LORACPRO Matte & Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette, Metallic High Pigmented, Mirror Compact

Very pigmented and great formula not too powdery not too hard to work with.Stays on good for the whole day very nice colors too natural nude exactly how they look

Such versatile and useful shades. Lorac always has great pigmentation.

I really like this eyeshadow palette. I’ve had the Kat Von D Shade & Light palette for many years and was disappointed when it was discontinued. I struggled to find a palette with similar colors until I came across this one. The colors are very pigmented and blend beautifully. Just wish the palette was bigger.

I LOVE this set! The eyeshadow stays on very well and the colors are perfect! I've actually had quite a few friends that have started using it now. I did not give 5 stars because I think it's overpriced and there is no way to get just one of the colors. I go through the white quicker then the rest and I've searched for just the white and they apparently do not make it.

I prefer Lorac eye shadows because when you apply the shadow, it stays on your eyelid and doesn’t fall under your eyes. That is one of my pet peeves with brands such as Urban Decay, I’ll end up with shimmer on top of my cheeks and trying to wipe it away makes it worse. Lorac Matte Pro eyeshadows look good on my maturing eyelids. As you get older, shimmery or glittery eyeshadows tend to look not so good and that’s why I bought my first completely matte eyeshadows because I figured it was time to act my age. You can also wet the applicator brush to make it show up a bit darker. Of course the eyeshadows don’t come with any applicators. I have had many eyeshadow palettes by different manufacturers and Lorac is the brand I prefer. The colors still look good at the end of the day and they don’t crease. Make sure to use an eye primer first. The size of the shadows is on the smaller size, but because I tend to get bored and rarely use up a whole color, I would actually prefer a smaller amount.

I’ve used Lorac for years. The last time I ordered, I got a compact that is not pressed very well and I get bits of the color on my cheek and face. It’s not the same product that I’ve always used. I think it’s changed its formula or this is an imposter. Never again!!

The 8 pan Pro Matte is my absolute favorite palette, I use it everyday and CANNOT live without it. I’ve repurchased multiple times for years now, and I hope it never ever EVER gets discontinued.The formula is great, the colors are everything I need for a simple neutral look. I’m very pale but can still use the white as an inner corner highlight, and I use the darkest brown and the black as my eyeliner 95 percent of the time. I think latte is my most used color and it’s the reason why I usually need to repurchase so often. The other colors are great as well.Travels well, perfect size for me.

I recently decided to give Lorac shadows a try. This palette was a perfect first-time buy from them, but I have to say that I am not entirely impressed. It could be the brushes I have (Morphe REALLY let me down) although I think it really is the shadow itself. It's not quite as pigmented as I would like! It also isn't quite as a easy to blend as some other palettes I have. To give a full overview, let's break this review down into multiple parts:SIZE: It's about the size of my hand which is what I had expected. There is certainly a good amount of product here for your money! I was quite pleased with that. I don't expect to hit pan anytime soon, even if I use it regularly. I would recommend it as a traveling palette, or one that you keep in your purse for occasional touch-ups. However, that brings us to the next point...PIGMENT/BLENDING: These shades just aren't as pigmented as I would like. This means that I have to touch it up a couple times throughout the day in order to keep my eyes looking fresh. Which, again, is okay. It's small enough to take with you. It's just extra work. It's buildable, which means that the pigment doesn't matter as much. I guess. If you work with it and build and blend to your heart's content you can certainly get a great look! But I think I'll mainly be sticking to my Rainforest of the Sea palette from Tarte, or the Naked Basics by Urban Decay (both of which you should obviously check out). I've found that using this palette as a base and applying a shimmer to the center lid (such as "Sunset" from Rainforest of the Sea), it holds up all right. Make sure to prime, prime, prime!! I forgot ONCE to apply a primer (judge me, I was in a rush), and the creasing was unbelievable, as was the "wear-n-tear."COLOR SELECTION: Honestly, I'm disappointed I wasn't more "blown away" by this palette! The color selection is pretty great for me. These are ALL colors that I use on a regular basis... I mean, pretty much EVERY day. They're beautiful, neutral, matte, and professional. If you're looking for a solid neutral selection, you've found it (again, I'd recommend Naked Ultimate Basics over this, still, or even the Too Faced Chocolate Bar). Overall, I'm torn. The colors are great, and they're matte, and they're exactly what I wanted. I just wish they were more pigmented and didn't settle so easily!WORTH IT?: Yes. I think so. I don't necessarily regret this purchase... I just regret not being blown away by it. I have the Tantilizer bronzer from Lorac (which I LOVE, more than any other bronzer eveeeer). I figured that maybe i'd feel the same way about their palettes. I'll probably buy a different one at some point, but I'm hesitant to buy anything too, too expensive for the fear that it'll be the same as this one. It's a good price, a pretty all right palette, and a good addition to your collection. Then again, you could always go with UD or Tarte or even Too Faced and get something REALLY great!
