The finest blusher in a stick is now available in 2 bold, matte shades. Use strong and vibrant, or sheer with this creamy, long wear blush that provides buildable coverage in just a few swipes. Designed for multiple use across cheeks and lips, each stick can be applied dry for hi-intensity color or applied wet for a smooth, sheer finish.

Makeup Revolution Redemption Eyeshadow Palette Essential Mattes | Review and Swatches

Press Release (Affiliate Links)

London’s best-selling cosmetic line Makeup Revolution just landed on our shores with the US launch of Makeup Revolution USA. Starting at $3, their affordable, cruelty-free makeup palettes, eyebrow kits, bronzers, highlighters, lip lacquers and lipsticks offer the latest trends while using the finest ingredients.

Once you try Makeup Revolutions, you will become obsessed with their high quality products that are very affordable!
Makeup Revolution Essential Mattes Redemption Eyeshadow Palette delivers, "12 super-pigmented mattes, that are essential for your collection. Consists of subtle, shimmerless neutrals that are anything but boring. Soft mauves, buttercreams, and dove greys are all you need to be sophisticated and classic."

It is always a bit of a challenge to find high quality matte palettes– let alone affordably, but I found one! Makeup Revolution's matte shadows are neither flat and uninteresting, nor are they chalky and hard to work with.
This palette boasts 12 finely-milled and buttery soft neutral matte shadows, but when I saw that it only retails for $7.00, I somehow expected that the shadows would be chalky, hard to blend, and replete with plenty of fallout. I. WAS. WRONG! This is a very high quality palette that is a joy to use, and the combination of neutral shades range from ivories to dusty mauves. Each shadow effortlessly glides across the lids, deposits color evenly, and has no fallout.
Left to Right: The first 6 shadows swatched (all swatched without primer)
The first 4 shadows are very very light, and barely show up on my skin, but they are very smooth and finely milled. They make great base shades, can be used on the brow bone, or can be used as transition colors to blend out a look.
The last 6 shades are more saturated hues that offer buildable coverage. They are silky smooth and finely milled.
Ingredients: Mica, Talc, Magnesium Stearate, Mineral Oil, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Polybutene, Dimethicone, Methylparaben, Propylparaben. May Contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Ultramarines (CI 77007), Red 40 Lake (CI 16035).
Overall Assessment: This is an unbelievable value for a beautiful palette of 12 matte eyeshadows! Run, don't walk, to Ulta to check out Revolution Makeup! I definitely want to further investigate their products!
