Wait, how does the end result look straight up monochrome grey for me? Not a smidge of beige in sight. What is this sorcery? 😀

🔎 REVIEW:
🔸️Patchiness: no patchiness
🔸️Blendability: easy to blend out
🔸️Fallout: experienced some fallout; the most being from shade ‘Constrictor’
🔸️Shade Variance: this palette has a nice ‘light-to-dark’ gradient. There is a range of ‘neutral transition shades’ for a spectrum of skintones.
🔸️Formula:
Mattes: these mattes are nice, but they aren’t the best I’ve ever used. I really enjoy how well (& fast) they blend out. I just found that they don’t layer very well.
Metallic: the metallics are on the drier-side, & they do provide a full-coverage base. I also had an easy time getting this formula to look pigmented in some pretty small areas.
Supershock: this formula in an eyeshadow palette just entertains me. It’s not a great ‘palette-shadow’ because it’s so soft, that it just flakes itself all over every other shadow. It also does not have a base, so you can use this shade as a brilliant sparkling topper. It is extremely soft-to-the-touch, & cream-like.
🔸️Packaging: I think the packaging is just fine. Colourpop always has nice-looking palettes to me.
🔸️Recommendation: I’m trying to ‘broaden my horizens’ with Colourpop, so I decided to give this a shot. It was actually really fun to create an eye-look with this palette. I also foresee many different glam looks with this! I think this specific eye look is a great indication of what this palette can do! The price per shade is ‘excellent’. Each shadow pan holds an average amount of shadow. I do not think anybody would find difficulty in storing this palette. I am keeping this in my collection.
▪️If you are interested in this palette, I would recommend it.

I own this pallet. Smokey eyes are the easiest to do with it. The colors are warm taupey gray. Serving, blended, smokey eyes is a cinch with it.
Colorpop pallets always deliver for me.
I usually go for a warmer eye with corals and pinks, but the Taupe pallet is a great addition to my makeup ensemble.
