LORAC PRO Matte & Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette, Metallic High Pigmented, Mirror Compact

This is a nice smaller size eye palette. I love Lorac and have used it before. I always know it’s going to fill the bill and be dependable.

Colors are nice and heavily pigmented, at least compared to the Naked palette I've been using for years. Goes on smoothly and blends well.

This came highly recommended and it lives up to it. Love the matte and neutral shades. It brightens your eyes and is longe wear that lasts

This is almost the perfect palate. The colors are exactly what I was looking for, they go on beautifully, and the number of options is wonderful. It doesn’t bother my eyes at all. The only downside is that compared to my old palette I feel like the colors come off much faster and aren’t as pigmented as I would like. Still recommend it, bc the price is great for this many colors and it’s not bad quality, just not the best.**edit to add- I just read that applying with finger works better than a brush, I need to try this. I’ve only used my brushes so far. Will update after I do.

Applies smoothly and lasts

Favorite eyeshadow ever!

I recently decided to give Lorac shadows a try. This palette was a perfect first-time buy from them, but I have to say that I am not entirely impressed. It could be the brushes I have (Morphe REALLY let me down) although I think it really is the shadow itself. It's not quite as pigmented as I would like! It also isn't quite as a easy to blend as some other palettes I have. To give a full overview, let's break this review down into multiple parts:SIZE: It's about the size of my hand which is what I had expected. There is certainly a good amount of product here for your money! I was quite pleased with that. I don't expect to hit pan anytime soon, even if I use it regularly. I would recommend it as a traveling palette, or one that you keep in your purse for occasional touch-ups. However, that brings us to the next point...PIGMENT/BLENDING: These shades just aren't as pigmented as I would like. This means that I have to touch it up a couple times throughout the day in order to keep my eyes looking fresh. Which, again, is okay. It's small enough to take with you. It's just extra work. It's buildable, which means that the pigment doesn't matter as much. I guess. If you work with it and build and blend to your heart's content you can certainly get a great look! But I think I'll mainly be sticking to my Rainforest of the Sea palette from Tarte, or the Naked Basics by Urban Decay (both of which you should obviously check out). I've found that using this palette as a base and applying a shimmer to the center lid (such as "Sunset" from Rainforest of the Sea), it holds up all right. Make sure to prime, prime, prime!! I forgot ONCE to apply a primer (judge me, I was in a rush), and the creasing was unbelievable, as was the "wear-n-tear."COLOR SELECTION: Honestly, I'm disappointed I wasn't more "blown away" by this palette! The color selection is pretty great for me. These are ALL colors that I use on a regular basis... I mean, pretty much EVERY day. They're beautiful, neutral, matte, and professional. If you're looking for a solid neutral selection, you've found it (again, I'd recommend Naked Ultimate Basics over this, still, or even the Too Faced Chocolate Bar). Overall, I'm torn. The colors are great, and they're matte, and they're exactly what I wanted. I just wish they were more pigmented and didn't settle so easily!WORTH IT?: Yes. I think so. I don't necessarily regret this purchase... I just regret not being blown away by it. I have the Tantilizer bronzer from Lorac (which I LOVE, more than any other bronzer eveeeer). I figured that maybe i'd feel the same way about their palettes. I'll probably buy a different one at some point, but I'm hesitant to buy anything too, too expensive for the fear that it'll be the same as this one. It's a good price, a pretty all right palette, and a good addition to your collection. Then again, you could always go with UD or Tarte or even Too Faced and get something REALLY great!

I like this product. The colors are great and so far the product does not seem to affect my allergy eyes. Normally eye makeup will cause my eyes to be irritated and water. Many of the products I use (many name brands) bother my eyes and they are not suppose to. I will purchase again. I also like this since it is all matt colors.
