Colourpop Makeup Your Mind Palette Full Review and Swatches

Hey my loves!
How has your week been? I had a poll on my instagram stories a few days ago and asked you guys to choose which colourpop product you want to see me review first from my haul and the palette got the most votes! So today I will be reviewing the Colourpop Makeup Your Mind palette! Scroll down to learn everything you will possibly need to know about this palette!

Colourpop makeup your mind palette review and swatches

What Colourpop claims..
Look familiar? This is the palette that YOU voted on! Boss Lady is notorious for always changing her mind on shades, concepts, launch dates, you name it!! And she turned to YOU to create a palette that you wanted. Rich jewel tones and unique metallic shades, they’re the shades that you love! Thanks for helping Boss Lady "make up her mind"!

Price, Packaging and Quantity..
This palette costs $12 and you get 6 shimmer shadows. Each pan contains a good 1 gram of product. And this also means you're only paying $2 per shadow!! The eyeshadow palette itself is made out of cardboard, does not contain a mirror and is quite small. It is the size of my palm! But the small size does make it quite easy to travel with. The biggest issue I have with this palette is that the shade names printed at the back, is in a completely wrong order.

When I checked for the shade names on Colourpop's website, I found that the shade Toasted is actually the yellow, and not the silver. And Lock & Key is the brown and not the green. The whole shade chart is incorrectly named and that's quite frustrating for someone like me, who is trying to list out the shades I have used in my tutorials and looks! But that being said, I am willing to overlook it, simply because of the super affordable price tag.

My thoughts..
So! As you guys know, I didn't really give in to the hype about Colourpop Cosmetics when they first launched. Instead, I placed my first order in October last year! And this palette was one of the items I was most excited about from my haul! And let me tell you, I absolutely love it guys!! The shadows are super smooth, very shimmery and the silver shade has the best formula out of the 6 shadows and glides like butter! It is so reflective as you will see from the swatches below.

The one downside to this palette is that it does not have any matte shades to throw in the crease and therefore, this isn't going to be one of those palettes that you can do an entire eye look with, unless you just want to tap some of that rose gold eyeshadow on the lids and do some liner and mascara. Haha in that case.. well, you're good to go.

I find that they apply best when applied with a damp brush or just your fingers. I also haven't found an issue with the shadows fading and they wear until I am ready to take my makeup off and in case you are wondering, I just use my concealer or foundation to prime the eyelids, nothing fancy. But it does start to crease slightly after a good 7-8 hours of wear but that is normal with any shadow if you have greasy eyelids, if you're sweating a lot and it's humid OR if you have quite hooded or deep set eyes.

Sultry Rich Gunmetal and Gold Glitter Cut Crease Tutorial - Beginner friendly

Hey my loves!
How has your day been? I feel like I blinked and 2018 is already over haha! So before we get started, Happy New Year to every single one of you reading! I hope that 2019 will be the year that all of your dreams finally come true and you keep achieving goal after goal!! Today on the 1st, I am here with a tutorial on this super extra, easy to follow, glittery cut crease look and I hope you will enjoy it! Let's get started!

Sultry rich gunmetal and gold glitter cut crease tutorial

Here's what you'll need:

Concealer/eyeshadow primer
Matte peach eyeshadow
Matte burgundy eyeshadow
Matte black eyeshadow
Shimmery gunmetal/olive green eyeshadow
Shimmery gold eyeshadow
Black liner(liquid/gel)
Mascara
Falsies

Step 1
Blend a matte peach eyeshadow into your crease and a little above it, stopping just below the brow bone.

Step 2
Next, blend the matte burgundy eyeshadow into your crease and blend it upwards slightly but make sure it is most pigmented at the crease/wherever you want your crease to be.

Step 3
Now, using your concealer, eyeshadow primer or even your foundation if it has enough coverage, carve out your crease as shown below. Once you have packed the concealer on, you can now set it with powder to make sure the shadows we apply later will blend out easily.

Step 4
Next, pack on the shimmery green/gunmetal eyeshadow all over your mobile eyelids, all the way upto the cut crease line. You can also use a damp brush to help increase the pigmentation of your shimmer shadows. The shadow I used was 'Fool's Gold' from the Sigma Warm Neutrals Volume 2 palette and it's so hard to describe. It's like a greenish grey shade that's super shimmery but it also has specks of gold glitter in it!!

Step 5
Using a smaller detail brush, pack on the shimmery gold eyeshadow into the inner corners of your eyes, blending it onto the lower lashline and also into the shadow we just applied on the eyelids.

Step 6
Blend the same burgundy shadow we used in step 2 into the outer one third of your eyelids and blend it into the shimmery gunmetal eyeshadow. This is just to add some interest to the black shadow we are about to apply.

Step 7
Pack a matte black eyeshadow over the entire area you used the burgundy shadow on in step 7 and blend it into the center of your eyelids as show below.

Step 8
Next, I decided to use a makeup wipe and clean off all of the fallout I got from that black eyeshadow and also clean up the outer edge of the eyeshadow look. You can angle your wipe from your lower lashline towards the tail of your brows to get the perfect angle for your eye shape! I also went back in with some of the matte burgundy eyeshadow on a detail brush and sort of cleaned up and outlined the cut crease area.

Step 9
Now that everything's looking nice and precise, blend the matte burgundy eyeshadow all along your lower lashline. Using a slightly damp brush, apply a small amount of this same eyeshadow to your lower waterline as well.

Step 10
