🔎 REVIEW:
🔸️Patchiness: no initial patchiness, but I did get some patchiness after application – after my shadow sat on my lid for about 10 minutes, it started creasing & becoming very patchy looking.
🔸️Blendability: very easy to blend out
🔸️Fallout: experienced some fallout, the most being from shade called ‘Void’
🔸️Shade Variance: this palette has a nice ‘light-to-dark’ gradient. There are no traditional ‘neutral transition’ shades.
🔸️Formula:
Mattes: the mattes are what makes the Kaleidos formula so remarkable. Close to feeling like a cream shadow, they have a superior consistency. They are ultra-pigmented whilst still remaining VERY easily blendable. I never run into any issues building or layering this formula.
Shimmers: there are two types of shimmers in this palette, those with a base pigment, & those without one. I like both equally. Depending on what type of look you want to create, there is definitely a shimmer to match. These feel VERY soft, & are extremely pleasant to work with. They also pick up very nicely on a brush, which is an aspect I always prefer.
🔸️Packaging: Although bulky, I like this packaging. It’s a little something different, & it DEFINITELY goes the extra mile to protect the fragile cargo within.
🔸️Recommendation: I’ve been waiting until I felt motivated enough to dig into this palette – & today is the day! It’s a very bold color-story, providing a variety of depth, so you can get SO many different looks out of it. When I opened the cover, I automatically new what type of eye look I wanted to do – something to showcase the beautiful yet unexpected range of color inside. The only thing that I DON’T like about this palette, is that I really did end up with creasing & patchiness (even though I prepped the area hardcore). The price per shade is ‘affordable’. Each pan holds a below-average amount of shadow. This palette may be difficult to store due to its elaborate packaging. I am keeping this in my collection.
▪️If you are interested in this palette, I would recommend it.
