LORAC PRO PALETTE

PRODUCT: LORAC Pro Palette

PRICE: 2450Php

BOUGHT AT: Shopfromtheusa (instagram seller) 

In took me a year to finally splurge into Lorac Pro Palette. I was hesitant at first, thinking that it may not be worth the money since I do not wear eyeshadow everyday. 

Well, I guess I'm wrong. 

 DESCRIPTION

"Go PRO with the LORAC PRO Palette! Created by celebrity makeup artist Carol Shaw, this PRO artistry palette is packed with 8 Shimmer and 8 Matte Eye Shadows in all the shades you need to create the hottest looks straight from the Red Carpet. LORAC’S velvety-smooth shadows are infused with soothing botanicals and are ultra-pigmented to perform wet or dry so you can shade, shadow, line and define your eyes, just like a PRO.

PRO Palette Contains 16 Eye Shadows and a Mini Behind The Scenes Eye Primer for stay-true color that lasts, a PRO must-have!"

I only wear eyeshadows on special days, occasions and events but not during school days. However, Lorac Pro Palette was just so good I cant stop using it!

From day to night looks, this palette provides everything you need to achieve that eye makeup like a pro. Appropriate selection of color combination and proper blending could also be a factor.  

( I Used Slate, Champagne, Espresso and Nude) 

The color combinations are great, perfect mixture of matte and shimmer to balance out each other, and all of the shades are highly pigmented. However, they are a little bit powdery, have some fall outs so tapping off the excess can be of great help to prevent it. Also, the palette is very lightweight, though its kinda bulky to bring everyday. 

Overall, even though the price is steep I do not regret buying this. This is worth the money and it also contains a lot of product inside that would last up to years! Hehe

When I first got it, I was a little shocked of how little the tubes were. Not knowingly, I immediately squeezed the product, and oh hell the product is oozing with pigments! I should say, they are heavily pigmented! Just a tiny winy size does the job on my lips. 

Aside from its heavenly- pigments, I could not ask for more in terms of longevity. I like to use anime in 2 coats then I'll blot after then apply another coat.  That way, it stays on me even after eating or drinking. Even after I ate that unforgiving oily meal I had, the stain was still there. However its not the same vibrancy as to the first application but the point is the color is still emphasized! Woohoo Finally found the lip stain that would last! 

The set comes in 4 Matte Shades: 

1. Black Dahlia - Blackend Red

2. Anime- Neon Pink

3. NSFW- Balanced red

4. Memento-pink/plum neutral

NSFW - A beautiful classic red, that kind of red that superstars wear on redcarpets. 

BLACk DAHLIA- Looks black on tube, however once being applied, the color is completely different. A dark, plum with slight redness and fuchsia. 

ANIME- A very loud color, gives that hot pink lips that would surely turn heads! 

MEMENTO- you can never go wrong with this shade, from heavily dramatic eyes down to a simple one, memento would look perfectly great! A subtle neutral pink and some plum to it.
