Yay, I was lucky enough to have the chance to create more customisable palettes because if you saw my previous post based on Beautonomy (here) then you'd know I was really pleased with how they had turned out. Last time the palettes were quite colourful, bright and bold which is out of a lot of peoples comfort zones (including my own) however this time round I wanted to do something a little different...
I was super impressed with the glitters from the last collar so I thought I would include a palette with some really gorgeous shades as well as try out some of their face pans. We have a blush, a light-medium bronzer (must warn you that it is quite fair) and a light champagne highlighter alongside four glitter shadows. The reason why I was so in awe over the glitter shadows is that you don't even need a base to make them pop or to stick. They're not super chunky yet they are still very glittery and personally think the formula is amazing, much better than the glitter I had in my Huda palettes yet thats double the price! The face pans are perfect shades for me and they blend so well. If the shades aren't for you then you can always customise to your taste. One thing I will say though is there isn't a HUGE range of shades you can choose from as they are quite generic which is a shame but I guess as the brand grows then hopefully they will include a variety as you know there a bunch of skin tones out there. Also, the highlight isn't very blinding so just be warned, it's VERY subtle which is what I would change.
This is the new BACK TO BASICS palette. I really wanted to include more neutrals and brown tones because you know, who doesn't love a brown shadow? We have a mixture of formulas here including mattes, shimmers and a duo chrome (Ca Phe) so don't be fooled by the range of colours as there is a lot to create here. One thing I am impressed by is the pigment (which you can see by the swatches below) because my god, these are pigmented but not hard to blend at all, in fact each of the mattes are very smooth and soft. The shimmer shadows are a bit chunky but because they are so pigmented, I don't mind! Also, the 'Brown' and 'Dark Brown' shadows can also be used for your eyebrows which works really well too. I really love this palette and I hope you do too.
