SUBCULTURE PALETTE SWATCHES/FIRST THOUGHTS | REVIEW PART 1

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS SUBCULTURE PALETTE REVIEW

I was SO on the fence about getting this palette. I heard such wild reviews about it: that the palette was awful, that it was perfect, that there was a manufacturing error, that it was going to be recalled, that it was a 'pure pigment' *which makes no sense* and wasn't sure whether it was worth the effort.



Finally I decided that I needed to try it for myself and see what I thought about it. Swatches are a decent indicator of color tone and pigment, but that doesn't really speak on how they perform on the eyes. Watch the video in the link below if you want to see what I think!

SMOKEY LAVENDER EYELOOK FOR FAIR SKIN

SMOKEY LAVENDER EYELOOK  With such extremely fair skin, I have a hard time pulling off these colors without looking washed out. Muted antique tones look amazing on warm or dark skintone but with cool toned pink skin it's difficult to pull off. I balanced out the color with deep browns and black to make it more SMOKEY. If I had used cool tones in the crease and outer corner it would have looked like a giant bruise on my eye. The wing got away from me, I don't know what happened.

FROSTY BLUE SMOKEY EYE

FROSTY BLUE SMOKEY EYE I was SO inspired by the color Axis from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture palette for this look. I saw that blue and was like 'you shall be my main attraction!'. I ended up mixing a few different palettes to get this look but I LOVE how it turned out so much. I used the white highlight from the Ofra Cosmetics Beverly Hills Highlighter Wheel on the lid and it's so frosty and metallic I love it. This whole look came out so much more wearable than I was expecting, and I hope you guys like it as much as I do.

CRANBERRY SMOKEY EYE

CRANBERRY SMOKEY EYE  For this look I was playing around with my Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette. I'm not always in the mood for such romantic colors but I was filming a video and wanted something really wearable but colorful. One of my favorite shades from the palette is Vermeer which is a somehow frosty shadow that looks like pale pink snowflakes on the eye. I LOVE it.  Let me know in the comments below what you think, everything I use to complete this look is listed below.
