I LOVE Makeup Revolution (and their sister brands’) eyeshadow palettes. You can see a review of some of the best Makeup Revolution eyeshadow palettes I have in this blog post. Revolution do some of the nicest budget eyeshadow palettes I’ve tried. I’ve added another two to my ever growing collection. Read on to find out more about them!

 

 

First up is the gorgeous Revolution Re-loaded Velvet Rose (PR Sample). This beautiful eyeshadow palette is perfect for transitioning into autumn with its browns, beiges and burgundy hues plus shimmers and a black shade. Apparently this is a really good dupe for the much more expensive Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam palette.

The general consensus seems to be that Revolution Velvet Rose isn’t as pigmented (or creamy- that’s to be expected I think!) but can be built up to be an excellent dupe for ABH Soft Glam. I haven’t tried Soft Glam but I do really love Velvet Rose. It’s fast become my everyday eyeshadow palette. The muted matte browns and beiges are very much me. 

I found all the 15 shades easy to work with- they apply smoothly, blend easily and last all day even without primer. For £4 this really is an amazing palette and one you should definitely have in your makeup collection.

 

 

Or if you’re in the mood for brighter, bolder looks you could try Revolution Re-Loaded Marvellous Mattes. I bought this a while ago when I was craving some bright yellow eyeshadow. As the name suggests all of the shades are matte, which I was a bit concerned about originally. Sometimes mattes can be really powdery and drying but thankfully these shades are actually pretty creamy in formula.

Some of the shades in Marvellous Mattes need to be built up to get a good pop of colour, or you can wet them to make the pigment even stronger. This is also an easy method to create eyeliner too and makes for some interesting, minimalist makeup looks. I found the shades easy to blend with minimal fall out.

If you’re looking for bright bold shades to play with but don’t want to spend a fortune you can’t go wrong with Marvellous Mattes.
