Lorac pro palette

I have heard nothing but rave comments about the Lorac Pro Palette so I decided to order one for myself to try out and review. As a beauty lover this particular palette intrigued me and when I read so many great things about it, I felt I had to test it out for myself.

The issue that I have is that I am not a makeup artist, so the 16 shades within the palette most likely will not get used to their full potential - although I am getting better (blend girl blend). I thought it would be awesome to review this product as someone who may not know how to professionally apply makeup but I do a decent job and know what works for me.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

The packaging was sleek. I like the black with the silver/white bold text that's very cool. The palette itself is smaller than what I expected - meaning that it was slimmer more compact- and you don't get that much product. The casing of the palette is cardboard and I don't think the mirror is very good, although, I don't think I would use it anyway.

The colours within the palette are beautiful, you get a great mixture of matte and shimmer tones which is perfect for every occasion. I have tried to experiment and I have been watching various makeup tutorials to try and get the right blend which has definitely helped.

The matte tones are my favourite eyeshadows for work, they are subtle but extremely long lasting. I love the fact that the palette has two types of eyeshadow which work well together and on their own. You can tell the overall palette is excellent quality because you don't get much excess when you use them and they stay on your eyes for a long time without creasing.

Honestly, overall I am extremely happy with this and would definitely recommend it. I have even ordered the LORAC PRO PALETTE 2!!
