🔎 REVIEW:
🔸️Patchiness: no patchiness
🔸️Blendability: very easy to blend
🔸️Fallout: experienced lots of fallout, the most being from matte shade ‘Black’
🔸️Shade Variance: there is a nice range of light, midtone, & deep shades. There are a few traditional ‘neutral transition shades’ for a range of skintones.
🔸️Formula: the mattes surprised me for being as blendable as they were – I had absolutely no issue with them. The metallics were pronounced & beautiful. I honestly didn’t expect them to be as excellent as they were. The matte black (in my opinion) isn’t black enough – it’s more like a dark charcoal grey. However – it’s NOT patchy, so I can appreciate that. There were no duds in this palette.
🔸️Packaging: there’s nothing wrong with this packaging; I do enjoy the compactness of the palette.
🔸️Recommendation: This little palette impressed me! Being my first Violet Voss palette – I wasn’t very familiar with the formula. Every shade plays a role in the overall color story, & there are boundless creative looks to be made. The price per shade is actually on the higher end, & I’m not sure I like paying $36 for such a small palette. The palette itself is easy to store. I am keeping this in my collection. I would recommend this particular palette, only if you don’t mind paying a higher price per shade – but the formula won’t let you down.
