**** SKIN TYPE ETC. ****
I am 38 and my skin is pretty "normal" with no dryness or particular oily areas. I do have early signs of aging like fine lines/texture, as well as some sun damage and REDNESS!
I don't use fake tan, but I get very tan naturally in the summer as I have an olive undertone so my face is often a LOT lighter than my body, because I keep my face very well protected to keep my melasma under control and signs of aging at bay!

Hi my lovelies! Products are all now available, links in the description box! I wore the foundation for 8 hours today and it had slightly started to fade on my chin around the 8 hour mark, but otherwise held up very nicely with no other issues! I will post a photo of the ingredients to my community page for you! ❤

[@ruthiea729]

Despite the price of the eyeshadow you actually get a lot more usage out of it than most

[@nadiadncr]

Charlotte great fast review 😊 💕

[@roxyo8477]

Think your winter shade would be lw15 its a great match for me and i am all your winter shades ❤

[@enamoredbeauty]

I’m passing but here for your thoughts

[@thebeauteatalk]

I think they r super smart. The packaging for each product matched the price like spot on. I've yet to see a brand match the packaging to the price point, so well. For example, that eyeshadow quad is $76, so it should be weighted with nice materials and a magnetic closer. I think if the foundation was the same price, the outside plastic bottle would've been glass. Anyways, u get what I'm saying. I want the product to be amazing if it's expensive, but at the same time, I wanna see thought, attention to detail, and care put into the packaging. Esp for a luxury designer brand, I mean u wanna see designer style packaging with amazing products on the inside.

[@leahmiranda8359]

What a nice surprise! Prada took enough time to produce some really lovely products…. not just a fashion house throwing a makeup line out into the world. I’m impressed! You look exceptionally lovely!

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

I LOVE the foundation on you, and also the eye shadow palette! Especially the violet/purple color, so delicate and beautiful! I agree that the lipstick did not seem at all a matte, and the shape looked difficult. Thank you Charlotte for bringing to us a new launch! Also, thanks for letting us know we can save by buying "refills"- for those of us who are saving our pennies :).

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

@@lynettefinnigan9540 thanks for this!

[@Travelgal5000]

I’m so glad Prada has gone back into beauty! I had their last collection in the 90’s which was based around single use(or weekly for concealer) I loved it but they discontinued it around 2003. Thanks Charlotte.

[@RoseOfMadina]

Interesting comment! Thank you for sharing!

[@JLOinthecity]

I remember!!

[@tammiemartinez6485]

I like that concept. Wish other brands would follow suit. Thanks for sharing... 👍

[@AuditClerk]

@@tammiemartinez6485 It was great for the efficacy of the product, but not so much for the environment! The products were FAB though!

[@catporter8417]

WHAT??? Whoa, let's do this, Charlotte!! Made in FRANCE? What? Love the eyeshadow palette you chose. Purple!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I think everybody is underestimating those little brushes. Keep them in the palette and use them for applying the high intensity shades. Also if you’re packing a palette in your handbag you’ve got an emergency applicator if your luggage is lost or you need a morning after makeup or you’ve sweated everything off. In the olde days those little brushes were all we had. Respect the tradition 😎

[@alya27092]

OMG! I think you are the first one who review Prada makeup!😊 The eyeshadow palette is very nice and pigmented. The foundation looks natural and not to glowy.😍 Thank you for showing us so early this beautiful collection. 🤗

[@chrissymoss514]

Before I talk on the products I must comment on your gorgeous eyebrows, they look so full, natural and beautiful 😍 I clocked the shape of the lippy immediately!! It's horrid and "blocky" and I'd want to try to reshape it .... somehow 🤷‍♀️. Also, the packaging didn't WOW me 😕. The eye quad is nice but it doesn't give anything I can't achieve from a few other palettes - or a mix of palettes. Now the foundation! It has a gorgeous finish and I quite like and appreciate the packaging. I feel that the outer plastic container will offer protection against breakage when travelling or, if you're clumsy like me, dropping 😂😂. I can't wait for tomorrow to grab one. Much love 🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍

[@Notperfecttonya]

Well… I wasn’t expecting this!!! I thought this collection was a hard pass but now I’m second guessing! That eyeshadow palette looks beautiful! I really like the colors. The lipstick color is stunning, but I get what you’re saying about the shape and formula. And the foundation is really nice. Cheers, Prada! Who knew? 😂😮❤

[@marshamatthews3608]

You could use the lipstick as a blush.

[@dkladiann]

I wasn’t into the eyeshadow palettes because of the color combination until I saw the one that you watched. It’s so pretty the design reminds me of one of the Japanese brands with the triangular shape.

[@kellyroo3]

The eyeshadow palette is absolutely beautiful. I was a bit underwhelmed with the promo pictures, but, after your review, I am very tempted to pick up this color way. I think the intensity of purple shade is exactly what I’ve been looking for to complement my brown eyes without being too bright or too much for regular wear.

[@janetplancey9712]

The foundation has a nice undertone

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

It does!

[@goldenshadow7691]

That lipstick shade is looks SO good on you! Usually “soft” mattes are not as pigmented.

[@roseg1333]

The eyeshadow just wow it makes your eyes really pop in the most amazing flattering way 😯🤩😍✨✨

[@LeslieMiletich]

It’s all gorgeous

[@miriamhanvey5826]

Gorgeous love the eyeshadow on you the purple is beautiful xx

[@brendaf1033]

The whole look is really pretty!

[@romana.in.wonderland]

Wow, Charlotte! Such a pretty look. I love the lipstick on you, beautiful! And the eyeshadow is indeed a pleasent surprise, did not expect the quality. Great review, thank you 🖤

Love 💕 this it’s looks better than I expected thanks for sharing ❤️

Wow, that eyeshadow! It’s art.

Definitely getting the foundation tomorrow when it launches, it looks great on you

Wow you were sonic fast on this review! I love how beautiful everything looks on you ❤ I might pass on all of this but I look forward to see all the looks people create with all the products and admire from afar 💗💗🥰🥰

Everything looks amazing on you (even the lipstick - just beautiful)!

I feel like I am forever Looking for the next best foundation lol I’m definitely interested in this one! It looks beautiful on you!

Intrigued. Great review and this look is a stunner. Purple shadow looks great on you.

You look so lovely! I was really not expecting much from this collection but now I’m interested-Thank you for a really thorough review! ❤❤❤

That lavender shade is so soft and gorgeous my goodness!

Whoa, absolutely beautiful, I love all of the products on you, even the lipstick color is great. thanks for such an adventurous review! Love it!

[@Plum_bird]

The eye palette seems nice.

[@Freespirit1974]

Hey Charlotte ❤❤❤❤ Thank you for the review!!!! They look really nice and since the purple eyeshadow is muted I would try that as a blush!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@gbct2882]

Thanks for the review!! The eyeshadow was the product that interested me so I’m so happy to hear you like it.

[@loulickley6593]

Ooh I’m so pleased that it is mostly really good. I resisted buying on Harrods to see reviews but I think I’ll be buying stuff on Selfridges tomorrow! Also good work on getting this vid up so quickly, appreciated as always 💕

[@NicoleBellanco]

Love the purple under the eye! Like you, I’m a neutrals girl, but want so badly to make myself use color. I’m going to try this!

[@nathaliejiron4609]

Wow. That eye color palette suits you so well! Looks great on you!

[@elliesander3323]

The look of the foundation on your skin was beautiful. It looked elegantly radiant, not shiny or greasy. The eyeshadow looked classy, so lovely. The lippy, not so much! Colour wise it was nice but the texture was not good and I think it would congeal at the centre. Thank you for the review Charlotte. Loved the look you created.

[@Freya_X]

The eyeshadow is really pretty and surprisingly the purple works. I do love a neutral eye.

[@tarski7420]

Great review! Can’t wait to hear updates on how you feel about the foundation. The eyeshadow looks stunning, and I bet you would look great in just the purple & gold shimmer for more of a statement look. But also love that it’s an everyday wearable palette too. The lip colour looks so good on you, too bad you’re not living the formula :(

[@christinaoconnell7476]

Amazing .. I had decided from promo images this was a no ... but the shadow is stunning! Not great for the budget but wow! On the lipstick ... the Harrods promo photo of a model in the lipstick was definitely line heavy ... I was surprised by the finish.

[@CharlisDailyDiary]

I was planning on skipping but now… especially the eyeshadow. You had me at shimmer ✨

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Charlotte, Thank you for this great first impression review. I'm excited to try the eyeshadows and the foundation. After watching your video I am more excited about the eyeshadows. You created a beautiful look. I'm very surprised that the products are made in France. That's interesting. Have a great day and thank for the quick upload. xoxo

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

Such a pleasant surprise!

[@barbr100]

These products look beautiful on you. I will be placing an order when available

[@1hawaii21]

The eyeshadow is very pretty on you. Good choice. The purple is so nice. Like you, I’m usually a neutral lover. I usually use colors on the lower lid. Cowardice!. The lipstick looks great on you! I’m so happy you decided to review this. ❤😘❤

[@jennypie1903]

Their latest perfume is intoxicating ❤

[@katrinaryan1739]

Hi Charlotte just had to comment was not expecting to be impressed by this Pravda makeup but that eyeshadow combination looks absolutely stunning on your eyes, that shimmer shade is sooo pretty! The foundation also looks amazing, colour is bang on for you with such a good undertone. Shame about the lipstick shape and texture because the shade is so flattering. Thank you for the review 🥰💜

[@michelle.burnstein.beauty]

I needed this video today. I love your sense of humor. This was an interesting new brand.

[@onehotlittlebiscuit757]

Looks pretty. Pleasantly surprised.

[@nataliad1853]

Many thanks for your review! I had the products in my Harrods basket, but suddenly they were gone. Now I know why… I had picked the same eye shadow as you 😊 I will consider to order on Selfridges later.

[@AlexandraNPutz]

Thank you for the fast review. 🙌🏼

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

My pleasure!!

[@dckn8767]

Thanks for the review 😊 I can’t wait to see them here in the US ….the quad reminds me of the Tom Ford’s African violet

[@logden6132]

Great review! And a stunning look on you!

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

Thank you so much!

[@laritalovesmakeup]

This foundation color is stunning on you. It looks so pretty. The shadow palette is nice. I do love the lip color and the packaging. Don’t love that tip on it either. Did you even powder at all? Excited on a new makeup release. Fun. 💖💄👄

[@evelynrosado9711]

You created a beautiful look. Thank you for the review.

You look lovely . I like you best in the brighter shades of lipstick . This all looks fabulous on you . X

[@coding7196]

I am grateful for your reviews and it is possible that some lipstick colours are moister than this one.

[@SuperLilyChannel]

Thank you Charlotte, very beautiful eyeshadow, thank you so much 😊👍👍👍

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

You are so welcome!

[@cool_toned_woman]

Love how the foundation looks, i'm interested in this one in a neutral or cool tonef fair tone. I love a good foundation. I'm not interested in the eyeshadows and the matt lipsticks... these are not ny formulas and colours. I'm waiting for the blue Cle De Peau in the blue tones 😍😍 Thanks for showin the products 🤗 Greetings from Germany

[@abbracia]

Been thinking about the colors you used. That interesting shimmery beige and topper champagne were pretty.. but that OMG violet is extremely complimentary (in a color wheel sense) to your skin color. It is SO flattering on you as to be like an artist's oil color mixed specifically for your portrait. Then you put on tne lipstick and instantly lost 15 years. BOOM younger. I saw that happen to you once before when you changed your hair color to the current color. If you don't stop this amazing transformation, we will soon be watching your 15 year old version of yourself! ❤️ Hair color, perfect. That gorgeous eye shadow quad on you, check. That lipstick color on you, wow, check. Keep it up Charlotte! Today was a jackpot for you!

[@lisapierce525]

That foundation looks gorgeous, so do the eyes! Grande lipsticks are like that bullet. I hate it too

[@kerstin4603]

Wow! You are the to review a lot of new products lately. Congrats!

[@sherrypettit5552]

Nice! Thank you

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

Welcome!

[@jessigreer]

I purchased the foundation and the same e/s palette as you. My foundation shade was also a wild guess and it’s slightly too light for me now, but will be perfect 10 months a year…I really love the foundation. I’m oily and it has a real skin finish that is enduring. Just beautiful. I find the eyeshadow to be underwhelming.

[@MsBNoodle]

Great review thank you. I like that they've gone for the triangley/blocky aesthetic but that lipstick looks incredibly impractical 😂 the eyeshadow looks lovely on you.

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

I was so confused by it!😅

[@allisonburt5611]

What an interesting review! That lipstick it looks fluorescent!great if you are going to a rave!😂 (Sorry about my spelling😂) i like the shadow and foundation on you.xx

[@NinaJacksonTLC]

I'm sorry.....wow.....that eye look Charlotte and such a great review. I loved the shade of the lipstick it's definitely a 'me' colour and your review has really helped me to wonder whether the soft matte will be right for me considering my maturity! You're a star in coming out with a great review. Be interested in the wear of the foundation. Thank you. 🙂

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

Oh thank you!

[@LisaF_]

This is the first Prada Makeup video I’ve seen! Whoo Hoo!! I was interested to know about the eyeshadows because the color stories looked intriguing. Now I’m even more interested! I may get this one or the one with the green when they come to Selfridges! I liked the center shade used as blush! I will have to see how the foundation wears on oily skin folks, but I love it on you and how you’ve described it so far!

[@bobmindset]

This texture seems similar to the Valentino Eye and Cheeks… Also made in France… I’m going to pick the pink + green one as soon as it becomes available here

[@LisaF_]

@@bobmindset Yay!!! I’ll wait to see if you like the color story before I pick which one I’m going to buy!

[@DapsMakeup]

I actually was hoping the purple would be a little more pigmented, especially I worry if it’ll show up on my skin tone. I’m still curious try the foundation and the hyper matte lipstick. Thanks for the review. 💜

[@janetgilbert9668]

I loved your eyes, absolutely georgous. I couldn't agree with you more Charlotte, brands should put more information about their products. I live in rural Cornwall, so no way are there shops to try swatches so I rely on brands websites to choose foundations. I won't be buying Prada as it will be an expensive mistake if the shades are not suitable for me. Great vlog.

[@celiatambor7205]

That foundation looks gorgeous on you! Looks like they came out with the products that get the most hype - eyeshadow, foundation, and lips. I’ll be skipping this but thanks for your review!

Hey Charollet..u look too bubbly ( cute) 😍in this hairstyle 👌👌🥰

[@jwychau]

Ok finally a luxury brand that says they r refillable and actually do it instead of saying it for years and years (Westman atelier) to pretend they care .. props to them and also having the refillable avail already

[@cforester]

You look like the filtered 1939 look of Judy Garland in "The Wizzard of Oz" movie braids and all. Flawless....except the lips. The foundation looks perfect. I agree with you about purple, not my thing.

I am not in love with the colour stories for the palettes and my gut feeling is that I probably wouldn't go for it, but goodness me, the packaging is gorgeous! Maybe Prada should have a work with Lisa Eldridge who can give them tips on lipstick. Lisa is the absolute queen for lips! Anyway, I really don't know, Looks lovely but we'll see xxxx
