Makeup Revolution and affordable eyeshadow palettes are kind of synonyms. At least, that’s what I realized when I read their online reviews. So when the brand finally launched in India, I was super excited about owing at least one eyeshadow palette from them. In this post, you will find Makeup Revolution big love palette review and swatches.
It was one tough job zeroing in on only one!
Here are my thoughts on Makeup Revolution Big Love shadow Palette:
The palette comes packed in a bright pink glossy cardboard packaging with all the details mentioned on them. The palette opens easily and shuts down perfectly each time with a click sound.
As you can see, the eyeshadows are housed in three sections. Each section contains five eyeshadows that go well with each other. I absolutely love the names!
The eyeshadows are a mix of matte, satin, glitter and shimmer. The first house consists of eyeshadows belonging to neutral family. Leaving “Last Kiss” and “weave your magic”, all of the eyeshadows go on smoothly and are nicely pigmented. I do have to tap them 2-3 times to pack on good intensity but that’s okay. They also blend out well without me having to put in too much effort. I had apprehensions with regard to the glitter eyeshadows not blending well but glad to say that I was wrong. However, I need to be extra careful when packing them on my eye lids since the texture is very powdery.
Now coming to the staying power;
I have extremely oily eye lids. When I see them after an hour or so in summers after washing my face, the first picture that comes to my mind is that of a pool of vaseline. Yup! Hope you can imagine now!
I never wear eyeshadows without a primer and hardly ever without a creamy base underneath. So, testing eyeshadows without primer seems pretty much useless to me. It’s because I’ve oily eyelids. I used this palette a lot in winters. With the exception of shades Chameleons (yellow toned gold) and Weave your magic (charcoal Black), I wore all shades. Even after some 4-5 hours, the eyeshadows were very much there with negligible fading which is good. Of course, the staying power of some shades is higher compared to rest. When I set them using a finishing spray, they last for longer.
My favourite shades are “Into the night” which is a beautiful glittery copper (although not very glittery on eyes), absorbed (pink toned purple), simply stunning (beige with cool undertones) and Romantic moments (beautiful highlighting shade in satin finish).
Summary:
All in all, the palette is well worth its price! Leaving 2 shades from this palette, the other ones have a smooth texture and good staying power. If you have super oily eyelids like mine, I’ll recommend wearing an eye primer beneath to extend their longevity.
