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

FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE
The 8 pan Pro Matte is my absolute favorite palette, I use it everyday and CANNOT live without it. I’ve repurchased multiple times for years now, and I hope it never ever EVER gets discontinued.The formula is great, the colors are everything I need for a simple neutral look. I’m very pale but can still use the white as an inner corner highlight, and I use the darkest brown and the black as my eyeliner 95 percent of the time. I think latte is my most used color and it’s the reason why I usually need to repurchase so often. The other colors are great as well.Travels well, perfect size for me.

Love the colors, wish they were longer lasting
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.

The perfect sultry neutral palette
If this color spectrum speaks to you and you’re looking to buy a new neutral palette, look no more, this is the *perfect* palette. The day-to-night color selection is marvelously broad! It allows you to create looks both across the range between warm and cool, with neutral right in between. Except for the topper shade by the name “White Diamond” (the shimmering white on my finger) which is a more sturdy to the touch, the shimmers and metallics are beyond gorgeously buttery. They feel unlike anything I previously owned collection, almost cool to the touch, the camera does not do them enough justice because in real life these shades reflect in more than one color, which truly gives that very “wet” look when light hits in different angles. The mattes are beginner friendly and a pro’s dream to work with, they’re silky smooth and can create so many looks alone. In fact, all the eyeshadows are so incredibly finely milled that they are probably going to be a challenge to travel safely with.This baby also multiplies as a changeable and reusable palette! If you ever want to customize your own, simply fold open the palette between the eyeshadows and sizable mirror, and using the included black little key just pop the shadows right out from behind. It also has a very luxurious weight to hold during your beauty time which is always a plus.All in all Lorac stole my heart! This is certainly worth the purchase!

Good, But Could Be Better
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!

J’aime beaucoup cette marque depuis longtemps….une jolie palette de fards neutres , les fards sont biens pigmentés, un peu de chutes mais rien de bien dérangeant….

Ho acquistato questa palette grazie a una recensione di miss penny 09, ne parlano in pochi su YouTube e non capisco perché! Con un ottimo prezzo ho una palette completa per realizzare dei look neutri ed eleganti con accenti più rock per la sera, scrivenza eccellente, si sfumano in un attimo e durano moltissimo, non so cosa si può voler di più… Sottolineo una cosa che in pochi hanno fatto notare, la palette è magnetica e con la chiavetta che trovate all’interno, aprendo il fondo, potete rimuovere gli ombretti per spostarli come volete o come ho fatto io per portarvene solo alcuni in vacanza (basta una palettina vuota magnetica tipo nabla)
