| Makeup Revolution Soph X Eyeshadow Palette Review Swatches |
I have been swooning over this 24 eyeshadow palette
from Makeup Revolution ever since I laid my hands on it. This palette is made
by the brand in collaboration with an amazing beauty Youtuber “SophDoesNails”.
Although there are many reviews by international bloggers on this palette, I
could not find any Indian blogger writing about this one. I generally rely on
swatches done on Indian skin tone before buying any makeup for myself. However,
inspite of not finding any Indian review of this palette, the mere selection of
shades in this palette made me pick this up. Read on to find out whether it was
a good decision or not.
Brand Says:
“We have collaborated with the amazing
SophDoesNails to bring you this stunning eyeshadow palette!
The perfect mix of 14 matte and 10 shimmer eye
shadows to create everything from a natural daytime look all the way up to full
glam. The 24 versatile shades give you everything you need to create your look
no matter what time of year, whether you're looking for light shimmers, warm
browns, rich golds, rusty oranges, dark smokey shades or even a pop of colour -
this palette is for you! - Soph x”

Price: £10 for 24 x
1.1gm product or roughly
Rs.900. But since it is not available in India, there will be a whooping
shipping charge applied. I picked up mine at Rs.1700, inclusive of shipping
from Instagram seller @authentic_international_makeup. Although almost a double price, I
enjoyed super supportive customer service from Atufa (lady behind the Instagram
shop) and no hassle of customs charges. There are other sellers on Instagram
too who sell this palette at varying charges.

Packaging:
The blush-pink coloured palette comes encased inside a pastel
water-colour prints outer carton with rose-gold lettering. The carton also has
all the shades printed on the backside of the carton. The palette comes with a
HUGE mirror as well! The only thing missing is probably an applicator brush.
But at the price tag of £10, we cannot complain much, can we? J

Don’t you just love the shade selection and the names?
I do! If you notice carefully, there are four distinct parts of this
palette (And no, I am not talking of just rows) J
First Part: The last three
shades on bottom row- Mug Cake, Rosewood and Nightmare can be used as eyebrow powders as well.

shimmers in the eight shades in these two columns

I am totally amazed at this thoughtful selection of
shades that we rarely find even in most high-end brands palettes.
Regarding pigmentation, color payoff on lids and texture , I
will admit that although all the 24 shades fared beautifully, but on Indian
skin tones like mine (NC 40), the first four shades from the top row can be a
tad disappointing. They will take a while to build up on un-primed lids. I will
strongly suggest using a good primer beneath. As for the remaining two shades
of the first row, along with the three other rows, all the shades will amaze
you with their pigmentation.
I especially love the matte shades Tiramisu, Peaches,
pumpkin, Danger, Mug cake, Rosewood and Nightmare as well the two unique
shades Pine
Tree and Petrol. There is a very slight fallout with
the shades Grow Old and Sparks Fly, and if you are doing a glam look with these
shades, I would suggest doing your base makeup after you are done with your eye
makeup. Also, these two shades, although very pigmented, are not as buttery smooth
as the Sugar Eyeshadow quad’s rose gold shade that I reviewed in my previous
post (Check the quad HERE)
A mixture of Mugcake
and Rosewood gives me my perfect brow powder shade and Nightmare is
definitely the most intense black I have used after Noir from the Sleek Au
Naturel palette.
Over primed eyes, these shadows stay really long
without fading and without primer, their intensity and longevity decreases
slightly. The matte shades blend very well with a fluffy brush and the shimmery
and pearl shades are well picked up by flat eyeshadow brush or pad of fingers.

I am really very pleased with this palette inspite of some disappointing
lighter shades and am looking forward to the time when Indian brands also come
up with such varied palettes in affordable range L
Rate: 4/5
Do I recommend this palette?
Yes, to all the makeup lovers who would like to keep
their makeup kit sorted with lesser palettes but varied options in shades J This palette along
