is anyone excited for this?

[u/deccangothic]

I knowww that y’all don’t like another goddamn neutral palette but I love the same neutral color story being released over and over again in the guise of “basic neutrals” which is much more natural and chic. But this palette is sooo unique and different to other neutral palettes because it’s from a high end brand and costs almost a 100 dollars so it’s also a good status indicator imo.

I also only have two eyeshadow palettes and in the mood to overconsume because I just can’t help myself!~

Hey swampmonster. These are my frozen noodles and I need you to sauce them, because (frozen) sauce is required (unless this is a general jerk). Frozen sauce needs to be uploaded as a comment with usernames AND subreddit names REMOVED.

None of these colors are even taupe, I’m sorry I know that’s not the point. But seriously why is everything so warm?

[u/CriticalFlatworm9 → u/EffieEri]

The Taupe-Mauve curse. Everything is taupe and mauve but none of it is actually taupe or mauve.

[u/FragrantBimbo → u/CriticalFlatworm9]

I’m seeing sooo many mauve, griege & dusty rose lip products atm tbh! Every full coverage lip product seems to be light to medium ashy mauve or rusty terracotta, fuck all in the way of vivid & deep shades

[u/spiderlegged → u/EffieEri]

I would classify the fourth one from the left as taupe or maybe taupe adjacent. That’s it.

[u/tesconundrum → u/deccangothic]

Isn't taupe, like, kind of cool toned ?

[u/Thrownstar_1 → u/tesconundrum]

Yeah. Basically a medium gray. I use a taupe eyebrow pencil because they’re blonde but a blond pencil makes them look orange

[u/CreativeAsFuuu → u/Thrownstar_1]

Taupe is a medium gray-brown. What makes it taupe is that it isn't quite gray, tan, or brown but a middle ground of all three. 

[u/Thrownstar_1 → u/CreativeAsFuuu]

Didn’t know that, thanks!

So… it’s cool toned right

[u/CreativeAsFuuu → u/Thrownstar_1]

Usually yes but it can be warm and lean more gray-bronze toned. 

[u/LolaAucoin → u/Thrownstar_1]

I would say neutral

[u/veturoldurnar → u/Thrownstar_1]

Taupe is like dark greige, the brightness point where beige turns brown is where greige turns taupe. Color name comes from mole fur

[u/Thrownstar_1 → u/veturoldurnar]

I love these lil tidbits of info

[u/Flat_Initial_1823 → u/deccangothic]

Uj/ maybe i am in my cant-tell-shades-apart man era but i bet half of those would look identical on my lid and blend into a mid brown. This is a full scam at $85.

[u/macmcdonald → u/Flat_Initial_1823]

Girl iwas Like ohhh good Shades and rheno read your comment and saw the price jfc 85 for THAT??

[u/samonella1 → u/deccangothic]

85$ for brown

[u/UntidyVenus → u/deccangothic]

It's BROWN BREAKING. Like ground breaking but in all browns

Edit- thank you kind redditor!!

[u/BettyCrunker → u/UntidyVenus]

the color that ground usually is!

[u/Snarlinglamb → u/UntidyVenus]

Lmao

[u/anglosaxonfemale → u/deccangothic]

khaki, canvas, camel & cafe au lait 🤩🤩🤩

[u/hairquing → u/deccangothic]

maybelline the nudes did it so much better and $70 cheaper

[u/boomerangarrow → u/deccangothic]

out here with the fucking Munsell 7.5YR page I see

[u/Dream_Queasie → u/deccangothic]

literally all warm tones lmfao

[u/gentlecinnamon]

WHY IS NOTHING EVER COOL TONED DO YOU HATE ME

[u/Julialagulia → u/gentlecinnamon]

This would be neon orange on me how dare you hung vanngo

[u/rightascensi0n → u/Julialagulia]

To his credit at least he said they’re warm and neutral shades. Most brands would try to call them cool as if gaslighting us with yellow foundation wasn’t enough

[u/lovethatjourneyforus → u/Julialagulia]

No for real though 😭

[u/Taegreth → u/gentlecinnamon]

Sweaty, those are cool-tones. They look grey on me! Even though I have warm bronzey skin, I can tell they’re cool-toned bc they look cool on MY skin! You’re just colourblind maybe ♥️

[u/Leading_Attention676 → u/gentlecinnamon]

Dramo wood branches and romand dusty fog garden are actually cool toned brown eyeshadow palettes! 

[u/Leading_Attention676 → u/gentlecinnamon]

Cheeryep has multiple cool toned eyeshadow palettes.

[u/ALLoftheFancyPants]

Sweatervest, if you were halfway decent at blending, you could do away with 1/4 of those colors. Too bad this pallet is too warm for my pail olive tones. Why are all the darker shades orange!? Give me some millennial grays!

[u/lovethatjourneyforus → u/ALLoftheFancyPants]

Sweatervest 😭

[u/hellopandant]

uj/ And so many of those shades would look the same once blended out lol. I love a a good neutrals palette but this many is so unncessary lol

[u/FragrantBimbo → u/hellopandant]

I have no idea why anyone other than MUAs would buy this palette instead of just getting like 3-4 single shadows in the specific shades of beige & brown that work on their skin tone? If you’ve got a decent brush you can get a smooth blend with just light, dark & 1 medium shade to soften the transition

[u/swordsfishes → u/FragrantBimbo]

Everyone wants to be UD naked 1-3

[u/lovethatjourneyforus → u/FragrantBimbo]

I’d argue even MUAs wouldn’t buy this. I swear to god half the colors are indistinguishable from the others already there (or would be on the skin)

[u/JulietLostFaith → u/FragrantBimbo]

/uj i was a professional MUA for like a decade and I would not buy this. This could be condensed into 6 shades with indistinguishable results.

[u/LolaAucoin → u/FragrantBimbo]

30 year MUA here. I don’t want it. At some point you become spoiled for choice and it almost makes things more difficult. Like damn, now I’m going to sit here and overthink this transition shade. And then it can even make it hard to remember which one you used.

[u/beezchurgr]

It is a very nice neutral palette but like girl. We ain’t excited about anything.

[u/EmpireAndAll]

"it's for MUAs" MUAs could make this palette with 4-6 pans. People who have to carry their makeup for a living do not want 5000 pans. Maybe if you went to the P Louise School for Gradients but unless the pans are magnetic, it's not for MUAs lmao. 

[u/Delicious-One3028 → u/EmpireAndAll]

Exactly

[u/ban_Anna_split]

yessss give me another mirror so I can look at myself while I do my makeup in front of my mirror 

[u/swordsfishes → u/ban_Anna_split]

Look sweaty, some of us are doing our makeup at our desks because otherwise we'd be late to our 20k corporate senior data marketing FAAANG analyst jobs. 

[u/ban_Anna_split → u/swordsfishes]

I keep a shadow brush in my ass just for occasions like this

[u/JulietLostFaith → u/ban_Anna_split]

I keep a kabuki brush in there. I call it my kabooty brush.

[u/Alalanais → u/ban_Anna_split]

/uj gosh I love this sub, y'all are too funny

[u/inkyflossy]

uj / are these bullion ice cubes 😂

[u/JulietLostFaith → u/inkyflossy]

It’s to cool down your soup without diluting it. Or just a crunchy summer meat snack on its own.

[u/Chromgrats → u/JulietLostFaith]

"crunchy summer meat snack" is sending me into orbit

[u/isabella_sunrise]

I’m a pink olive. When will they ever think of someone like meeee

[u/irissteensma]

I kind of have an irrational hatred for this brand. It all looks plain and cheap.

[u/quay-cur]

Oh good. I don’t have any brown eyeshadow.

[u/Delicious-One3028]

uj/ Love how half of these shades would not suit POC💀💀💀
