E.L.F Artistry Eyeshadow Palette Review

Hi Guys,

I finally had the chance to try out this palette. I got this when I did a mini E.L.F haul a few weeks ago. I mainly was interested in this palette because it reminds me so much of Urban Decay's Vice Palettes with the packaging.

This palette retails for $20.00 and is exclusively online(Click Here).

The first thing that I loved about this palette was the fact that it came with a bag.

This is a decent bag that can either hold the palette or you can use this as a makeup bag when traveling. Either way it is good quality with a basic design.

Now, for the main course :)

Once I opened up the palette I noticed the jewel tone shades and some unique shades that I do not see too often in drugstore/affordable shadows.


First Row:
These are nicely pigmented and are great for brightening up any eye look. These did not have a ton of fall out.

Second Row:

These are nicely pigmented as well. The lavender shade in the palette is to die for. I experienced a little bit of chunkiness for the sliver shade(last in the picture). Other than that this row is good quality and quite unique.

Third Row:

Once I got to this row I was slightly more disappointment than with the last two rows. The brown shade(first shade in picture) lacked pigmentation and the 3rd shade has tons of fall out when  applied to my lid, so watch out for that. I love the last shade of this row. Its a more indigo shade which is a shade I rarely see in any eye shadow palette. Overall for me, this was the most disappointing row.

Last Row:
The colors in this row is the more common shades of this palette. The third shade is the more unique shade of this row. It is a more purplish taupe which is stunning on the lid. The last shade is a black with blue sparkles in it. I wish it was a solely matte black but I can appreciate the blue sparkles for a festive and sexy smokey eye. Overall this row is pigmented and the most wearable out of the whole palette.

In addition:

 -This palette comes with a double ended brush which is very effective. One side is a synthetic flat eye shadow brush which comes in handy due to the texture of these shadows.The other side is more fluffy, flat eye shadow brush.

-A huge mirror that makes applying makeup easier(so this palette instantly become more travel friendly).

Final Thoughts:

While I think this is a overall decent palette, I do not see it being a must have of for me. If you are a person who loves jewel tone shades and shimmer then I can see you getting some use out of this. The shadows are pigmented and have a soft texture so expect some fall out.  This palette lacks matte shades(similar to Vice palettes) so that is minus for me because I have to bring in other shadows to complete my looks.  The packaging is great. The large mirror is a must have for me and most palettes lack this, so I happy that E.L.F included that in this palette. This palette is quite expensive compared to all of E.L.F's other products and the quality isn't any better than some of there other shadows. I do think this palette has more unique colors that are usually only seen in high end palettes. Overall,  I rate this a 6/10.
