Review | Make Up Revolution Essential Mattes Palette.


Matte eyeshadows are my favourite for everyday wear, finding decent matte eyeshadows can be something of a issue though, but this palette completely rectifies that! The packaging isn't anything astounding, just plastic casing that feels relatively sturdy to the touch. The clear window is useful in that you can tell which palette it is (I have three of these, so it comes in handy), but I do foresee it getting scratched quite easily. These palettes hold 14g of product and have a little sponge applicator tucked into them. 

As the name of the palette suggests, these eyeshadows are all matte. I find the colour range to be satisfactory for a neutral palette, but a lot of the lighter colours are quite similar, the inclusion of the purples on the end is a nice plus though, particularly for someone with a love of purple!


With regards to texture, I don't find these to be too bad! They're a little powdery, but they're certainly not the worst they could be. They apply nice and evenly, and they're easy enough to blend when on the lids.  I don't find they look muddy when blended together either. The pigmentation is nice, particularly on the darker shades. As I said, a lot of the lighter shades are quite similar, only the undertones differing very slightly - this might seem a waste to some people, but I use that sort of shade as a base, for blending out, for highlighting, plenty of uses for a light matte shade! 


As you can see, the pigmentation isn't too bad at all. Particularly for such a budget brand! The only thing I'm not too happy about is the lack of truly warm shades in this palette. I've been looking for a replacement for the warm tannish brown shade in my Sleek Oh So Special palette for a while and nothing quite fits the bill :( This is a nice palette in its own right though, and I'm really pleased with it, especially for the price.

These are available from the Make Up Revolution Store, and Superdrug online. I think they'll eventually be available in store in Superdrug, but I'm not entirely sure. These palettes cost £4 each, which is so ridiculously cheap and such good value! I'd absolutely recommend picking one of these up if you like matte neutral shades, I love mine.
