Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism Palette! Swatches, Ingredients, Value, and MORE!

[@tammytamhotdamn5954]

Have you tried using the subculture and prism palettes together? They work so well together bc for almost every colored shimmer in one palette, there Is a similar colored matte shade in the other palette to use in the crease

[@amberleitl1]

Tammytamhotdamn totally agree!

[@rosebank777]

I am so agreeing with you. They are perfect match. I 100 percent believed that the strategy of the two palettes were made to sell us two instead of one.

[@avismurphy5410]

I absolutely love this palette! I’ve used every color in it. I usually have to pull in lighter transition shades, but that’s easy since nearly every palette I own has them in spades. The glitter/ shimmer shades go on beautifully with a glitter glue first and a flat “concealer” brush. And sphere is gorgeous to blend out crease colors, both warm and cool shades. But blending isn’t exactly the right word. It’s more of a light aura of color around the already blended crease shades. And I agree that dimension and throne are the stand-outs.

[@ArielAtchley]

I was really impressed with the extreme amount of detail you went into for this review. It really makes you stand out from the crowd and was really useful.

[@dianaeidelshtein3953]

I have Prism palette and it is awesome and amazing I have no problems with any color in it just love ❤️

[@BrookePBlushingNoir]

I almost passed up on this one until I played with it in store. It's too stunning to miss out on! Loving it!

[@jackiejenson]

Brooke P Me too! I thought it was so ugly, but now I am obsessed after playing with it! 😂

[@BrookePBlushingNoir]

SAME! I was the same way with Subculture. I bought that one just as like a "challenge accepted" type of moment and I did SO many looks with it. It's probably one of my most used palettes. I passed on the ABH Mario and regretted it ever since. I really think that at this point I should just buy them because chances are I'm going to love it in person!

[@keely_cn8924]

I played with it too, but only really loved like four of the colors so I just bought dupes. I had dupes that performed better for the other colors. It's a unique batch of colors. I find prism and subculture very inspiring the way they are set up though.

[@jackiejenson]

Brooke P I totally agree!!! I use my Subculture more than I use Modern Renaissance! I can’t wait to see the new palettes! But my boyfriend might break up with me if I buy them all! 😂😭

[@BrookePBlushingNoir]

LMAO My husband gets points at work to trade in for gift cards and one of the gift card options is Sephora. I keep telling him "happy wife happy life" lmao

[@Birdnerdtina]

1st review I’ve disagreed with. I absolutely love mine!! I do appreciate your honesty and thoroughness! All palettes wont work for all people! Amazing channel!

[@jennyshavarska9101]

I am still waiting for an Anastasia palette that will grab my heart...i am so sorry i was not into makeup when the Mario came out

[@jackiejenson]

Jenny Shavarska I think there is supposed to be a second Mario palette! Hopefully you like that one! :)

[@taraball1030]

jackievongrimm I missed out on the 1st mario palette so hopefully I can snag the 2nd one!!!!

[@jennyshavarska9101]

jackievongrimm omg i hope soo

[@DamnitDanniDanielle]

I don't often make comments, but i wanted to give you a tip about lighting (especially for the demo). If you turn on the 'zebra lines' in your camera you'll be able to see the hot spots of your lighting easily. Then you can use a friend or one of your kids to sit in to see if the lighting is balanced. The lighting was so bright and close to you in the demo it interferes with being able to accurately see what you're doing.

[@ThaliaRam]

I got the prism palette and I LOVE it! I have no idea why lucid and osiris are showing up like that on you, I have a deeper skintone (NC 42-44) and they all finger swatch beautifully on me...

[@serenalucia7679]

As an artist,I enjoy how I really have to think of color combos with this palette.I only use my finger and the brush that came with this palette(finger/flat side for applying and fluffy side for blending)and have been happy with the quality and its versatility. 😊 This palette actually got me out of my artist's block because of how much I enjoyed the looks I've made with this 😂

[@brittanykeller5107]

After having a rough night w a sick baby, this video made my morning! I appreciate all the time and research you do! Thanks, Jen!

[@nasreenn6628]

I disagree about the shadow quality. All the shimmers (including lucid) apply well for me when I use my finger. I've used lucid in the inner corner without a base and with a dry finger and it came out great (I went for a slytherin look with throne on the outer corner, lucid in the inner, blended the two in the middle and I loved it). In addition, I see so many eye looks when I see this palette. I have so many ideas of what I want to do that it gets me to try different and bold looks. I will agree about osiris and it was disappointing. I haven't given up on it yet though!

[@GigiH-nt8lb]

I usually agree with Jen too but she was a bit off here. But we have to remember she is not a makeup artist or super good at eyeshadows. She is very mediocre average at eyeshadow application. But that can be helpful in viewers knowing they might have the same limitations as Jen.

[@jomali9143]

Nasreen N this is an example on how to post a disagree comment on KZbin 🙏🏼

[@mariaclark8180]

I think Jen got a dud, my Prism performs flawless. Her palette swatched nothing like mine. All of the foiled/shimmers in this palette are Amazing and easy to work with. I believe she based her review off the palette she has, but I also believe her palette isn’t the same quality as many others.

[@elisabethmiller8654]

I am enjoying this palette. I kind of like the fact that the really warm shimmers aren’t extremely intense/metallic. It makes them more wearable for me. I love the mattes except the black but I don’t even use black eyeshadow. Lucid only works decently with a finger, but that’s a dud for me too. Surprisingly I’m loving sphere kind of as a transition with the orange matte.

[@darklausal23]

I am loving ❤ this palette, I was not going to get it, but I'm glad I changed my mind

[@Beautyjoy98]

PLEASE TRY USING THE SHORT SMUDGER SIDE OF THE BRUSH THAT COMES WITH THE PALETTE TO PICK UP THE METALLIC SHADES. GENTLE PUSH FORWARD INTO THE SHADOW AND THE TAPERED BRISTLES PICK UP THE METALLIC SHADES SO WELL. Sorry for the all caps but I want you/people to see this comment . I really hope this helps everyone!!!♡♡

[@thejentaur2821]

Ellen Beauty Joy I really agree with your comment 👏 I actually find that the brush that comes with the palette works pretty well, and I've had good results! Like I've said on previous comments though, I don't have 'studio' lighting when I do my makeup so I might look awful and not know 😹🙈

[@christineronewicz5949]

Ellen Beauty Joy thanks for the info I got this palette friday, and haven't tried it on my eyes yet, but will play with it this week 😊…

[@Beautyjoy98]

christine ronewicz I hope you have a great time experimenting with this palette. The tip I gave works for the metallic's in the subculture palette too. Good luck!!

[@anakano9273]

YES! This! This all the way! It doesn't seem like a particularly special brush on its own, but I personally I think it works well with the palette.

[@christineronewicz5949]

Ellen Beauty Joy thanks 😊 I will remember that 😊…

[@Shadowsandflowers]

I've used Sphere several ways. Today I'm wearing Sphinx all over the lid with Saturn in the crease focusing on the outer portion. I then used Sphere in the inner crease and inner corner, but mixed it with Lucid in the inner corner. It sounds dramatic, but actually came out warm/neutral. I've also used it as an inner corner and kind of a lower lashline liner with Throne in the inner and outer thirds and Osiris in the middle and smoking out the bottom lashline. I used Lure as my transition/crease shade for that look. I've seen several looks using Sphere in the inner corner and Dimension over the lid that look really nice. You could use it instead of Unity in the look you did before you topped it with the shimmer shades. You could use it in the inner corner and a little higher almost near the brow bone with Unity on the lid and Eden/Saturn in the outer corner/crease. I could also see it all over the lid (over a base) with Saturn/Eden in the crease and Parallel in the outer corner. For a really dramatic look you could do Sphere over the lid fading into Obsidian. Kathleenlights did a nice look layering it over Throne to create a lighter green. Mostly inner corner, lower lashline liner, and in the crease mixed with the pinky orangey shades.

[@halfleftdawn725]

I think the brands are more concerned about a gorgeous swatch, rather than beautiful eye application. Even the cheapest shimmer shades will usually swatch beautifully, but then won't pick up in a brush. Get with it, makeup brands... We know swatches don't tell half the story.

[@thejentaur2821]

HalfLeft Dawn I actually really like the palette, but you have an EXCELLENT point 👏 More consideration about usability and shade placement would be an idea for the companies to concentrate on as the majority of their customers are 'normal' users, rather than makeup artists 😸💕

[@karlawhite9285]

I love Subculture, but don’t use it all the time. I bought The Prism Palette, and find it more my style. It’s totally personal preference, but I like prism better. They are fun to use together... and now I want Modern Renaissance 🙄

[@Mel-pb5xw]

Karla White it's definitely a must have!! Impressed that you've held out so long!

[@taraball1030]

Karla White You will LOVE the modern renaissance palette!!!!

[@Ebichuchu]

Girl if you’ve bought these two palettes you NEED MR in order to see the magic ABH is really capable of 😭😭

[@nicegigi6299]

Modern Renaissance is my favorite palette ever. And I'm 48! I've seen a lot of eye-shadows in my days.

[@amberleitl1]

Karla White they are super fun to use together you def need modern renaissance it's like the best palette of all time!

[@Manda11889]

*HOW TO USE SPHERE* Hey Jen, I love your channel! I have the palette and I personally love it! When I bought the palette there was an Anastasia Rep with a Prism GET THE LOOK booklet, and it shows how to use some of the shades, including Sphere. I’ll leave the “GET THE LOOK” Instructions below: •Use LURE to contour the crease. •Define the outer crease with SATURN. •Apply SPHERE to inner lid and inner lower lash line. •Apply DIMENSION to the center of the lid. •Define outer crease and lower lash line with OBSIDIAN. •Highlight brow bone and inner corner with LUCID. •Apply liner. *HOPE THIS HELPS!*

[@anakano9273]

I'm going to pause and take a second to nerd out here. Because a) I feel its relevant, and b) that this IS the space to nerd out. :) From wikipedia: "In optics, a prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. " "In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron comprising an n-sided polygonal base, a second base which is a translated copy (rigidly moved without rotation) of the first, and n other faces (necessarily all parallelograms) joining corresponding sides of the two bases." So I can see why one might be disappointed in the non-rainbow color range, but my nerdy STEM self so appreciates the homage to math with names like parallel, unity, and dimension. (I think Stephanie Nicole mentioned this too)

[@jenluv]

Haha! Thanks for this! I get it with the names, but did you see anything in the palette shades that said "prism" to you? Gurl....just give me some rainbow! Haha!

[@jomali9143]

A Nakano sphere 🤓. Maths teacher here. The artist in me is disappointed that sphere is not red toned with Kandinsky and yellow one isn’t called something triangle related hehe

[@TiaMariaWigCoach]

I did a warm Look with this palette using the neon green as an Inner corner highlight and it looked awesome :)

[@tjloutzenhiser2503]

i love this palette as well as sub culture. i have no problem with either palette. and i get so many compliments when i wear them. i also use them together to compliment each other.

[@EclipseLleuad]

I just bought this palette yesterday and it's great! I actually had this video sitting in my to watch list but forgot about it until today. I am so glad I watched your review after I bought it because I wouldn't have otherwise. I was so shocked at how bad the shadows looked in your swatches! I immediately pulled mine out to re-swatch and breathed a sigh of relief when it all turned out beautiful. Tip: use the flat side of the double ended brush it came with to apply the shimmer shades. Question: why does everyone who does brush swatches swatch in a downwards motion? No one applies eye shadows that way. Don't people blend their shadows left and right? Am I the only one who finds it odd that people are brush swatching like they're finger swatches?

[@sheryl5265]

Thank you for such an honest review. It feels unbiased and real. I appreciate it!

[@mirandakrase1985]

I didn't think I would like Sphere or use it at all and I decided in a moment of inspiration to try to make an editorial look with it and I would up making a pretty halo eye because I used Unity on the lid as a base, Sphere in the crease and then added Eden to that and I LOVED the way it transformed the color! I was surprised, it felt like it changed the color a bit and was very flattering on me. I myself really enjoy the brush it came with, it blends my crease beautifully and the shader brush helps me pack color onto my lids. The shimmers work perfectly for me when I wet my brush, it fades a tiny bit but that's because I don't have setting spray anymore. Soon I'm going to mix this palette with my others, but I just got it November 10th and I like to keep my new makeup separate so I can properly judge it.

[@caityvokes7323]

I liked using sphere blown out as a transition/crease shade, it's surprisingly beautiful.

[@jenedwardsfazio6105]

Love how thorough your reviews are!!

[@EarthIncompatible]

It seems like brands are coming out with palettes meant for artists rather than the makeup enthusiast. That's not a bad thing, but maybe they could include some packaging or even online content geared toward those of us who lack the artistic instinct. Do a "color theory spotlight" where they create a more complex look and show us *why* it works. Help us learn to use the whole palette, not just copy a look. Honestly, I'd love to see that kind of thing from any brand!

[@abbyskirvin5641]

I always appreciate your thorough reviews Jen! I got this palette with my birthday coupon from ABH. It is definitely a challenge to come up with looks although it's a beautiful palette in my opinion. Dimension is a beautiful shade especially over a black base. I use it with glitter glue and it is stunning.

[@AwakingOceanborn]

I’m so glad I’m on a no buy right now, because I’m that kind of geek that would’ve picked up this Palette just for its name/shade names despite knowing there’s a bunch of colours I wouldn’t touch ever, I’ll get the subculture instead. Lovely review Jen, I don’t know if anyone has ever told you but your voice in the swatch bit (the voice over I’m guessing) is specially soothing and you’re doing my migraine a favour.

[@jenluv]

Oh, I'm so glad to help! I like my swatch voice much better than my not-swatching voice. Something about doing a voiceover calms me down too! :)

[@ind1gnat1on]

Absolutely loving your makeup in this video!

[@JenniferWise1011]

I’m so glad I watched this. I was really close to buying this palette. I already have the Subculture and now I don’t think I need both. Congrats on passing 100K Jen! You so deserve it. Much love 😘

[@jenluv]

Thank you so much, Jennifer!!!

[@mistyparsons7710]

What a great thorough review, Jen!!❤️

[@M3GPie]

I have the prism palette and I absolutely love it. I get compliments on my makeup every day I wear it. I use a sigma E55 for the shimmery shades and it works perfectly. My favorite shade in the palette is pyramid. I could wear it everyday. It’s beautiful and it lasts all day on me. I’d buy the palette just for pyramid. I love using sphere in the inner corner. This is my favorite palette and I have a large palette collection.

[@jenluv]

Thanks so much, Megan! I appreciate your advice!

[@amberleitl1]

Megan Box yes! love pyramid too! I also use a sigma e55

[@M3GPie]

The palette can be hard to use but the E55 is like magic. 😊

[@cassandrareinhart1712]

Love Lure! Beautiful as a transition shade for a cool-toned look!

[@Zuddziemanicures]

I combined lure, Osiris, and dimension and came out with a great purple look. I use fix plus with a very dense short brush.

[@marinasolt6232]

Just tried that - super pretty result.

[@annalearodriguez5291]

I love the way you do your reviews BTW. Keep up the good work, Jen! 😊

[@ShaRaeBurr]

This was fun. Always thorough, accurate and interesting. Love your reviews Jen. Yess!!! 💓💓💓 I would love the prism even just for the yellow.

[@ShaRaeBurr]

Not that I can afford it tho.

[@summerofstacey6676]

Jen, this is my favorite sort of video out of all the ones you do! I really appreciate all the preparation and research you do--I know that it is time-consuming. Please keep doing these reviews. : )

[@jenluv]

+Stacey Figueroa I’m so glad Stacey!

[@ginaahearn616]

I just bought that pallet and got 20% off and for mature woman 40 and above I think it’s a great pallet I thought the shimmers were very nice and the mats were wonderful

[@kctrash3208]

I just bought this the other day because the color scheme is very unique to my collection and I've always wanted to try an ABH palette, but couldn't justify it for the pricing. It was on sale at Sephora and I finally picked it up, and I kind of feel the opposite about it. I apply all lid colors with my finger because I can't be bothered with brushes (unless its a shade that could really use a wet brush application) unless it's for the crease. The shimmers (except pyramid, which was disappointing) went on really well using just my fingertips, but I had a bigger problem with the matte shadows. It seems like they won't blend unless I set my primer with an eyeshadow, but alternatively, I don't think the shimmers stick when I do that. It's kind of weird, but I think I can work with them with practice. Nice review as always :) I like seeing new perspectives on how to use products!

[@dumbwiseblonde]

I was on the fence as to if I ‘needed’ this palette.. this morning I watched Rawbeautykristi’s review and thought I could recreate her look with my Saint/Sinner... I own Subculture and after seeing you pull out the unique shades from prism I realized I could live without them or I had something similar already. Thanks for saving my $$$ !

[@jmckay331]

I have made it work so far. No issues. I use base and Wayne goss brushes which are natural hair and super soft. I used the ABH concealbrush for the shimmer and did use fix+ in order to actually get it to work. It isn’t as creamy as the LIla shimmers which apply without fix+. I have only used the one shimmer so far so cannot speak to all of them yet. But the mattes have blended well and didn’t look patchy. But then again I like the subculture palette too. So if you like the subculture you will like this one. if you didn’t like subculture; while this one is better, I have a feeling you won’t like prism either.

[@jenluv]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@rachelbarker583]

I absolutely love lucid and I feel it is best used as a highlight or topper and wet

[@sundaymorningbeef]

I use Lucid (Prism) and Cube (Subculture) as an inner corner highlight and I've found they look great and last beautifully.

[@tokyotammy]

I keep saying I dislike this palette, and I went back to Ulta on Sunday and swatched it again. I've done this a few times since returning it because the colors are just so eye-catching. Then, I did some side by side swatches with the Lorac Mega Pro 4 palette on my arm, even though the colors are different. Then I wiped them off, and Lorac did WAY better with the wipe test. The Prism colors were all gone before the Lorac ones. That confirmed that I made the right decision returning this palette.

[@missmackenziex]

For lucid, I only use it in the inner corner with a pencil brush. I really have to dig to get a decent amount of product, but I'm not mad at it. I've also used sphere in the inner corner. I love this palette because I enjoy the metallics and smokiness, especially during the holidays.

[@amberleitl1]

I've used sphere one the inner part of my lid with throne on the outer, have also used it as transition, and used it all over the lid with lure in my crease all looks came out really good you can also use it under pyramid to add some dimension

[@chrissye2392]

I think your eyes look great!! I think the colors look great on your skin tone.

[@sarahabc4557]

Other than my viseart palettes, ABH makes my favorite eyeshadows formula. From all the ones I have, and I have a lot, I find myself reaching for Prism, & the master palette the most.

[@snaojao8136]

I really like how you seated subculture shades with the Prism shades. Nice review.

[@amypanddirtytoo1926]

Honestly you might not have been happy with the look but I think it looks beautiful on you. I'd be more disappointed in some migrating Pat McGrath expensive-ass lip products!!!

[@kookootrix1978]

I have some Loreal shimmers that looked way better than the ABH shimmers looked in this vid, in swatches or the eye look!

[@alexagolden9172]

I️ love the comparison to the other palette. Those always help me so I️ don’t spend too much money on a new palette when I️ already have similar shades.

[@hemjavgoli3191]

Great review Jen! I’ve had this palette for about a month and I have not used it yet- the colours are intimidating- just pretty to look at, lol

[@olessiatchijova8605]

I’ve bought the Prism Pallete a while ago and for work the lighter colors (especially the mattes) are just perfect. I’ve been reaching for it a ton. The darker shades.. I’m trying to figure out a wearable look as well, but that’s the fun of makeup. You can get as creative as you like and hey - it washes off, so no big deal ❤️

[@olessiatchijova8605]

I use my fingers mostly for the shimmer shades, to be honest ❤️❤️❤️

[@lafevebl]

Hey Jen...i have to honestly disagree with you on this palette. I found the colors went on great and looked beautiful. I really love this palette 💄💄💄😉

[@ashc6520]

[@barbramacedo9377]

Lord have mercy! I love the way you do a full review 😍

[@vibeatles]

Thanks for this review. Have the palettes Modern Renaissance, my favorite, and the other day I bought the Subculture at Sephora-Puerto Rico and I really love, no problem with it, so far. It's interesting how you also add the colors with name at the bottom of the screen, the rectangular, , to see a more accurate shade. 😉👍

[@rachelo1966]

Love your reviews! Keep up the good work!

[@marinasolt6232]

Sphere is great to mix with other colors. I put it over Axis from Subculture which makes a beautiful, more green-toned teal shade. It also makes a pretty color over Saturn. 😊 Neither of these palettes are the easiest to use, but I’m inspired by their unique shades. I feel the same way about Saint and Sinner...it makes me want to experiment and get creative.

[@shanianjohnny2015]

Yah. I’ve been waiting on this all week. Thank you.

[@mahiraopel3224]

I do like both of them but I mostly pair or use them with my other pallets.I do apply all my shimmer shades with fingers but I always use a glitter glue regardless of they type of shadow ( Matt,satin or shimmer).However,I do apply base,crease and accent colours with Real Techniques brushes.Love them.

[@EVEspinosa79]

That yellow one, looks like it would pair nicely with the pink/mauve ones and browns. But it would absolutely make more sense to have a color like that one on a more summer inspired palette.

[@nikki8249]

Thanks for your thorough review. I did purchase this palette, but haven't tried it yet-bought too much makeup lately 😲 I'm looking forward to trying it out very soon-hope I enjoy it-the colors are very nice 👍🏻 💖✨🎨👍🏻

[@shelbycates7]

i said the same thing on rawbeautykristis video but i think it bears repeating here- for me, the mattes are on par with the mattes in modern renaissance and master by mario (the only other abh palettes i own). in my opinion, the shimmer shades are meant to be used as “toppers” that was my intention when i bought the palette and im so in love with it and beyond happy with its performance. the only shade i’m not 10/10 happy with is lucid, but it can easily be fixed with some setting spray. using the shimmer shades with a flat brush or just dabbing it on the lid with your finger. overall this is an amazing palette for me and i feel as though the intention with this palette was to use the shimmers as “toppers”

[@jackiejenson]

I’m so excited for this video, even though I already have the palette! :). My Modern Renaissance also has a six month shelf life.

[@jackiejenson]

The shimmers/duo chromes look really nice with the nyx glitter primer! I have had no issues :).

[@Saradelille]

I love that pallet and actually travel with it

[@alisonehtisham3709]

I was torn on this one until I saw it next to the Kat Von D Saint and Sinner palette. They have quite a few similar colors and after swatching them side by side, I went with KVD and haven't regretted it! It's so much more cohesive and it's pretty easy to come up with looks with it!

[@jenluv]

Good call! Especially if you like bolder colors!

[@PencilsandPancakes]

Aw I picked up this palette during the 15% off sale, and it's disheartening to see negative reviews start popping up now. I've been avoiding RawBeautyKristi's video, especially because I really trust her (and your) opinion, and I'd like to still give it a shot without preconceived notions when it arrives. I love the colors in this palette so I'm really hoping I can make it work ;_;

[@jenluv]

+PencilsandPancakes There are quite a few people in the comments here that have tips and tricks for how to use the shades best. I’m hoping that some of them will be able to give you some inspiration and best practices that I hadn’t thought of. I really do like the matte shades, as long as I’m careful with them. It’s just the shimmers I’m having a difficult time with.

[@PencilsandPancakes]

Thank you for the reply! I'll keep an eye out for some tips in the comments if I do have trouble. You have such a lovely comments section : )

[@dawnsully88]

Rawbeautykristi tried so much to make it work. And her look came out really pretty. With the amount of eye shadows out there right now especially brands like colorpop and bh cosmetics who have palettes for under $20 its hard for me to justify paying $42 for a palette that i know im going to have to work at. Colorpop has some of the best shimmers out there and its pretty effortless. Just my 2 cents 😁

[@taraball1030]

Dawn Sullivan I agree 100%!!!

[@carolmakeup2222]

I love mine i never had problem blending the colors u can see it in my Instagram Carolsmakeup88

[@sundaymorningbeef]

Samantha Ravndahl has a great Prism tutorial. She was challenged by Sphere as well and used it to create a great warm sunset look with Saturn, Eden, and parallel I think.

[@lorifrederick2367]

I have Prism and Subculture, and I now rethink both as one giant palatte. I will open them and use palattes in conjunction with each other. (The colors make more sense to me this way). I wish I had the courage to de-pot them both and place in color order in a Z.

[@rociosegoviano3627]

I actually got a super wearable look (at least to me) using sphere. I used it on the inner corner with Sphinx on the lid and pyramid to top that off just in the center. In the crease I used lure and outer v blended into crease under lure was parallel.

[@onemooreperson13]

I have the palette and I have been enjoying it. I did some of the comparison swatches with you and don't see them as similarly as you do, especially within the palette. Im going to try the shimmers with nyx glitter primer in the next few days cause that really helped with other low performing shimmers in the past.

[@toomanicolors3505]

I love the color combo in the ABH Prism palette! The colors inspire me to do different looks. I agree the mattes in this palette are better than the shimmers tho.

[@KaelaPMcGee]

the shimmers only work with a finger I find, And then I intensify with a top layer using a flat brush and setting spray

[@pintxsized]

i agree, Jen. I got this palette because I was excited but i just didn't get it either. I tried a few looks and just realized that it didn't inspire me - I ended up returning it.

[@meghanfreitas3265]

Thank you! I have been waiting for you and raw beauty Kristi to review this before I got it and thanks for saving me the $42 ❤️

[@amberleitl1]

Also I've had no problems with the shimmer shades except lucid and I use sigma e55 and I believe e57 or 56 (the thin one)

[@caseyknows]

I've seen people use Sphere on the lower lash line. Looks amazing.

[@BrittanyLaurenWhalen]

I love my prism palette. I don't know why people are having such a hard time trying to figure out looks with it. I have been using it every time I put makeup on because I have so many ideas. My only complaint is that I notice the mattes fade on my eyelids at the end of the day because my lids are very oily. I have this problem with a lot of eyeshadows. I am going to try it with the Nars eye primer that I just purchased off sephora. Hopefully it will help make them last longer.

[@tamanna4707]

Always love watching ur work.Thank u.

[@essentiallysammie5209]

I haven’t been drawn to the palette like i was subculture. Thanks for comparing them! I thought they looks similar

[@1sweetmess]

I agree!! I got this and it's ok. I can definitely relate to you when creating a look and you're like 😦 ugh what am I going to do here?? I tried out different shadow primers and I used UD potion primer and Makeup Revolution's Aqua seal and the aqua seal seemed to work a lot better for me. Some shadows worked better on top of others and instead of wetting my brush to get the metallics shadows to stick, I used more aqua seal primer before applying the metallic with my fingers. I really loved the turn out from wetting a bullet crease brush with Obsidian, Osiris, and Throne.

Love that you compared it to Subculture. I have Subculture and I’m so happy I passed on Prism because they are incredibly similar palettes. Throne is definitely calling my name but $42 for one color in a palette is too much or me.

Thank you for this review. I was on the fence about buying this palette.

[@veehart6600]

I have the Prism and I love love it! 😍

[@meitalkabeli509]

Thanks for your review. So far I have avoided all of the ABH eye shadow palettes, and do not regret it at all. None of them seem to be my style.

[@kittascornerinwonderland3695]

Jen you always do the best reviews . Just so much thought. I can't afford to buy any abh pallets right now ,but I'd love to try the modern Renaissance . I just may have to bite the bullet and get it.. I think I'll be sipping the latest 2 they just don't do it or me. Especially if shop hush has dupes that are so much more affordable. Thank you for putting in so much effort into each of your videos.

Thanks for the great info, Jen! I think I am going to pass on this one, and yes it was you who swayed me as I was going to pick it up this week during all the sales. What did it for me was when you said that you love shimmer shadows and that they just weren't working in this palette. I am totally a shimmer girl as well, and I don't want to have to go to all that effort to get the color payoff, especially in a palette this expensive. Honestly, I have shimmer shades in Makeup Revolution palettes that are great and easy to use, and don't even get me started on Makeup Geeks shadows. For $42, considering the pan size, the shadows should be amazing across the board and something I can use even if I am in a hurry without worrying about leaving myself extra time just to get the shadows to work.

I"ve had luck with Lucid as an inner corner highlight and brow bow highlight with a pencil smudger brush but it did need to be wet to get the best color payoff. I have played with this palette for about a week and have been enjoying it so much, but I like doing smokey and sultry looks all the damn time. It has some color combos in it that can create a really fire warm toned look too. Kind of amazing at halo style looks.

But I have no GD idea what to use sphere for. It's probably going to be used on the bottom lashes for an accent color if I'm being real honest.

I absolutely love this palette. I did not buy Subculture because it reminded me of a 70's color scheme and it turned me off. However, Prism is pops out, is different and applies beautiful. I haven't had any issues with any shade, so it may just be technique, like with subculture if you go heavy handed. I think these shimmers apply a lot like MR palette. I always apply with fingers and fix plus. Never a brush, but that's my preference.

What lip color are you wearing? I love it

One of the reasons why I️ subscribed to your channel is because we have similar coloring and thought I️ would be able to figure out what might work on me too. I️ LOVE your reviews. You can’t be much more thorough than that! I’m new again to this makeup thing... I️ actually really liked this look on you and I️ find it to be very wearable. I️ just used the prism palette for the first time this morning (risky as I️ was getting ready for work) I️ agree with you about the matte shades. I️ don’t mind the shimmer because I️ don’t like a lot of sparkle. I’m still “eh” about this palette though.

Welcome! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@CYR1983]

I was waiting for the review.. yay!

[@unerevuese]

I actually like applying the shimmer shades from the PRISM palette with a sponge tip applicator on top of a glitter glue ( I always add glitter glue to my eyelids to prevent creasing). The formula of those shimmers is not meant to be applied wet.

[@melissasister1721]

I lovee the abh prisms palettes😍

[@M3GPie]

Modern renaissance has a six month shelf life too.

[@brandi5730]

Megan Box does you’re pallet still work well

[@angelagenx6629]

Definitely keep doing the tutorials in your reviews. Swatches are great and are helpful, but seeing the product used where and how it’s supposed to be used is so much more useful when deciding if I’m going to purchase. Also, if at least half of the shades in a palette are subpar, then I pass. The Prism palette just doesn’t have the wow factor for me.
