For Valentine’s Day, my wonderful husband got me a new palette and to be honest, this palette speaks to me on another level. I am a huge true-crime fan and this brand’s aesthetics perfectly combines my two passions (true-crime and makeup).
This palette is my first dive into the indie brand Makeup A Murder, but after some research it appears that this is their third palette release. The palette is a Valentine’s themed palette with shades of pinks and purples. There are 10 shades of varying finishes. The finishes include diamond shimmers, diamond mattes, satin shimmers, and soft mattes as described by the website.
The formulas in this palette are extraordinary, especially in the diamond matte called Soulmate. This is what most people know as a sequin shadow, with glitters suspended in a matte shadow. However, this shadow performs better then any sequin shadow I’ve ever used! The glitters stay in the shadow, not cascading down onto the face over time and they are noticeable on the eye, rather then appearing like a matte shadow.
The other stand out shadow for me was the red shadow called Stolen Heart. This shadow can stain slightly so be prepared for that, but it is extremely pigmented and blends out like a dream.
All in all, I highly recommend this palette! The pan sizes are huge and I’m grateful for that, as I plan on using this palette a ton and I don’t ever want to be without it.
