Lorac Pro Metal Palette Review and Swatches!
Hello Lovelies! I hope you all are doing great!
The weather is becoming colder here, today in particular and it just seemed like a good day to review and swatch the Lorac Pro Metal Palette ($28)
The Lorac Pro Metal Palette is a new eye shadow palette featuring eight matallic Lorac eyeshadows.
This palette is part of the Lorac Fall 2015 line.
This is a small travel friendly palette housed in a sturdy cardboard compact featuring a generously sized mirror and eight shades of Lorac Eyeshadow all of which have a matallic finich.
I think people had a fear that these shades were a rerun from the palette like the Lora Pro Palette 1 and 2. I say there are likely a few dupes for example the Amber looks a lot like Rose form the Pro 2 Palette and Clover looks like Jade from Pro 2, also Gilded in this palette is a lot like Gold in the original Pro 1 Palette. So yes, there are a few dupes here, but i think the main difference you'll find in this palette is the texture of the shades. Lorac's eyeshadoes have always been super pigmented with a velvety texture, and blend out beautifully! Truly they have a outstanding fourmula!
As you can see in my swatches the shades are highly saturated with color! They seem even more pigmented, intense, and vibrant compared to past palettes. I did a single swipe on my arm using without using a primer and using a sponge applicator and the colors look so incredibly rich and gorgeous. I thought the texture was a bit different as well.
This is a hybrid formula with a very, very creamy texture so although theya re a powder they feel quite like a cream of sorts. These shades have more of a foiled finish, but no worries this doesn't translate as a chunky hardcore glitter or shimmer. The shadows glide on easily with a smooth, even finish.
There is some fall out to contend with, but that is to be expected with any eyeshadow you come accross. Not to say these are chalky, because they are not, they are just packed loosely so they kick up a bit.
When I am applying these shades I use a very light hand as these colors are loaded with pigment and are easily over done. I have also used these with and without primer, but have had no issues with creasing or fading.
Lorac Pro Metal Palette Swatches from Left to Right.
Quartz, Rose Gold, Graphite, Onyx, Gilded, Amber, Clover, Cobalt.
Honestly, if you love matallic or foiled eyeshadow looks you are going to adore this palette.
Yes, there are more than a few dupes here from past Lorac Palettes, but I think you'll find the formula is where things get very, bery different. Lorac has improved upon an already great formula and made it even better. The creaminess of these shades just boggles my mind and the intensity of the pigmentation!
Such an incredible palette to say the least!
I use it all the time and am in awe of it every time I use it!
Thank you all for stopping by! Love you all!
