PRO Palette

I finally purchased this palette after lusting after it for months and I'm so glad I did. The range of looks you can create with this are countless even for hooded eyes like mine. My one complaint is there is a ton of fall out with particularly every color. However the colors are hyper pigmented and blend very easily making the fall out a minor issue in comparison. The colors also complement each other very well, and I love the even balance between matte and shimmer. This is a great palette for hooded eyes because there are plenty of colors that can recess the hood (mauve, taupe, are beautiful) and plenty of colors to accentuate the visible lid (nude, gold, champagne) All and all I can't believe I waited that long to purchase this amazing palette!

I absolutely love this palette. I actually was debating between this or a Naked palette, but after some research, I went with Lorac. And I'm glad I did. The amount of mattes are what drew me in, and the colors are perfect for everyday. The shadows are buttery, soft and silky, are very pigmented, and they blend like a dream. The primer it comes with is excellent and the shadows last all day (I work in a steamy kitchen area and nothing fades or budges!). The only cons I have are that the packaging gets dirty easily because of the rubberized finish, and the shade Champagne has a lot of fall out because of the chunks of glitter. It's a pretty color regardless, but I just wish the fall out wasn't so bad. Overall though, I do highly suggest this palette for any occasion.

I feel like a heathen giving this less than 5 stars since this is a cult classic... I guess i expected perfection based on the hype. The shadows are very basic. It feels like a starter palette. None of the colors are outstanding, original, or even particularly interesting. They are just the basics, shades every makeup lover should have in their collection, but not exciting by any means. The shadows are pigmented, they last, they are smooth and they blend well, which is the least you could ask of a pricey palette like this. BUT, I do not enjoy the matte shades, which is half the palette. They are extremely soft and break up into powder the minute your brush touches them, which wastes product. Then when you go to apply them, the powder falls on your face and ends up where you don't want it. For instance, I pick up a little matte brown for my crease, and the pigment falls onto my lid and cheek, and cleaning it up is a pain. The only way to avoid this is to go in with as little product as you can muster at a time and blending carefully as you go, which is time consuming. That said, this is a nice palette. I just expected more, especially from the matte shades. I've had it for a couple months and have only used it a handful of times. I am not inclined to reach for it the way I reach for my other palettes, including some drugstore ones. I'm happy to have it in my collection, but I don't think the hype is warranted.

This is the best eyeshadow I have ever used even better than urban decays naked pallets. It's extremely pigmented so I would advise using a light hand. I haven't experienced any noticable fallout, even on the shimmery colors. Also, the primer in this is AMAZING. My eyeshadow use to always crease due to me being fairly active and having hooded eyes but now it lasts the day:).

This was my birthday present in july. It's now december. I use this palette and the primer every single day. Yes I still have the primer!! You need the tiniest drop and your eyeshadow goes creaseless all day. And I have hooded eyes with very oily skin so that's some good eye primer! The colors are well pigmented. I like a slightly lighter pigmented eyeshadow so i can build it to my desire and this stuff really does the trick! It can be light fluffy and transitional or it can be entirely opaque! either way it lasts all day and the fallout is minimal to none!
