I love eyeshadow, I love palettes and I love Makeup Revolution...so it makes sense I have rather a lot of their eyeshadow palettes! I thought I'd whittle down my collection to the top 5 I think you should definitely check out. Best of all you could pick up all 5 for just £35!
5. The Iconic 2, £4
(Bottom Far Left)
This Naked 2 dupe was a slow burner for me but I came to really appreciate the cool-toned neutrals. I think this palette is much better quality than the one MUA do, especially in terms of the matte shades. I love it for an everyday neutral look. The packaging is nothing special to look at but it's still intact many months later and for £4 I really don't mind!
4. The I Heart Chocolate, £7.99
(Bottom Centre)
I need to get using this palette more again, as at the end of summer I barely touched anything else! I absolutely love the brown, gold and reddish tones in there and if you want a pop of colour but nothing too scary then this is the palette for you. £7.99 certainly sounds a lot more appealing than the £45 price tag of Too Faced's Chocolate Bar!
3. The Iconic Pro 1, £6.99
(Top Left)
I must be the only person who never got the Lorac Pro palette, however I still wanted to pick up this affordable dupe. The formula is a little different to other palettes I own from Makeup Revolution but it's seriously great! Plus for such a low price it's impressive you get a proper eyeshadow brush in there. You get a full row of shimmers and a full row of mattes. As well as daytime shades you get some smokier evening ones too.
2. The Ultra Flawless, £8
(Bottom Right)
This was my #1 palette throughout Autumn because it has pretty much all the neutral bases covered: matte browns, rusty golds, greens and reds. It's surprisingly compact considering it houses a whopping 32 shades. I often find with huge palettes the quality can be really patchy, however I use all but about 5 shades in this one so it's worked out as a total bargain.
1. The Naked Chocolate, £7.99
(Top Right)
I've never come across a palette that I use every single shade in...until now! It's seriously just 'me' in a palette and I currently have to convince myself to use some of the more expensive ones I own as this just always does it for me. I love the rosy pinks, warm browns, taupes and golds. It just does all of the things for me!
You can see full reviews with swatches of every shade in each palette below:
I really think Makeup Revolution do the best eyeshadows you're going to get for that price. The shades are always so pigmented with minimal fall-out and they really rival palettes I own that are twice the price or more!
What's your favourite Makeup Revolution palette?
I only own the Iconic 1 (I think) from them but I love this brand and do want to pick up more but don't have the love of shadows like you so it is not always on my list. Although I feel that I might pop over and see if a few of these are in stock :)

They're well worth such a low price! xx
DeleteI love the Naked Chocolate palette but I seriously need to pick up the Iconic Pro 1! I've had my eye on it for ages! xo
ReplyDeleteLauren // The Beauty Ideal
It's fab quality :) xx
DeleteI'm an eyeshadow palette hoarder too but am yet to try any Makeup Revolution! Initially it was because they were coming out with dupes for palettes I already own. I definitely want to pick up the Iconic Pro 1 & 2, the Naked Chocolate palette & will be checking out both the Flawless palettes! Xx

ReplyDeleteAngie x | Chocolate & Lipstick || UK Beauty and Lifestyle Blog

I've been meaning to write you a message for ages! I just want to say thank you so much for all your help and making things so relatable! Your blog and advice on what palettes to get was an absolute godsend in deciding what to put on my Christmas list! I went for the Flawless palette on your recommendation and also received the What Are You Waiting For palette as a free gift which I have been using and loving. Sorry for the ramble, I just wanted to say thanks so much! I definitely will be following your blog from now on! XxxX
ReplyDeleteAw thank you - no problem! :) glad you enjoyed this and found it useful! xx
