Garden makeup looks
Green eye makeup
For eyeshadows, I chose three colors: matte brown 120, forest green 272 and sparkly taupe 244. Besides these, I got the All In One Twist Up Eyeshadow in Turquoise 361.
The shimmery and sparkly eyeshadows apply really nicely with a finger. When I did a green smokey eye look, I felt like I could have gotten away with just using my fingers and that one shadow. I saved the tutorial to my Instagram @charlottaeve highlights.
Soft taupe eye makeup
Winged liner with All In One Eyeshadow
The Twist Up Eyeshadow is the perfect product for creating a cat eye or winged liner. I like the triangular tip, because I can use it to stamp on my wing. It’s especially handy for deep set eyes, which need a slightly different technique for winged liner.
The Twist Up Eyeshadow comes in different colors and can also be used to draw a thinner line.
The final product I want to mention is the Diamond Lip Gloss in 851 Innocente. The shade is a warm red with both warm and cool glitters. The gloss looks multidimensional on the lips, feels moisturizing and did not dry out my lips even though it is very glittery.
