MAKEUP REVOLUTION FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE PALETTE REVIEW


THE REVEAL

I will be honest, I hadn't heard of Jane Cunningham (BritishBeautyBlogger) before I heard of this palette. However, with Makeup Revolution being my favourite makeup brand, and after viewing Jane's wonderful blog, I knew the palette was going to be a big hit. I also knew I had to have the palette ASAP!


THE OPENING

The appearance of the palette looked even better than photos. It's like holding a bar of gold. 
 See? You can see why I felt like royalty. Right? I could not wait to get into the palette and see the colours for myself. Even though Jane's own swatches were amazing, I get so impatient when I know I have new makeup waiting for me to try. When I got into the palette I was immediately (and not surprisingly) drawn to the purples and blues. I found the greens quite interesting and they're in shades I am not used to playing around with, they remind me of camo so I am excited to see what I can do with them. Even though there are nude and pink shades in here, even they are more versatile than I imagined. And let's not forget the look of the amazing glimmer shadows, the pigments look incredible!


THE FIRST MAKEUP LOOK

Here are two pictures of the finished first makeup look I done using this palette! 


Firstly, as MUCH as I was tempted to do yet another purple eye look, I decided to first of see if I could use this palette as an everyday makeup go-to, as well as using it for my night out looks (yes, the purples..). 
I was majorly impressed with the blending these shadows, as well as how well they mix together! I used Buffer along the crease, then Peachy on top of Buffer and using my Makeup Revolution blending brush, blended Peachy upwards, It created this really peachy, smoothie looking colour, I couldn't stop staring at it! I think Pink Diamond or Favour would look great and girly with this. However I really am not a pink sparkly girl, so I went for Latte on the lid, with Golden Coins on the top. I was impressed with how buildable the glimmers are. It looked great with one or two layers of Golden Coins on top of the Latte, but I do like a lot of shimmer from shadows from these, so I layered it up. As I said, I'm not a pink sparkly kind of girl, but I did use one of the pink glimmers to see if the colour was as amazing on the skin as on the palette. I used Favour along my bottom lid, I was disappointed it wasn't as striking as in the palette, but I was surprised to see I actually loved it.

Now, I have been dying to share this blog post and these photos with you all. Just so you can see how fantastic Ice Cloud is as a highlighter and inner corner colour. I didn't quite have the right lighting in the first photo so just take note from the second photo. I do normally tend to go for gold highlighters for my under brow highlight, so I tried a silver/white toned this time. This is most definitely the BEST icy shadow I have ever used. I wasn't that shocked it has come from MUR, because of their amazing highlighters. It is most definitely my new go-to highlighter and inner corner colour.


So, that's my first blog post done! I really hope you enjoyed it and I am so looking forward to sharing my knowledge, opinions and thoughts with you all!

Happy Halloween week! If you know me, you will know I have been very excited for Halloween this year. It is the first Halloween that I have had my blog, so I can share lots of weird and wonderful looks with you all! 7 Days of Halloween will include a blog post a day, from today until Halloween! I have, and will continue to, put a lot of effort into these looks and ideas.  I just want to give a quick shout out to all my amazing friends and family who have helped me with putting this together - whether it be letting me loose on your faces, helping me with ideas or simply reviewing my looks for me!

Day 4 of 7 Days of Halloween! I'm a big fan of horrors, thrillers and all of that sorts. So, I picked a few of my favourite characters/looks to recreate. I didn't want to choose characters that are on trend this year, but rather ones you can recreate for yourself if you are a beginner, or adapt further if you are more advanced. I think the characters I chose are easily adaptable, but you will also see how I created the SFX and how easy it is for you to do aswell!

SUGAR SKULL

Day 3 of 7 Days of Halloween! Sugar skulls have been so popular this year, as every other year, and I knew I couldn't live up to some of the standards out there, but I definitely wanted to give it a try. I've never done one before despite admiring them for so many years. They're so versatile, I've seen many elegant, pretty ones but also some darker looking ones. They also look good on anyone, I believe. What I learnt from doing one for the first time, as long as you have a steady hand, good face paints and an imagination, they're pretty easy to do!
