![]() Instead of quirky monikers, shadows are aptly named by their hue, which falls in line with the no nonsense packaging (though I always believed Champagne to be a light goldish substance and Nude to be a skintone color). The range of colors provided made sure I had light, medium and dark colors to complete any look I desire. Shadows can be used wet or dry but I've never needed to intensify any if the shades (and besides, who has time to run off and wet their brush when they're hurriedly getting ready in the morning?). Ive never had a problem with the shadows developing an oily film from either my fingers or brushes, unlike my elf shadows. With my oily eyelids, however, I always wear eye primer and that makes these shadows crease proof and vibrant throughout the day, no touch ups necessary. Due to the butteriness of the shadows, they adhere well to my lids, even without primer. ![]() Only one shade is inconsistent, Champagne, but it's hardly a disappointment when compared at large with other shadows. LORAC THE RESORT EYE AND FACE CHEEK PALETTE NEW IN BOX 24.99 Free shipping or Best Offer LORAC MEGA PRO w/Receipt 32 Shade Eyeshadow Palette Mega Pro NEW (1) 49.99 11.30 shipping lorac cheek palette 15.00 5. They add a subtle glistening effect without large chunks of glitter falling into my eyes. The shimmer shadows are some of my favorite eyeshadows ever. And the best part? Those qualities weren't limited to just the mattes but extend to the shimmers too. ![]() The matte shadows were unlike any other that I had encountered: soft, pigmented, and easy to blend. This palette is limited edition and is currently sold out on the Lorac website! It will hopefully be back in stock soon and brought to Ulta and Sephora.In the great debate between getting a Naked Palette or this one, I chose Lorac because of the even split between matte shadows and shimmery shadows. That makes it good for both collectors and beginners! ![]() I have more than a dozen palettes and I'm getting shades that I don't have in any other palette, which I'm really happy about. There is a good mix of mattes and shimmers and overall I think this is a very well-done palette! If you don't have a lot of these shades or love Beauty and the Beast, you may want to consider picking it up. The mattes feel very creamy and smooth, very much like the mattes in the Lorac Pro 3 palette. The only shimmer that isn't very smooth is Real You, which doesn't look glittery in the pan but has some silver glitter in it. I can't wait to try using Swept Up in an eye look, I don't have any shades like it. Swatches from left to right: My Castle, Chip In, Romance, Spell Breaker, Inner Beauty, Tea Time, Tick Tock, Real YouĪll of these swatches were made by swirling my finger in the pan three times and I didn't use any primer or build them up at all! As you can tell the pigment is very impressive, especially on the shimmers. Based on swatches this does feel like the original Pro formula though there is a glitter-infused finish in here that I haven't seen in my other Lorac palette. I personally like the formula and I talk about it more in my Lorac Pro 3 palette review, but I know some people really hate the amount of fallout these shadows can have. The eyeshadows supposedly have the Lorac Pro formula, which is very pigmented and blendable but powdery. It's also a pain to photograph, so please bear with me! The palette includes a double-sided brush, which is actually usable! There are a few red accents to go along with the rose, like a red ribbon bookmark and a red ribbon in the brush holder. There are also two quotes, one near the mirror that says "love looks not with the eyes but with the mind", and the other above the eyeshadows that says "true beauty is found within". The metallic clasp is strong and flips open to reveal an old-fashioned mirror and sixteen eyeshadows. A red rose detail covers the front and the Beauty and the Beast logo is on the back. It is shaped like a book and has two tones of gold on it, one for the majority of the cover and the other for the metallic clasp and the 'Tale as Old as Time' logo. Im really glad I picked up the Iconic Pro 2, as I dont think Id ever have bought the Lorac Pro 2 over the original as the shades arent what Id usually.
