A bit about 17
17 is a British brand (I think, so please comment if they have it in other countries too!), that is aimed a teenagers. It stocks all things from mascara to primers, and handbag essentials.
Additional Info
Right, this is the inside. It comes with 3 different coloured bronzers, a pot of black gel eyeliner, black mascara, 2 eye pencils: black and brown, metallic cream, nude blush, 5 eyeshadows/blushes, 8 baked powders, 5 lipsticks, an eye pencil sharpener, an eyelash curler, 5 different brushes, and a mini booklet with makeup tips and tricks, and a primer
The eyelash curler
The eyelash curler is very good, and works really well. If you can't wear mascara, then I recommend this, as it gives the effect of longer lashes.
Primer
This primer does wonders! It is nice and creamy, can go on all parts of the face, and creates a smooth base for the makeup to be applied onto.
Black gel eyeliner
The gel eyeliner is very good, and the set actually comes with an eyeliner brush, too.
Metallic cream
This cream can be applied anywhere on the face, but I use it for lightening. I don't recommend this for a natural school look, as it is really really really shiny. This cream is better for the summer break.
Mascara
This mascara is probably the best one I have ever used. If you are going out anywhere, just brush on a few coats of this and you have some pretty lashes. If you are going on a date, apply a few coats of this and you have the ultimate doll eyes! Very good for what it is.
Blush
As you can see in the picture, next to the metallic cream, there is a nude coloured blush. I really like this blush, and use it everyday. The only bad thing about this is that if you were looking for ultimate coverage, then I do not recommend. It doesn't do that good coverage.
eye liner pencils and shapener
These pencils are very good quality. They do the job very well. For a softer look use the brown. For a vintage 1950's look, use the black one. The sharpener is really good too. It doesn't break the pencils or anything like that.
Bronzer(s)
There are 3 different coloured bronzers, in the same kind of compact. One is like a chocolate brown, one is a nudish colour, and one is like a yellowish skin colour. For their job, they do very well. They highlight your face.
set of 5 blushers/eyeshadows
These are my favourite eyeshadows. The colours are: natural, brown, blue, pink, and black. My personal favourite is the natural and pink colour, as they are really good for school. If you are running late, just use the normal eye brush, and apply the natural shade all over the lid. Then towards the inner corner of the eye, apply the pink, to lighten the appearance. These colours such as the clack and brown also double up as eyeliners. Use then shaped eye brush to do it.
Baked powders
Unfortunately, the baked powders are personally the worst part of this makeup set. The four darker colours are very good for doing a smokey eye, but the four other lighter colours aren't that good because when you apply them, nothing really shows. Especially the white. The good points about the powders are that because they are round, they are quite easy and nice to apply onto the brush.
Lip sticks/glosses
The lip colours are really nice, and easy to apply. The only bad thing is that they are all really shiny, and it would be nice if there was at least 1 matte colour.
Brushes
All of the brushes are great! No problem with those!
Overall, I really like this makeup set. Apologies for the messiness of this case, as you can see I have used it lots! I hope this review was helpful to you. I can't wait to figure out a summer look using these cosmetics! If this set is no longer about, there are many 17 individual cosmetics that are the same. Please visit my YouTube channel. You can see details on older posts. Thanks! also, please visit my twitter. Remember: Don't follow your dreams, chase them! Chase them so, so much, then one day you will catch them!
To live without fear,
to love without limits,
to dream without boundaries,
to believe without doubt. #dream!
