Hello!
Colourful palettes are my weakness. Although I’ve already had plenty of them, I still keep buying new ones. Recently, I’ve managed to find a new colour cosmetic designed for eye make-up, Subculture by Anastasia Beverly Hills. How did this electric, in terms of shades, palette turn out to be? Feel invited to read my entry.
How does the palette by ABH look like?
This is a black and blue box housing a mirror and double applicator inside. There are 14 eyeshadows in Subculture delivering either matte or shimmering finish. Matte effect are provided by: coral Roxy, warm brown Fudge, orange with lemon pigments New Wave, green Untamed, mustard Edge, purple Rowdy, green and blue Axis, grey Mercury, burgundy All Star, sage-like Destiny, sandy Dawn. The shades delivering shimmering finish are: lemon and golden Electric, brown Adorn and pearl pink Cube. Total madness!
What is Subculture palette like?
Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow palette is well-pigmented and deliver enhanced eye make-up. Unfortunately, while wearing it, the shadows tend to crease and flake off a little bit. In order to extend their lifespan, you have to apply a primer or any other similar product. I have to admit that fairly good results are obtained when you apply the shadows wet because colours become more vivid then. Unfortunately, to me, the shades the palette houses aren’t arranged to facilitate finding two matching in terms of tones colours. When I look at this palette, I feel like there is chaos inside.
How to apply the eyeshadows by ABH?
If you are an artist, I bet you won’t have problems with applying any eye make-up using Subculture. To be honest, I just feel lost everytime I open the palette and look at this strangely-arranged colours. So how to cope with this beauty product? For example, you can make use of the individual shades and mix them with shades that other palettes feature. I’m sure, you will manage to match and blend various shades. Also, there is another solution. Try to group the shades accordingly to the finish they deliver, tone or colour gamut. I wish you luck and make-up madness.
