Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today we are trying the
new eyeshadow palettes from Lisa Eldridge.
These were very kindly gifted to me.
I have three of them to try.
I also ordered all the other ones with
some brushes, but I can't wait for them.
I just want to try these now.
And we're going to have a go.
I have watched the kind of announcement video from
Lisa Eldridge using these palettes, and let me
tell you, when I saw some of the textures
in these eyeshadow palettes...
mouthwatering, they looked beautiful.
Some of them looked more like cream.
I can never sit central to these things.
They just look so smooth and
like buttery and really, really beautiful.
I can't wait to try them out.
Oh, got my eyes.
I put a lot of eye cream on today.
So that is what we are going to do,
along with some other Lisa Eldish bits, which I
have probably shown you throughout my videos anyway.
Just before we get into that today,
if this your first time here, hi, welcome.
My name is Robert.
I'm a professional makeup artist here on YouTube,
but also in real life. It's my goal to
help you become a pro yourself or just
someone who's really good at makeup.
So if that sounds like something you
are interested in, then do consider subscribing.
I'm in a very good mood today.
It is pouring down with rain
outside, which is my ideal weather.
It's cold, it's windy, it's beautiful.
And also, anyone who's a Disney Park
fan, Bob Chapek has left the business. Bob Iger is
back in charge.
There is good news everywhere.
I got a pair of sunglasses that
was meant to arrive in February.
It came today.
Today is my day.
So I have three palettes here.
The first one I have, I
have already swatched some of them.
I couldn't help myself.
I saw the textures, and I was like,
let me get my finger right in that.
You'll see which ones I've done.
These two here. This is Sorcery.
There's a few different finishes in this.
We have metallics, like this one here.
And then we have the luminous
duo, which... oh.
Like so. And then we also have, you'll see which
one I'm going to use.
Surprise! Myth, which
is this beautiful collection of purple tones.
Some grayer kind of undertones there as well.
And then we also have Cinnabar, which
is this really nice neutral tones.
There was a few different kind of textures within
these palettes, which I'll quickly just run through with
you now, because that's what really stood out
mostly in these palettes for me, is the different
textures, the different finishes, and also the...
This is why I think it's so important to watch,
like, a launch video of a product, because the
inspiration behind these palettes made sense.
They were thought through incredibly well, and that's
what I love about brands, is when they have...
You know, I'm kind of tired of brands just
releasing anything without, like, a theory behind it.
And, like, this is why I've made it
these tones, this is why I made it
these textures, this is why, you know, for example,
you can pop out the shades in here, mix
them all around, and make it your own.
The description of these palettes on line,
"Five ultra chic and playful eyeshadow palettes housed in
a beautiful, bespoke, slim and elegant compacts."
I read that wrong.
"Each one contains a curation of six totally
harmonious and complementary shades in my own unique,
easy-to-blend micro plastic and talc-free high-performance formulas."
There was this information here as well, so
let me just explain the different finishes
within this palette. You have a seamless matte,
which is a, "Soft matte texture with a
hint of luminosity and practically blends itself."
"Velvet, a super creamy matte powder paint that
gives a skin smoothing finish with even coverage."
"Metallic, which is a rich, even and smooth
shadow with consistently sized, dense metallic pearls with
a most seamless and creamy molten payoff."
"Lustre, the densely packed smooth and extra
small pearls gives this texture
a luscious pearly finish."
"Luminous, a medium payoff semi-transparent base that gives
a light payoff color for glossy lid effect."
And then we have a top coat that's,
"Multicolored, sparkling pearls suspended in a transparent base."
I absolutely love these kind of top coat finishes
as well, because it's almost like you can have
whatever color you want and then add something a little
bit different day to night like that.
Imagine brown, and you put, like, for daytime, and
you put, like, a purply top coat on top. Okay, beautiful.
I already have my eyeshadow primer on,
which is, of course, my favorite.
The Sigma eyeshadow primer in Ignite,
which is just like this.
Okay, let's get into it.
Let's do something...
We are going to do a black on the whole lid with this.
Can you see it on camera?
It's this beautiful pinky...
I might have to film it on my phone because
my lights kind of wash things out a little bit.
It has this, like, pink...
It looks so good, this pink shift.
So this will be one of the top coats
because it has that little shift to it.
So this was the finish that was smoothing, and
you can absolutely see how smooth that's going on.
God, it really does smooth out that skin.
Look, look how smooth and soft it looks. Wow!
You know what, give me this and some
flesh tones for under the eyes.
Can you imagine?
Very soft, very easy to blend.
Don't really need to do anything. Beautiful.
I've got a spot right there.
Look, how annoying.
And I'm not one of those people that
don't pop a spot when it comes up.
I'm getting right in there, bursting that thing.
Love it.
So smooth, so soft, so easy to blend.
Took me seconds.
Let's add a little bit of purple. So here's my idea.
Black on the whole lid, purple, like, just gently coming
out of the black and then into this beautiful gray.
So let's go with Violet Stone, and that is
velvet also, so that nice smoothing,
super blendable texture.
I moved my microphone because I noticed when I was
editing, that I would hold up my mirror right in
front of the microphone, and you could hear, like, muffled...
I was talking like this, so I've moved
it above me, so hopefully it's still okay.
I did test it, and it seemed fine.
Blends incredibly well.
Look how easy that was.
Can you see just... that isn't even, like, blended.
I literally just went backwards and forwards
a few times, and it's so beautifully
blended with the other shade.
Love it.
See, this is why...
This is why it's a good idea
when makeup artists release their own brands, because
you know exactly what they're looking for. Exactly.
They know exactly what they're looking for, exactly what
they need, exactly what's missing from their kit, what
they've used on people, what textures are needed, you know?
It blends so easy.
If you are terrible at blending eyeshadow, I really don't
think you're going to have an issue with this.
I haven't even sat here and took time blending it.
This is just literally backwards and forwards,
and look how much it has just, almost
like, blended itself into the gray.
Love it.
Looove itttt.
Okay, let's go into Nocturama.
Oh, this is velvet two, okay.
And I'm going to use a little bit of a stubbier
brush just to really push that color onto the lid.
That is deep.
Okay, cool.
I'm going to go back in with a brush
we were using before and just gently kind of buff
that only through the socket for now.
And then let's go back into this deeper purple and use... oh.
And use that to kind of transition through.
Let's do the other lid, and
then we'll crack on with that purple.
No fallout for those of you who care about that.
You know I don't really care about fallout,
but I know some people do.
I'm just using that purple to buff
through and get this nice fade.
And then I'm going in with a bigger brush and
just buffing that out a little bit more.
I'm going to take a finger, and I'm going to
go in with Illusionism, which is... ah, you really can't see
it, you'll see it when it's on the lid.
It's this beautiful, like, pearly,
like, pink shimmer shift.
I just want more. I want more, more, more, more.
I'm also going to take that shade in here.
Not really a shade, that little topper, right in that
inside corner just to get a really good shine.
Just want a nice glow.
I'm just going to switch out my brush because
I don't want to get black on this color.
I just want it to stay how it is.
Okay, let me just whack on some concealer quickly.
Okay, so I've got a bit of concealer on.
Let's go back into our palette. Where has it gone?
And let's go into... I've made such a mess.
Let's go into this shade here, which...
So it survived my drop test.
So we're going to Victorian Trim,
which is another velvet shade.
I want to take that under the eye and
maybe buff it a little bit out here. I don't know.
I'm just kind of putting in color wherever I see fit.
Very, like, I didn't even...
Like it looks blended underneath already.
And all I'm doing it... and all I'm
doing is dragging it across the eye.
It really is incredible.
I'm going to soften it up a tiny bit.
And gently put my brush across.
Go back into Violet Stone, which is that purple.
And let's just tap that along the outside edge here.
So, let's...
Do I? Is it going to ruin it?
No, let's do it. F*ck it.
Let's go back in with our top coat in Illusionism.
And I just want to take that across that Victorian,
Victorian Trim?
Victorian Trim shade.
Because I can see it just in there,
it looks really nice when I blended it on top.
So I just want to do a little top coat
of Victorian Trim.
Just so you get that occasional, like, flash.
And then I'm literally going to
go on with whatever's left on my brush.
Just going to gently blend that on top.
Okay, so let me do my foundation, and let's kind
of just have a summary just while I'm doing this.
You all know I love Lisa Eldrige as
a brand, as a makeup artist, as a professional.
And most of the Lisa Eldridge products,
the foundation, the highlighters, the lipsticks have
become like a part of my everyday.
I say every day, but I only really wear makeup
when I go to events and stuff like that.
Makeup routine. Because they're reliable, I
know I can trust them.
I know I can rely on the foundation to
sit on my skin for a longer time.
I can trust the highlight to just look like
highlight and not look like glitter or shimmer
when a camera flashes or when I have a picture
with someone, it doesn't look like glitter or shimmer.
It just looks like highlight.
My skin looks like my skin.
It's most definitely a brand you can trust.
And I think, as I mentioned earlier, I
love using brands that come from makeup artists.
Whether they're like a makeup artist who's become
an influencer or a professional makeup artist, I love
using their brands because there's thought behind it.
It is refreshing and unique and inspiring to see somebody
talk about a palette that isn't just like,
I chose these colors because I love the color purple, which is
a great film and things like that.
It's nice to see some thought behind the technicality of
the palette, the shades, the shade range, knowing that somebody
can buy one or two palettes and interchange the shades
and make it more personal to them as well.
I do feel like the shade
range in the palettes reaches everybody.
There's a palette that you can look at,
for example, I can look at the palettes,
and I know I can use this one
for something a little bit more dramatic.
There's a neutral tone which I know I can use
just the mattes to even just sculpt my eyes.
There's a palette there which I know I can give my mum.
There's a palette there which I know I can
give, like someone who's an 18 year old.
There's something there for everyone, and I think
that's what's great about texture as well, is
you saw how easy those textures blended.
You don't have to be, like, the world's best
makeup artist to be able to use this.
One thing I say a lot as well through
my eyeshadow tutorials or my eyeshadow reviews is if
you make a crappy eyeshadow, let's be real.
If you make a crappy eyeshadow as
a brand, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
It's so easy...
Easy is probably the wrong word.
Actually, I'll tell you when it's easy, right?
There are brands on, like, AliExpress and, you know,
brands that just...
ColourPop, for example, that make these
eyeshadows that they chop out every month, every week,
that make really, really good eyeshadows that work.
They just work.
So if you're making an eyeshadow palette that doesn't
work, I don't really feel like there's an excuse.
Eyeshadows should be good.
Sorry, I keep trying to say something, and
I need to keep stopping.
Let me finish up, and then I'll be right back.
Okay, so I just whacked on some lashes, a little bit glue drying
up here, but I'm not just going to sit here in silence,
wait for the glue to dry, I'm just going to talk.
So we do have loads of eyeshadow palettes that
work and are really good eyeshadows, but looking at
the release of this, the inspiration video, the release
video, and the formulas, and the textures, and the
reasoning for them, you can tell just from that
and now more so from actually using
these products, these eyeshadows, that this is,
of course, where's the palette?
More than just our regular eyeshadows that we've been
given and that are launching every month or every
week in some cases. These have in-depth thought in to them.
They have reasoning.
The textures have reasoning.
The textures have benefit.
Even the compact itself its, like, interchangeable colors
and shades, also have good reasoning behind it.
Absolutely stunning.
I am so, so incredibly impressed.
Why would we not be from a product from
Lisa Eldridge, a professional makeup artist who knows what's
needed and what's actually useful within the makeup world.
And you know me.
When I love an eyeshadow palette,
it's because I've loved using it.
It could be the cheapest, it
could be the most expensive.
If I have enjoyed using that palette, it's given me
no grief, then I would recommend it.
I recommend Lisa Eldridge as a brand anyway, there's pieces that I absolutely
adore from this brand, even more so now.
I now can't wait to use the other eyeshadow palettes.
Stunning. Love it.
I'll leave links below for you to check it out.
But these are absolutely top of my list for eyeshadows.
These are absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much again for joining me.
I kind of want to take this off
and try the green palette as well.
Thank you so much. Give this video a thumbs up, do consider subscribing,
and I will see you very, very soon. Bye.
