Today, we are taking a look at one of my rainbow palettes, in honor of Pride Month. As I’ve mentioned before on this blog, rainbow palettes are a personal favorite and this was one of my first. The Nyx Ultimate Shadow Palette in Brights covers a wide spectrum of color with 16 shades present in the palette.
This is one of Nyx’s older palettes in their permanent line, but the quality is actually pretty solid. This formula is very beginner-friendly too, a big plus. Nyx does not have my favorite formula but these colors are quite buildable allowing for the wearer to blend seamlessly into each other.
There are a few shades in the palette that have glitter particles throughout (the industry has dubbed these sequin shadows), however, like many sequin shadows from a few years back, the particles blend away and mostly appear as matte shades. The rest of the shades are matte shadows causing the entire palette to perform as a matte palette. For this reason, this is a great complimentary palette, best used with another shimmer shade.
