face palette · $128 · danessamyricksbeauty.com, Sephora UK
One of my favorite releases of the year.▶ 32:00–32:04
The shades are like creamy and look smooth and luxurious on the eyelids.▶ 32:20–32:26
I'm always going to go to that palette before I go to these sticks.▶ 32:26–32:30
eyeshadow palette · $119.00 · Hourglass Cosmetics, Sephora UK
These palettes were so dry. They were so dry and dusty. They just didn't have the pigmentation that I wanted.▶ 8:15–8:25
Honestly felt like a product from like years ago.▶ 8:25–8:30
This just seemed like something that I would find maybe at the drugstore.▶ 8:42–8:49
The finishes were not elegant. The shimmer shades were just kind of like chunky and patchy.▶ 8:49–8:55
Love you, Hourglass. Hate these eyeshadow palettes.▶ 9:16–9:19
eyeshadow palette · $98.00 · Sephora, makeupbymario.com
I didn't like the first palette. I didn't like the second palette. Why did I buy the third palette?▶ 14:43–14:50
I didn't think it would be possible for this one to be worse than the other two, but unfortunately it is.▶ 14:50–14:58
The mattes, I would say are somewhat similar to the other palettes. They are not my favorite formula. They are really really overly powdery.▶ 15:36–15:43
The resulting effect sometimes, if you're not careful, is very patchy on the eyes.▶ 15:50–15:55
I found those shades, those shimmers to be quite dry and also very irritating to my eyes.▶ 16:10–16:18
The shimmer shades are just like so dry. They're so dry and dusty.▶ 16:45–16:50
I actually returned this palette.
eyeshadow palette · matte · $49.00 · Sephora, hungvanngobeauty.com, bronzeom.com
The formula of these is exceptional. It's much more professional, definitely pigmented, definitely like high shine, high metallic, buildable.▶ 25:42–25:47
eyeshadow palette · $55.00 · Dior, Sephora, Harrods
The Dior Backstage palettes, they often do sort of like monochromatic color stories as well. Some of them are permanent, some of them are seasonal, but if you want something that's a little bit more of like that softer character, then I would recommend those over the Charlotte Tilbury.▶ 26:10–26:15
eyeshadow palette · $130.00 · Sisley Paris, John Lewis
This is the type of creamy, pigmented, luxurious type of formula that I think is actually worth the money.▶ 9:53–10:02
I think the Toffee shade is beautiful.▶ 10:07–10:13
The ones from Sisley are at the top of my list.▶ 10:16–10:22
eyeshadow palette · $60.00 · Charlotte Tilbury
I don't think that they belong on the top shelf.▶ 23:56–24:01
I think that the packaging is like super cheap and drugstore feeling for the price.▶ 24:17–24:27
I find that the formula is just so glittery in a very very chunky type of way, not in a smooth finely milled way.▶ 24:27–24:33
I just found these to create so much fallout.▶ 24:48–24:53
They emphasize so much texture on the eyes.
The formula just wasn't there for me.▶ 25:10–25:14
eyeshadow palette · $44.00 · Viseart Paris
Beautiful neutral shades with some pops of olive and kind of like olivey gold. Very on trend for this year going into 2026.▶ 10:33–10:39
The color story is very similar to the Makeup by Mario. It's kind of like neutral, maybe slightly cool-toned palette with pops of olive green. There's some beautiful bright golds in there.▶ 17:42–17:47
A much better professional, like actual makeup artist formula.▶ 18:07–18:14
