I've been getting a lot of comments about the white eyeshadow looking more pink after wearing it a while...at one point in the video, I put some of the matte pink crease shade on top of the white to tone it down, so that's why it looked more pink. I actually liked the result...it was really pretty! But I still feel like even though I got one nice look out of it, I wouldn't use the other shimmers much. I do use dark shimmers sometimes for my outer corner but I'm disappointed that it doesn't have more all-over lid shades. ❤️

Hi Jen, Put a rosy or pink matte eyeshadow underneath, or even a liquid eyeshadow as you would do a cut crease. This way you can make it work and get good use out of this palette for sure. Or you can lighten up those darker shimmers with this icy pink. 😊makeup is fun! 🤩

Thank you Jen for your always honest and thoughtful reviews. I saw a few other KZbinrs review the Sydney Grace palette after getting it from the PR list and no one really talked about the shimmer shades and how they'll use it in a practical way in their day-to-day life. I ordered it and now I wish I hadn't. Like you I got caught up in how pretty and soft the colors looked but I don't love dark shimmer shades either and while your look came out pretty I also don't wear light frosty white shimmers and in your swatches the palette looks much deeper than it does on their website. I should have waited for your review!

Most of them (and especially on instagram) will praise whatever SG will send them (Ive been observing them for a long time lol) so I wouldnt go to them for any objective well done honest reviews. Even Emily Noel. Noone goes deep into it and can say things as they are even if its their fave brand. I like SG too but like Jen I am able to say when smth is not amazing or that its not as perfect as anyone makes it to be and thats how it should be especially if people listen to your opinion to decide on getting it or not.

Indoor lighting always looks different (even without bright camera lights). It's more yellow and warm because I often do my makeup in the bathroom mirror and then I go outside and it looks different in the sunlight. I do think that the outdoor lighting washes things out for the camera so you can't really trust that either. When I was sitting in my car, the lighting made my makeup look very faded on camera but in real life it looked bolder and more intense.

I’d like some light shimmers that are not too frosty looking . So far, I haven’t found a perfect pallet, but luckily I can cultivate my own pallet from the multiple Colourpop pallets I have. It is nice to have that option. Between Colourpop Smoke N Roses and Cold Stone Fox- and a few other pallets, I was able to make a few different travel pallets that are perfect for me!

Hey Jen! Would you ever consider making a video specifically about blushes that aren't too pigmented? I am looking to buy a new one, but in most people's videos regarding best blushes they say something along the lines of "it's the best one i have, it's super pigmented." I have pale skin and am specifically looking for a blush that doesn't give off too much colour yet something that you can build up and still blends evenly. I know you don't like yours too pigmented either. Love your content! 💕
