Fortune Favors the Brave: A Review of the Makeup Revolution Eye Shadow Palette

When I first laid eyes on the Makeup Revolution Fortune Favours the Brave eye shadow palette, I was immediately drawn in by its stunning array of colors. With 32 shades ranging from matte to shimmery to glittery, this palette has something for every makeup lover. In this review, I'll be sharing my thoughts on this affordable yet impressive eyeshadow palette.

First of all, let me say that the packaging is a bit lacking. The gold metal casing feels flimsy and doesn't exactly scream 'high-end' to me. But, as they say, it's what's inside that counts, right? And speaking of inside, the shadows themselves are where this palette truly shines.

I'm absolutely loving the black shade, Blacqua, which is super pigmented with little fall out. It's a one-swipe wonder, and I can see myself reaching for it again and again. Other standout shades include Transformer, Green Machine, Fortune, Drama Queen, Super Gold, Sunset Hour Golden Coins, and Favor - all of which have a beautiful balance of matte and shimmer finishes.

As you can see from the swatches above, some shades are more pigmented than others, but that's to be expected with most palettes. What I do appreciate is the mix of textures and finishes on offer here. Whether you're in the mood for a bold, shimmery look or something more subtle and matte, there's something for everyone.

One thing to note is that these shadows are best applied with your fingers for optimal color payoff - especially when it comes to the mosaic shades, which blend two colors together beautifully. And speaking of blending, if you're not an expert in the art of eye shadow application, you may want to use a wet brush to get the most out of these shadows.

On the flip side, I do have to mention that this palette isn't without its drawbacks. For one thing, the brush included is pretty much useless - and I'm not alone in my disappointment here! Additionally, the palette itself feels a bit flimsy, which might be a concern for those with oily skin who tend to rub their eyes.

Overall, would I repurchase this palette? Absolutely - especially at its affordable price point. Would I recommend it to others? Yes, but with a few caveats. Oily-skinned beauties may want to look elsewhere, as the shadows do have a tendency to fade quickly. However, for those with dry or normal skin types, this palette offers a lot of bang for your buck.

In short, the Makeup Revolution Fortune Favours the Brave eye shadow palette is a hidden gem that's sure to delight makeup enthusiasts of all levels. With its stunning array of colors and affordable price tag, it's a must-have for anyone looking to add some excitement to their eye makeup routine.
