As the weather changes many of us like
to change our makeup routine with it. Gone are the lashings of bronzer, bright
stains or pretty tints and in come the warm earthy tones and dark lips. Thus in
the quest to achieve the perfect autumn winter eye makeup I have been searching
for a palette containing red tones as opposed to your standard neutral browns
and beiges. I considered ordering myself a Kyshaddow Palette but £34 plus
shipping for 9 eyeshadows and a whole load of hassle trying to get my hands on
one didn’t really appeal. It wasn’t until I was scrolling down Instagram one
day that I spotted the Morphe 350 palette and immediately had to know more.
The Morphe 350 palette comes in 3
variations: matte, shimmer and original. Each palette contains 35 eyeshadows
and costs £21.75, working out at £0.62 per eyeshadow which is incredible value
for money. I opted for the matte version as I have quite a lot of shimmery
eyeshadows that I never use yet find myself hitting pan on my matte shadows. As
you can see from my swatches the eyeshadows are highly pigmented, my only gripe
would be is that they are more powdery than higher quality eyeshadows like that
of Urban Decay which are creamy, but for £0.62 an eyeshadow you can’t really
complain. As they are a little bit powdery it can take a bit longer to blend
them properly but yet again for the price you expect it.
As for the packaging it is sleek and
simple. The clasp is secure and the palette doesn’t feel flimsy, although I
should note that it doesn’t contain a mirror. Also none of the eyeshadows have
names, which again isn’t the end of the world but it would’ve been nice. But for
me what shines about this palette is the selection of colours. There is a lovely
selection of cool and warm toned browns, beige's, oranges and reds, ranging from
light to dark. There is a colour to suit everyone and every shade is perfect
for this season.
What do you think of the Morphe 350m Palette?
