   Im so amazed by this. I have had a lot of these palettes but this is my favourite. When I buy makeup I think how many different uses I get from it and when I looked at this I saw BLUSH, eyeshadow and highlighter. Also I like the way colors are so pigmented that it puts my Urban Decay Naked Smoky in shame. I am constantly Marie Kondoing my stuff but this is an ideal product for a minimalist. The colors are mostly pink red rose peach orange and brown but wearable and can look ethereal if you really just need a touch like an angels feather and then blend away.

   This is a great eyeshadow palette for the price . It’s actually really pigmented and you don’t need to use much for the color to appear . It has beautiful colors and it blends beautifully . This eyeshadow palette mostly includes pink shades and it’s beautiful !! I have nothing bad to say bout it . I highly recommend it !!

   Makeup revolution only recently became available near me so I really arrived late to the Newtrals party. I’ve had the Newtrals 2 palette for a while now and still not sure what exactly to think of it. I think it’s either awesome or underwhelming depending on what you look for in eyeshadow.

   I was hoping this would work for a natural, almost rustic look, expected slightly rosy lids with the brown rosewood shades in the outer corners, and was even thinking I could use the same palette on my cheeks. I don’t think I got a good idea of what to expect- those little sample pans in drugstores are so annoying because you have to dab in with your finger and never really know how the product will look applied with a brush. The way this applies isn’t natural looking at all, much less rustic lol. This is a Queen palette. HIGHLY pigmented and the rosy hues are actually very intense. I really don’t want various bright pinks on my eyes at all so it’s very difficult for me to get a subdued look with these. The deposits are crazy and it’s very hard to remove the excess. The brown shades are too dark for me and since it’s impossible to apply a light coat of this, I can’t use them. No way in hell can they pass as contour shade – “I smeared mud on my face” would be more fitting. There are a few shimmers in there that I didn’t care for at first
   but the shimmer isn’t too obvious and the champagne shade works nice in inner corners. They blend better than the mattes but are a bit frosty.

   It lasts long, both in the pan and on the face. Nice non chalky effect overall, except again for the shimmers that looked a bit frosty and chalky to me, not much, but I really want none of that in eye shadow.

   They layer well over each other, but I don’t find them too easy to blend. Once you touch the brush on the skin it’s like it leaves a stain there that won’t spread out, so you have to apply a thin coat over the entire area you want that shade, and good luck getting a thin coat. Great news for those who want coverage in one swipe.

   The shades actually stay where you put them, they don’t blend into one smear, not for the 8 hours or so I usually wore them, no fallout. Everything collects in my crease, but it was minor with these, and I don’t use primer as a base, just concealer.

   I thought my shade recognition is excellent, but some of the shades in this palette are so alike they each have like two freakishly close cousins, which is fine if you love these bright pinks, and exhausting to even think about if you can barely find a use for one. I kinda don’t get the point of that, they’re too alike to be considered one another’s transition shades so…?

   I can’t really take down lippies for the shades and intensity though as actually this product did what all eyeshadows should’ve been doing all the time- proper color deposit, good longevity and shades that actually look somewhat like they look in the pan. If other eyeshadow has taught you to look at it thinking “only 1/3 of that will show up anyway”, remember Newtrals are no b.s. with their shades.

   The formula didn’t irritate my eyes or skin, which was a relief.

   The packaging is okay. I mean, I ask nothing special of it anyway and it doesn’t break, the shadows don’t crumble or crack so all good as far as I’m concerned.

   I blew it with this one, choosing the wrong palette, but will be looking at the shade range of their other palettes. I would be more inclined to buy one with no shimmers, in lighter, actually natural, nude shades next time. Preferably they’d come out with monos or trios, because it’d be annoying if the next palette too had three almost exact shades of each.

   This was apparently targeted at people who want bold, bright looks, and to those, I recommend.
