Makeup Revolution London Euphoria Eyeshadow & Contour (Bronzed)
Hello Everyone,
First let's talk about the packaging. The packging is sleek and sturdy so it's a boon pallete to take for trips or if you travel a lot for work Makeup Revolution London are just the palettes for you. It comes in a box like most other palettes which has the name, the shade and the contents written on it.
On the back of the palette the shades are given but the shades have no names soo that is a drawback. The shades are a little difficult to refer to.
But one of the best features of the palette is the huge mirror the comes with it. It is undoubtable one of the best quality palette mirrrors I have come across. It is huge, super clear and amazing for doing makeup. There are times when I prefer working with this palette mirror than my own makeup table mirrors.
( I kept the mirror facing my window and by the reflection you can make out how clear it is )
The last part of the packaging is the sponge-tip applicator that comes with the palette and as usual all sponge-tip applicators are useless to work with.
Now coming to the shades, the eyeshadows consist of 3 highlight shades and 3 dark glittery shades.
(The 3 Shimmer Highlight Eyshadow Shades)
These light shades are perfect for a daytime or a slight highlighted eyes for going to the office. Nothing very dramatic but gives fresh and subtly luminous look when applied alone as one colour.
(The 3 Darker Glitter Eyeshadow Shades)
These are mainly night time colours with more glitter more bolder look. Good for parties or dates or any night event.
The swatches are given below :) :
Shade 1: This is the lightest creamish white highlight eyeshadow shade with gold undertones
Shade 2: This is a shimmery highlight shade with slight pink undertones.
Shade 3: The third highlight eyeshadow is beige in colour with silver shimmer in it
Shade 4: The fourth shade of the palette looks like a dark olive green colour when you see it in the palette with golden glitter. But when you apply it on your eyes its comes more of a dark golden than green with slight green tint undertone. So basically you can refer to this colour as dark gold with a very slight greenish tint.
Shade 5: This colour is a dark purple shimmery colour with brown undertones. It is not superdark but it is a unique shade and can be worked with.
Shade 6: The most pigmented colour of the entire eyeshadow series of this palette. It is a deep golden colour with slight copper undertone and it screams pigmentation.
Now coming to the face part of the kit , the palette has 1 matte contour powder which is a little on the warm tone side . Now personally I am on the fairish side of skin tones so if you are on the fairer side or white skinned then this is the perfect contour powder for you. Mind you it won't give you super dramatic heavy contoured look like that of the Kardashians but it will give you a very very natural lightly contoured look. I will not recommend this for wheatish tones or dusky beauties as it might not show up.
The highlight is one of the most amazing highlights I have come across in drugstores. Its creamy satin like in texture and immensly pigmented. The creamy champagne highlight of this palette is just the thing for achieving the natural dewy highlighted look. But do remember for such a pigmented highlight less is more :)
The blush is a pink blush with golden shimmer in it . It acts both as a blush and a subtle highlighted to the cheeks . It is one of the most natural looking blush on the skin I have come across.
