I was interested in having this muted brown - kind of like faded chocolate. This leans just barely cool, but it’s also light enough that it will still look very good on a wide range of skintones and undertones. This is the most problematic of the five polishes that...
Buff-purple with great coverage…but some problems with microbubbles. A really good shake takes care of much of that, but it’s an AWFUL lot of shaking. (Possibly I just got a slightly off batch. I didn’t have this problem with any of the other polishes from this collection.)...
A muted pink that’s great as a standalone manicure or as a background for nail art. This shade isn’t totally unique, but it isn’t one that you can find in some collection every year…and definitely not in this formula with this finish. (Just a little side...
The first of Zoya’s “Satins” - a finish that’s either a shiny matte or a muted creme, whichever way you prefer to describe it. The six colors in this collection were all soft enough to easily be considered neutral shades. They made an interesting winter color palette, even...
The base shade is solid enough that, yes, this could be used as an eyeshadow even by folks with deeper-toned skin. I would avoid using this as a face color because unless the base shade EXACTLY matches your skintone, it may make you look a little more cakey. (And there...
This is, on me, a very soft, near-neutral red. It’s soft enough and has enough neutral tones that it doesn’t make my eyes look inflamed or infected; but it doesn’t provide me very much in the way of definition. Even grey eyeliner - which I love -...
This is one of the few matte colors that I have. The mattes are more fragile than the glow/shimmer versions of these blushes, so they really don’t travel well…and they didn’t sell too many of these in any stores. This was one of the first of...
Another blush palette from Makeup Revolution - this time, slightly deeper shades than the ones in Sugar and Spice, and predominantly shimmers. Most of the colors are some version of medium red - warm, cooler, and neutral. Me being me, I’m most fond of the two fuchsia-reds (Shades 3 and 7)....
I like the idea of these blush palettes because then I can have some things that travel easily. My first experiment with Makeup Revolution’s blush palettes (Golden Sugar) went over less well than I could have hoped. I was a little leery of trying this one because of that,...
