For those of you on Instagram you may be familiar with what went on between Kat Von D and the brand Makeup Revolution. Makeup Revolution is a budget brand that make quite good items and try to dupe higher end ones. Makeup Revolution decided to create their own version of this palette which looks like a straight up copy. This didn't go unnoticed by Kat Von D.
This palette has 12 matte colors in all neutral shades. The colors are separated off into three different color groups allowing you to create a different look with each one. There are no rules in makeup, so you are free to blend them, wear them alone or mix and match the color combinations.
I love creating dramatic looks and this palette is perfect for creating them. I liked to wear the colors together to create one unique look. The paler colors made really good base and highlighter colors. Matte eyeshadows can be drying, but these ones seem to be very good and are not powdery or at all dry. I really don't like eyeshadows that have a powdery texture. They also did a good job of blending together too. Once on they didn't crease or fade and stayed on all day.
My favorite look out of the three was the middle one as I love a matte white color for highlighting. Plus the black is lovely and intense.
I've seen a bit about this palette around and the shades included seem like they would be right up my street, I may just have to treat myself. Thank you.

DeleteOh dear to the copycats on Instagram. I hate that. Yet another great look, the palette is wonderful and looks beautiful on you (as always)
ReplyDeleteI can understand dupes and taking inspiratrtion, but it was obvious that MUR's was just a copy. They copied Ben Nye's Banana Powder too, even called it exactly the same name too x

ReplyDeleteYeah the colors are fab x
DeleteLove the sets of colours in the palette. I'm preferring mattes when it comes to my eyeshadow at the moment
ReplyDeleteSome mattes like these are fab x
DeleteAbsolutely love the shades! I love quite natural colours so this is exactly what I'd go for if I was deciding to be a bit more adventurous!

ReplyDeleteThanks x
DeleteSuch a beautiful palette its looks beautiful on you i want to have this kind of palette.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing. Don't get the Makeup Revolution one even though it is a lot cheaper. I wouldn't buy their palette on principal as they didn't just dupe it, they made a straight up copy. Even called it Light And Shade. Was obvious they copied it x
DeleteI've never tried the Kat Von D range, but I love the colors of the palette you chose!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of this, I have never tried this brand, but it looks really lovely. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's an amazing palette x
