Anastasia Beverly Hills is a Cruelty-free brand and the collaboration with famous influencer Jackie Aina released the most unique and must-have palette of ever I must say. It’s a limited edition palette and I purchased it from SEPHORA USA for 54$. I don’t regret it at all as this palette is a unique piece in my collection.
Packaging
The Palettes’ outer packaging is a foil animal print packaging and it just caught my eyes as soon as I saw it at the Store. The most versatile eyeshadow palette and Indian skin tone friendly palette I have used from ANASTASIA. These shades work well with any skin tone that’s a commendable creation Right there!!!!
It’s a very unique and colorful palette to have in your collection as it has a wide array of vibrant color scheme. The palette has 14 colorful shades which includes 6 Matte shades and 8 Metallic shades. The texture is very different with the 8 metallic shades which include Dual chrome and shimmery shades. The palette comes with a standard dual ended brush and a mirror which I use a lot while I travel.
There a nice mix of depth, undertone and finish to create plenty of looks. The left side of the palette has a pink/purple color scheme whereas the right side is more warm toned which has green and brown toned shades.
Below are the hand swatches of the eyeshadow palette.
The shades are buttery soft to touch and very easy to blend on your eye lids. The shades are little bit powdery. Applying little pressure on the colors transfers good pigmentation on your lids. I use a shadow primer to intensify the longevity of the shadows and their pigmentation definitely enhances.
You can achieve any kind of looks from cool to warm toned and shimmery evening looks to everyday basic looks. The palette is beginner friendly and even makeup artists can use them too. I prefer using them for all the occasions say it a wedding or any festivity.
Palette Review : 5 / 5
Here are a few looks I created with this standalone palette.
FEW TIPS WHILE APPLYING EYESHADOWS
- I apply my eyeshadows first and then do my face makeup. This way my face makeup is fresh and I don’t have to mend it later if there is fallout of shadows. Have you faced any such issues? But, ultimately it’s your preference.
- Applying shadow primer before doing the eye makeup is always the key to well blended eyemakeup look and I follow the same on my clients too.
- Metallic shades can be applied with your fingers to intensify the shadows which you use on eyelids.
- For more eyeshadow performance, I prefer to use a setting spray on my brush after picking up the product from the palette.
- To create high impact liner looks, do use a liner brush to apply along the lash line.
