ALMA VIVA COLLECTION | KALEIDOS MAKEUP | NEW LIP SWATCHES, TRY ON, + MORE SWATCHES!

[@marlenegomes4008]

Honestly you are one the most respectfull overall propale on yt.your entusiasm is real and palpable. And even when you are not really Happy with a collection you still manage find positive aspects to highlight, like the stickers with the names on the blushes. Girl , you rock.

[@eccentricbooknerd]

Okay i am watching this video because i love you girl and i love your heart, but..... i want some color from kaleidos 😭

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

Do you have Escape Pod? Its so bright and fun!

[@eccentricbooknerd]

@HeatherAustinmakeup yes, i used to love their stuff but some of the new things just look really similar. Booo

[@LL-zb3dl]

Same! Are these palettes rereleases?

[@bethanythatsme]

Just wanted to say that even though I'm on a pretty strict low buy, your enthusiasm & love of makeup is always something I look forward to.

[@heathersargent289]

Wish I could put my self on a nobuy even lowbuy I seem to be a buy everything I see that I want lately.

[@Jess911able]

Yeah idk about this collection... I love Kaleidos and own a bunch of their products but those blushes are too light for most people and the only quad I was interested has a matte with glitter in it... You can see the sparkles floating in the air! Come on Kaleidos.. The glosses look beautiful and seem to be a good price considering it's 7 for $84.

[@richapraja]

Is it me or does the purple quad look very similar to last year's purple quad? Also, don't think those blushes are made for a diverse range of skin tones - like I can't even see them on Heather 👀

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

I’d recommend the blush shades from their last blush release, much more range in the shades 🥰 I’m so glad seeing them in my video was helpful!

[@brittanyrae_beauty]

I think the lippies are the stand out! They are so pretty. I may pick one up and a blush from their previous collection if they do a Black Friday sale. I'm skipping the palettes bc I feel like they already did 2 quads that look really similar to this. I wish the blushes had a range to them. You created a beautiful look! 🖤💜

[@jessythys9619]

I like the collection but the blushes are very light.. The eyeshadows are super beautiful and your look turned out soooo amazing!

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

Definitely light! I’m glad you enjoyed the end look, thank you!

[@elisa-beary]

I’ll never comprehend how your lips don’t smear when you put a gloss over w/e is under it. I’ve heard letting a liquid lip dry helps but, if I do a matte w/ gloss it just gets everywhere and I always use lip liner! Your lips are stunning & I ❤your lip combos!!

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

Oh no! I don’t really have that issue when the lipstick sets 🤔

[@LL-zb3dl]

I have the exact same situation!

[@mistichristensen7088]

I’m loving the eye look. I’m such a sucker for purple. The lip glosses look stunning. 💛🌻

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

They totally are!

[@ambercastle93]

I'm disappointed in how pale and similar the blushes are. I'm underwhelmed in general, but still excited none the less. Thanks for a great video!

[@sweetladyvee3102]

Oh my gahh’d 🤤 that purple eyeshadow 😅

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

💕😍🥰

[@Kpop0223]

Those blushes are so light, I definitely can't use any of them. Thankfully, I have all the blushes I need already. I love the eye look you came up with!

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

Thanks for sharing!! 💞

[@MEdwin1636]

Stunningly beautiful! That purple is gorgeous.

[@GuadalupeBernabe5902]

OMG!!! Can’t wait to hear all about it. It looks so pretty. Glad they put the names on the blushes. The outer packaging is cute.

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

Me too!

[@elisa-beary]

I also think of color when I think of kaliedos! How bout a red&pink quad?

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

That would be gorgeous 😻

[@magicxspace5406]

What I love about Kaleidos is that they really are catering for cooltoned people and even though I do wish they would bring us some bigger more colourful palette, I'm glad for these quads because these are the shades I always ask for and other brands are like 'fuck you, here have some orange browns again bitch' 🤣 And the blushes are actualy finally nude blushes that I can use. I do miss a lavender lip in the collection to match with the undertone of the quads but overall this collection is cooltoned heaven

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

Thanks for sharing! 😻💕💖

[@tashwiba]

Pasty and cool toned here... I agree SO HARD! So tough to find cool toned nudes! I appreciate the pastel blushes too tho, but they definitely aren't for everyone!

[@kouzelnice]

Totally agree. Other luxury brands like PMG and ND (there is more variety with indie brands) have been coming out with mostly warm toned palettes forever.. and fans keep asking for purples, greens, and cool tones that are work friendly but still amazing (I think Heather looks amazing in this). Maybe Kaleidos is just ahead of the trend?❤

[@girlwhomustnotbenamed4139]

Haha, you said it! This is exactly how each new release feels. 😁 And then they call anything that is not outright orange cool-toned. 🙈😭 Possibly one of the best things about Kaleidos releasing this collection (well, apart from the actual cool-toned products :D) is that there might finally be a conversation about how the cool-toned end of the make-up bell curve is totally ignored by virtually the entire industry, even in base makeup. Just because things show up on us doesn't mean they are for us.

[@tossefin]

Dayum you're fast! Watching this for you but not really interested in all the neutral quads they've been releasing lately... would really love to see something like the Futurism palettes again, or something similar to Club Nebula or Escape Pod.

[@mymakeupgarden]

Same!

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

I’d love a red or green quad 😻

[@melissa_hilliard_ifekristii]

💜🖤💜🖤💜 Lovely video and the packaging looks gorgeous. I miss the futuristism palettes or Escape Pod or Flower Punk palettes from them. Just a little over the quads. My makeup white whale is their Deepsea Lustre palette 😂😭😅 would love them to do a sequel like Deep space or something 😂 Ooooof those blushes are so light. Definitely not very tan - deep skin friendly. 😮 The blushes from that launch with the black lace packaging had some punch! The lip products look good though. 👍🏾

[@katherinekelly9689]

Hi Heather, thank you for all your hard work in this video, i love your eyeshadow creation , bold and beautiful colours. Love Katherine xoxo

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching~!~

[@xeematthews8920]

i was so excited for this launch, thought we’d be getting some mauvy makeup based off the packaging but another cool toned neutral and purple quad - which are colors i love but don’t need more of. the glosses look stunning but what disappoint me the most is the blushes 🥲🥲🥲 i still have yet to try their blush formula cus all their colors are so light 😭😭

[@mariejoseepitre409]

Love Kaleidos but those two quads are so reminiscent of the Cold brew and Flowing haze quads on camera they look exactly the same... are they ?

[@bab272727]

omg i watch this video twice i cant get over how beautiful those shadows look on you nd those lashes baddie barbie look love it so much i love watching ur videos 😘

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

Thank you so much!!💖💜

[@carlamcbride2457]

I like the darker purple quad

[@biogirl1381]

omg, i cannot take my eyes off of your eyeshadow!!! the packaging is gorgeous and i loveeee the cool toned quads. the blushes would probably still be light on me, and i’m much lighter than you, but sometimes i do loveeee a nice desaturated blush moment. the lip products are EVERYTHING, and the freefall shade i was most excited about looks GORGEOUS on you!!! i truly hope that they also are going to have that mirror for sale because i need it in my life!!! today was a good day, because i got to watch TWO of your videos!!! 💜💜💜

[@pilcas1]

These are nice if you don’t have the other purple and the cold brew because they are almost the same. I am a bit disappointed in this release.

[@heathersargent289]

Ur lid space is amazing, I wish I had that much space to work with. I am super attracted to these quads, I think I want to order them. I wish they made nude blushes that showed up on medium skin tones I like the colors but I don't think they will show up not ashy .

[@shannonguinn9837]

It like The Emporer's New Make Up - invisible!!

[@christinamoller4342]

I'm so happy that Kaleidos finally made glosses! Beautiful packaging too. I kinda wish the palettes were a little more different from their other quads, but they're still gorgeous and I'm always here for a good-quality purple palette. Green next please!

Skinny dip, the mauve one and penthouse are my faves on you but they all look pretty. That gloss packaging is SO prettyyyyy. I want one.

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

The glosses are too beautiful 😻

[@SarahTones85]

I love Kaleidos. Their formulas packaging are always on point. But I’m disappointed. The quads are pretty, they look similar to what they have but I’d have to see a side by side. The blushes are super light…I think they would look stunning on dark skin tones, but they’re not for my fair skin. I am excited about the glosses though. I guess I expected more. I still love them though and I love the look you created ❤

Only watching this for you. I just can’t get down with Kaleidos’ new direction. What’s the fixation with the uterus? And more purple and smoky quads? It’s just so disappointing at this point

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

Haha I love the design!

Purple smoky quads have definitely been done before by them, I agree. But the uterus packaging is kind of cool lol being a woman is empowering 💜

[@mymakeupgarden]

[@19Carmelita92]

I know they’re probably trying to appeal more to the Douyin makeup trend, but I still felt like they could have chosen colors other than purple and gray for the eyeshadows… blue, pink, green? These quads are just way too similar to their previous 4. The blushes are all so similar and way too light. Not even remotely inclusive. Even for Douyin makeup it’s not the best they could have done. Idk what they were thinking. The glosses interest me but as a Kaleidos STAN I’m wildly disappointed .

[@LL-zb3dl]

This is exactly how I feel!

[@PC1989]

It seems like the blush colors are playing hide-and-seek 😬

[@angelarobinson8299]

Your look was very beautiful 😊

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

Thank you so much!!💖💕

[@samantharuber9498]

Really disappointed that they are so similar to the last Kaleidos release of quads. I can’t believe that they did ALL super light blushes! I get that the other blushes looked super bold but they could have done a deeper mauvey purple blush. Right now I’m only interested in the lip shines. I’ll probably boycott though to make the point that we are all sick of them repeating their quads. Too bad they were my absolute favorite indie brand eyeshadows. 😞

[@valeriewilliams6294]

If you take last release and this release they actually blend and compliment each other. Hard to fathom people like you are complaining to boycott Kalideos already. You must have absolutely blown a gasket then over Pat McGrath like 6 releases all the same nearly. That's an idea go pick on PM and leave Kalideos alone. They are a good company and tell me who else makes those beautiful cases like they do, absolutely stunning unlike any other

[@samantharuber9498]

@@valeriewilliams6294 that’s another reason I almost never buy PM. Kaleidos has such an amazing shadow formula so hopefully they will hear their loyal customer base and rethink their neutral direction. TBH I like Kaleidos formula MORE that PM.

[@shimmercoconut]

Glad I saw this they could have went deeper with the blushes

[@corelladoll2051]

I’m just curious. Where do you store all these products? Don’t they take up a lot of room?

As a fan of this brand, I was excited about this collection due to its packaging. However, their blushes appeared too light in the promo pictures and on your swatches. Overall, you never disappoint in creating a beautiful look.

[@camillapinto7877]

Call me colour blind but I really thought there is no difference in these new quads from the ones I saw before on their site. Purplish, silverish... taupe thing.... really nice tho. Shame it is too expensive to order for the UK

[@naminelove8951]

Love the packaging the color story reminds me of another palette HUDA BEAUTY ROSE QUARTZ

Lovely 🌹

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

Thank you! 💜💜

[@rabbiroz3806]

Heather, you know that those blushes are too light for almost anyone's skin tone. Maybe I'll pick up the quads and one gloss, but not even sure about those because they feel very repetitive of the last purple and mauve quads. Quite a disappointing release from a favorite brand.

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

Definitely so, I hope my video was helpful 💞🥰

[@Babymuexlue]

I adore you and any content you put out so what im about to say has nothing to do with you lolol. Its all out of our control what a brand decides to do. You know? This is the first time im seeing the blush shades and i am not impressed. These will not show up on deeper skin tones. I honestly dont know who these blushes would flatter cause they are so dusty. I can hardly see them on your skin. Plus the quads are way too similar to what they already have released quad wise. I am not feeling this collection at all. I thought it was pretty in the promo pictures, but now that im seeing this stuff in action the whole collection is a giant disappointment. Kaleidos needs to step their game up or they gon get lost in the sauce.

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

I’m glad my video was helpful! I definitely agree the blushes are too light for me so I’m glad you were able to see that 💕thanks for watching!

[@SouthernYankee]

The eyeshadow is gorgeous but the blush shades are way too light. I have medium skin tone and that wouldn’t do it for me. I love blush and I want it to show. Shame they didn’t have a couple darker blush shades not just for medium but also dark skin.

[@HeatherAustinmakeup]

I’d say look at the shades from their last blush release, more pigment and variety but still the same gorgeous formulas 🥰💖

[@monicabellmakeup]

@@HeatherAustinmakeup Sadly, the only dark skin-friendly blush they have is like a bright red....

[@irinatanase7150]

Kaleidos has been doing a lot of greys lately which is great for people who love greys and cool toned neutrals, but grey really washes me out. Really wanted to see some warm/ true neutral tones from them cause I love their formula. Would have even loved if it was all pinky like the packaging.

[@laurenb4621]

Beautiful eye look, Heather, as always but I don’t understand this release at all. It’s been done by them already - purple and grey quads - and what are those blushes?! They all look the same and are only for fair skin??? I think they missed the mark. We need a fall version of Club Nebula! They need to collab again for some range and inspiration.

Beautiful cool color collection, very different than previous color collection from kaleidos. Blushes though??.. not for dark skin tone very odd..

[@squeakco]

You’re gorgeous so you can turn this collection into gold. Not for me though. Blushes are too light, all the glosses are basically pink, and the quads are nothing special. The blushes from the last collection were beautiful and I love the lip cloud colors. This collection is just too bland.

Heather is lovely and vibrant as usual ♡ but this collection is 🤮 i think they want to go more to the nude basic side since it sells more, but then we already have the Standard popular brands that already do this very well, not a good move from the brand in my opinion.

[@kikodiva5808]

This is such a boring dusty collection - and only for the fair ones of the world. Smdh. I haven't been interested in Kaleidos in a while. It kind of makes me wonder if they've given up on the American market tbh because the depth is not there. My disappointment is palpable. Where's the innovation? Where's the color? Glad the lippies are nice, but frankly I really only care about eyeshadow from indie brands because I shop at Ulta for everything else out of convenience and to save money. For me to pay overseas shipping and wait the 3 weeks to almost a month for an order from Kaleidos they have to do better than this. That's ok, plenty of indie brands out there cater to my more colorful taste!

[@addiewoodcroft]

The eye quads look beautiful but the blushes look like total duds...Someone would have to be very pale to even see them. The glosses all look very close in color too. Love the eye look you created!

[@denisesheffield481]

Agree!

[@karlieneporter4939]

I think kaleidos dropped the ball on this collection. The quads look so similar to the previous collection. The blushes are a waste unless you're a ghost Lip oil gloss hybrid are available 10 to the dozen . Save your money

I don’t understand the choise to create these blushes. They are too Pail also for light people. Boh 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ingajeffrey1978]

I'm disappointed in this Kaleidos release, honestly. The quads seem too similar to previous releases. And the blushes are far too pale. They barely even show up on your fair mid-tone.

[@blendofdays]

I was totally unimpressed by this launch til I saw the blushes!! They're so PRETTY! I recently have become very interesting in super pale, super desaturate almost grey toned blushes! I have this grey toned highlight/blush topper & on my plaster skin tone it looks beautiful I swear! It's definitely for the more "adventurous" but also extremely pale complected. It's sad for anyone who's med-deep complected but at least they released a good assortment of blushes in the past. 🩶
