Etude House Dolly 3-Step Eyes in Cute Doll
Friday, October 5, 2012 at 9:50AM Something about the cooler weather and the season makes me want to wear smoky eyes all the time. I've demonstrated how easy it is to do the look, so there's no excuse for me (and you!) not to wear it whenever I feel like it! Ha. One palette that makes smoky eyes incredibly easy is the Etude House Dolly 3-Step Eyes in Cute Doll (P648). It contains three eyeshadows that combine perfectly to give you the gradient smoky look.
The Cute Doll BR401 palette contains full-sized, super creamy matte eyeshadows in bone white, caramel, and charcoal brown. These colors glide on so nicely without the chalkiness usually associated with affordable eyeshadows - the texture of the powder is quite fine and smooth. Am I surprised? Yes and no. Yes because for the price I expected less, no because we're talking about Etude House. :)
The three colors are perfect together if you wish to do the gradient look (dark brown on the lids, caramel on the crease, white on the brow bone). They're also great separately as supporting colors for your other eyeshadows! The caramel one is particularly ideal as a crease/blending color with any lid color.
Smoky eyes in three steps: darkest on the lid, blend with medium color on crease, then blend with the white up to the brow bone. Easy peasy.
I would definitely call these three must-have neutral shades! Even before I got this EH palette I use different incarnations of these colors all the time. The colors are okay when used as is although they won't come out as intense when applied on top of a proper primer. So yeah, use a primer.
Overall, I am loving the Etude House Dolly 3-Step Eyes in Cute Doll. The three eyeshadows are great together and quite versatile apart, plus their formula is verrrry good for the price. Nothing to dislike in this one. So, if you're looking for a new palette, I would recommend you check this out!
Other variants have shimmer, FYI.

I think this is supposed to be included in your previous post. :) Affordable products that should cost more :) Well, it's from Etude so no wonder :) they are very affordable and great for girls who want to start their own makeup kits :) i love this palette and the colors are so wonderful!
Wow.. very nice palette from Etude House.. Thank you so much for the demonstration.. It is so must for a kikay girl to experiment in eye shadow colors. And to look good, you really have a say on how to enhance beauty in three-easy steps..
Colors are great! This look is more office friendly compared to the previous tutorial. :)
These look promising :) Are these the only combinations available? Not that I don't like the 3 palettes shown here but I'm afraid I might end up hurting my wallet again if there's more :P The second palette shouts "TGIF! I wanna party!!!" :P
Wow, this will be another part of the browns eyeshadow collection for smokey eye fanatics like us! :)
Wow! Lovely eyes you got there! :D I want the brown palette!
This eyeshadow palette is perfect for those who LOVE neutrals such as myself. Plus points to how handy and convenient it is to bring too. Smokey eyes for the win! :)

How cuuuuuuute! I'd get the peach, pink, and plum trio!
Yay for matte shadows! I'm tired of shimmer.
I agree with Tricia! Matte eyeshadows are as great and versatile as the shimmer ones. Love love Etude House! They really have great products. Thanks for this post! Im in the hunt for matte shadows :)
Just the combination of colors I've been looking for! :D will surely get this item. Those are really pretty colors Ms. Liz :D
Finally! I've been waiting for Etude House to release something like this. Getting this palette soon, definitely!
It's matte! I should definitely get it! I only have shimmery neutrals aotm and this would be better for everyday for me. :)
oooh! i like! this would be good for a day-time...another fabulous product from EH :D
It looks shimmery in the palette but when you apply it,it's actually not. I wonder if it will work well on my oily lids. But I think the solution for it is a good eye primer :)
This would go well with Etude's Proof 10 lid primer. So affordable yet works :)
I've been waiting for your review on this! :) Hooray. I tried out one of their eye shadow singles and I loved it. Glad to know the palette is of good quality as well. I love the heart patterns on the shadow :) I'll be sure to grab a few more of these to fill up my Z-Palette hehe
This looks promising and the longer I stare, the more I am tempted to buy this! Lol. I'm starting to love etude and I'm into the stage of getting to know their products. Good thing you have review of the few stuffs that I seemingly like --- a great help for someone who is noob when it comes to make-up.
@ManilaJen, wow thank you for mentioning that. I didn't know Etude has a lid primer. I'll add this to my list-to-buy. ^^
Ate, I'm so tempted to buy this! Pero I don't have any evening events to go to. Is it too much for a daytime affair lang?
I want this so bad pero it's forever out of stock at their boutiques. Aakk!!
wow this is cute! wow this is nice! i like!
