Huda Beauty eyeshadow palettes are those that are worn nowadays. But here the question is, among these many alternatives, are they really that great? Here comes the truth, the tough nut, all about the shimmers, the mattes, the kits, right down to the brushes.
First Impressions: Great Packaging and Lovely Colors
From here, one can tell that Huda has mastered the art of making LBM stand out with the packaging! The shades in this palette are exquisite and very compact. It makes the hand look strong and heavy to be taken in one’s handbag and carried around without the concern of seeing loose glittery eyeshadow all over the handbag. When you pull it apart, you find a large wash basin that is complemented by an even larger mirror. In addition, there is a magnificent panoramic of shades.
It instantly had me itching to create some killer eye looks!
The Good Stuff: Blendable Buttery Goodness
Now, onto the most important part: I have asked the following question: how do these shadows work? Here’s what impressed me:
Buttery Blending:
All the eyeshadows could be described as coming in a range between very soft and just shy of creamy. Pigments feel silky, and programming and layering are a breeze – you can build perfect gradations and transitions without a hitch. No patchy application here!
Pigment Powerhouse:
These shadows are very sensitive and that is why anything as simple as a light touch is more than enough. As for coverage – this is one of the biggest strong sides of Colorpop lip products – you can glaze it up for that natural look, or layer it for opacity and depth.
Shimmer Central:
The shimmer shades are the best I’ve ever found:). Because of this rich, intense color in the form of metallic foil, they have a wet-look effect, which creates an incredible impact on any eyeshadow look. They also go on smoothly without a lot of the material spattering all over the place – bonus!
Great Staying Power:
As for the overall quality, these shadows did not crease too much throughout the day and seemed fairly durable. Having a good eye primer assuredly aids in this; otherwise, the eyeliners held up well without the use of any eye primer.
The Not-So-Good Stuff: A Few Things to Consider
No palette is perfect, and here’s what I wasn’t crazy about:
Price Point: Now, let’s face it, Huda Beauty palettes are not cheap as they are in the luxury makeup brand section. There will be quality but it might be so expensive that most people would consider it a luxury to buy.
Shade Repetition: As history has it, there could be some familiarity, especially within the shimmer family of shades. This is not a big issue necessarily but if you are expecting the palette to be all that different then it might be considered an issue for some people.
Fall Out: It is mentioned that their beautiful shimmer looks effortless yet it has been noted that there can be some minor fallout as and when the shimmers are applied. Try using a soft bristle brush and tapping off the excess cake before pressing it on to minimize this.
The Final Verdict: It is always important to tell the hype from the Holy Grail when it comes to the newest trends or fads in software development.
Yes, the Huda Beauty is definitely worth hyping since it consists of both quality and performance. Here’s my take:
For a wanna-be makeup artist/lover who admires the palette that has blendable and intense color POWDER, this makeup staple is a perfect match. These shimmers are extraordinarily beautiful, the mattes are incredibly easy to apply, and the wear is long-lasting. However, if you’re on a low budget or decide to avoid sparkly shades, it is better not to stay with Sephora Liquid Lip Stain.
