I think the mattes with the glitter apply nicely and blend easily. If you tap your brush you can tap off most of the loose glitter. You can also apply the color with a brush then tap it on with your finger to apply/keep the glitter on. I wound also recommend using a glitter or loose pigment primer.
I love the metallics/shimmers in this palette and love this color story in general. Here is a step by step on this look.
The palette is currently on sale for $11 as part of Colourpop’s “last call” sale so if you’re interested, now’s the best time to buy!
Here I am again with another colourpop palette, oops 🙂
I’m sure there are others who, like me, make impulsive purchases knowing they might not use what they buy or try to go out of their comfort zone.
I liked almost everything from the Take it to Baroque collection with the exception of the lux liquid lip glosses (3 in the collection) and the Baroque palette so the collector in me got the entire collection. >.<
Colourpop Baroque palette
So, I have this palette with colors I never use, now what. Well, guess I’ll just put some colors on my lids
Then I applied Lounge to the outer third and blended it into the crease
I applied Secret all over the lid, first with a pencil then tapped it into my lid to try to get some of beautiful periwinkle glitter on the lid. The sequence formula doesn’t really transfer that well out of the pan.
I used some NYX glitter glue over secret and applied Ritzy over it from the middle to the inner corner.
Then I applied Noble over the middle towards the out third.
My final first impression thoughts on the palette are that the formulas are easy to use, pigmented and blend out nicely. The colors are beautiful and the colors story is perfect together.
Even if you don’t use these colors often, I’d recommend giving this palette a try!
As much as I love seeing creative holiday looks and would like to be more adventurous and editorial with my makeup I don’t foresee myself doing it anytime soon. That doesn’t mean I can enjoy a good Halloween collection though!
Last year Makeup Revolution released the Forever Flawless Haunted House palette and, after missing out on it the first go around, I decided to purchase it. Even if it was just because of the tin, oops >.<
Not only is the tin eye catching but the names are perfectly fitting for the theme!
Fortunately, the color story is something I can work with and the quality matches the rest of their Forever Flawless line.
I don’t limit palettes to seasons so have used this throughout the year but I did chose this as one of my monthly palettes for this month.
Something I noticed and was excited about it, is that within this palette I can see how my comfort levels have changed.
Last year I wound have completely stayed away from Decrepit, Petrify, Creepy and Undead but this year they were the first colors I gravitated to!
Peril in the crease blending up towards the brow
Decrepit in the crease, keeping it lower than Peril and blending it in the outer 1/3 of my lid building it up on the outer 1/3
Added Petrify to 1/3 of my lid to darken it up more, blending it towards the center of my lid
I used NYX Glitter Primer on the inner half of my lid focusing it more in the inner 1/3, patting it on. Wait a few seconds to let out dry
Apply Creak over primer with my finger or flat brush gently swiping it when you get to the center of the lid towards the outer edge to blend between the shimmer and matte shade
Clean up under the eye for any fallout, do remainder of face
Peril all over lash line
Decrepit in outer 1/3 lower last blending towards center
With my eye closed I took a small dense brush and applied Nightmare at my upper and lower lash line to darken it up a bit and give a blurred liner look
Afterwards I took a thin flat liner brush and tight lined my upper lash with Decrepit (but the brush and product tight into my lash line)
Applied Phantom between Peril and my eyebrow
Took a lip brush, I like these because they’re small and tightly packed which makes them perfect for picking up and precisely placing product in an area, and used Creep in the inner corner to add some brightness to the look
Did you pick up this palette? Or are you picking up this year’s?
Hope everyone has a great rest of their day and week!
My goal for the year is to hit pan on at least three shades in my Morphe 25B, which is one of the first Morphe palettes I ever bought. I’m keeping it out and with me to use even just for transition shades but honestly this palette is great on its own! I used Pat McGrath Flesh 3 lipstick and while I love the color I am super disappointed in the product. I bought the three mini set and this one came broken at the base. The product also seems a bit dry when applying but as you apply the color becomes creamier.Eyes: #1 in the crease to brow bone #2 lower in the crease to deepen #3 outer 1/3 of lid and slightly into crease #4 on middle 1/3 of lid #5 on inner 1/3 of life Blend #3, #4 and #5 along seems Lower lash use #1, #2 and #3
