Lorac Pro Palette

If you're new to makeup this is an awesome first palette to try. None of the colours are too extreme; they will suit a lot of people I think, and the quality of the shadows are high and very easy to work with. he colours are very pigmented and just one tap of a brush then onto the lid gives good colour pay-off.

I am cool-toned and pale, and these colours work well for me for the most part. However, I find that the colour CREAM does not show up very well on my pale skin, and I reach for WHITE more as a highlight / brow-bone shade.

TAUPE and SABLE are both nice crease colours, and I reach for Espresso a lot to darken the outer-V of my lid (it looks really nice paired with GOLD).

I don't reach for BLACK or SLATE often as ESPRESSO is dark enough for me.

I am really disappointed with the colour DEEP PURPLE. It looks nice in the pan but on my skin it is very dark, almost muddy, and doesn't appear purple at all.

GARNET is another one that I was excited to use but doesn't look that great on.

I would have preferred a shimmery brown shade rather than PEWTER as I don't find much use for it.

I reach for NUDE, CHAMPAGNE and LT. BRONZE a lot.

GOLD is my favourite! It is so pigmented and vibrant.

I found that ever since buying the Lorac Unzipped palette that I reach for that far more often than the Lorac Pro. I personally love every single colour in the Unzipped and they all can work well together.

After reading so much hype about it, I folded like a cheap pocket knife and decided to get this palette. Firstly, I have to say it was a MISSION to get it: The first purchase of Beauty.com - had me place an order and it got cancelled after a week (don't remember the details as to why!). So then I decided to order it off Fishpond. I waited 6 weeks, no arrival. I contacted Fishpond. They said I hadn't bought it from a verified seller so my order got cancelled and I got a refund. I nearly gave up, but finally got some success again with a seller Fishpond recommended (verified seller this time). Big picture: I'm really disappointed. Not with the quality - that's top notch (lovely buttery and extremely soft eyeshadows) but I think the colours are seriously below par. It needs to be said that I own a LOT of eyeshadow palettes and Mac eyeshadows so I'm probably a tough person to Wow. But on balance I really dislike nearly all of the frost colours, I think the shades are awful and none of them suit me. Garnet - is similar to Antiqued by MAC, but Antiqued is a much nicer colour (brighter, more intense, the shade works better on my cool toned skin). The colour Deep Purple is really dark and barely purple at all on the skin. As for the pale shades: They are nothing special. The winners of the palette are all the mattes, all are great and are now all I use. All in all, I really regret buying this, I certainly won't be getting the new Pro Palette that just got released. This isn't a terrible palette, I just think it's really boring too be honest! I much prefer any of my Naked Palettes over this, no competition (I have all three Nakeds!)

I picked this up off Amazon and I love it. The shadows are buttery soft, blend amazingly and wear really well. The colours are really wearable for day or night and you can get a heap of looks from the palette. You get great colour payoff and very little fall out. The packaging is compact and good for travel. There is a good blend of matte and shimmer shadows.

This is definitely my most favourite eye shadow I have ever used, and this palette has a great mix of matte and shimmers you can work into any look. The powders are richly pigmented and buttery, and so wonderful to apply. When I first got this palette it took me a while to lessen how much product I was using- a little goes a long long way. There are some really easy wearing everyday natural shades, and some amazing super gorgeous unique ones too- garnet would be my favourite. The Browns are perfect for shadows and the nude shimmers look great on the eye or as a sneaky bit of highlight. I do like the packaging, but not the matte finish and love that you get a great primer with it. Definitely worth the investment- mine always goes in my carry make up bag for travelling because it's so versatile and perfect.

The title says it all! This would have to be my favourite all rounder palette! The shadows are soo pigmented and creamy! You can create endless looks with this palette

I was blown away with this palette; it is literally the perfect all-round palette. It has a little bit of everything except for a yellowish highlight colour, but it does have white and pink-toned highlight colours instead. The colours are stunning, super pigmented and fantastic quality. It is one of the more pricey palettes, but I think it is worth every cent. If you only buy one “neutral” palette, make it this one.

This is well worth the investment, the price tag is a bit scary but you get 8 shimmer shades and 8 matte shades...and the mini primer. this is the perfect travel palette with never ending possibilities from a dark smokey eye to a soft neutral one. The shades are all super pigmented, blend effortlessly and and long wearing esp when used with the behind the scenes eye primer. I find myself reaching for this palette over all of my Urban Decay ones, it has to be one of the best quality palettes I have come across. The only thing i'm not a huge fan of is the texture of the outside of the palette, it is prone to getting dirty which is a pet peeve of mine, but overall one cannot complain amazing amazing palette!

If you are just starting out with make up and experimenting with creating new looks then the Lorac Pro Palette is for you.

Heaps of beauty gurus on You Tube love this palette and have created a wide range of looks using just this one alone.

Definitely the kind of palette that can take you from daytime to night time looks with the swipe of your make up brush.

I find the colours to be highly pigmented, easy to blend and make your eyes POP!

Definitely a must have item in your make up collection!

Packaging: love the packaging it's simple has a magnetic lid and is matte black. The only downfall about the packaging is it tend to get messy when there's loose Powder. Price: cheaper than the naked palettes and great quality. Eyeshadows: comes with 16 beautiful eyeshadows that are HIGHLY pigmented and so creamy when putting them on and really easy to blend. 8 are matte and 8 are shimmer. Overall: I always always reach for this palette whether it be for one colour or four. This is one palette I will never go with out. This palette will take you from day tonight. The primer that comes with it is also worth repurchasing. Can't say enough great stuff about this product.

OMG!! yes i said omg. This palette is like the Gods of all palettes, well i reckon it is! If you don't have this, then I'm sorry to tell you buddy but you're missing out! The pigmentation is unbelievably impeccable! One light swatch and BAM colour! But it can be sheered out to your preference and it is so beautiful to blend out! The blend-ability is amazing! The colours are gorgeous and beautiful, what you see in the pan is what you get on your skin! The packaging is sleek and travel friendly, although it does get dirty easily. I also don't like the fact that its in small pans, I'm so scared of running out of any colour! Its also pricey because you can't get this in new zealand so you'd need to use a freight forwarding service to get this! But whatever troubles you go through will make up for when you have this precious gem in your hands. The primer it comes with is awesome as well, its long lasting with absolutely no creasing on my oily lids! The mirror is a bonus, its the perfect size and it wont break (hopefully) when travelling. The fact that it is so versatile is what caught my heart! Theres an even amount of mattes and shimmers which is amazing because unlike naked this has a good selection of mattes, theres cool tones and warm tones. Its just an amazing all round palette!
