NYX Cosmetics’ Machinist: Ignite palette

I was somewhat interested in these (in spite of myself!) when they came out…but I wasn’t going to pay $25 for them. I was lucky enough to buy them on sale shortly after Christmas 2018, when they were 50% off.

Steam and Ignite are almost complementary palettes: Steam is the cooler shades; Ignite, the warmer shades. The consistency is fairly decent, but most of the shades required some building to get the best color payoff. I have to wear my shadows over primer, regardless of the application technique or format (pressed powder, loose powder, cream, et cetera) so adhesion was good for a day’s wear.
