Face of Australia Naked Eyeshadow Palette

Face of Australia Naked Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches - Sweetaholic Beauty

I'm such a huge fan of Aussie brands; particularly Face of Australia. It has been one of my favourite local brands since I started loving beauty, and they have really grown since then. One of their newer releases captured my eye - the Face of Australia Naked Eyeshadow Palette. Since the Australian release of Urban Decay, our country has seen an influx of cost effective dupes of the cult brand's most popular product - the Naked palette.

This palette is smaller in shape, but actually includes fifteen shades. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a dupe, or if it's just inspired, but either way I was excited to try. I do like the packaging itself - chic black whilst although difficult to keep clean, looks darn good in photos. This is also a pretty handy one to travel with as it contains so many shades.

The pans for the eyeshadows are smaller, but because there are more shades I feel like they make up for it. I have that many eyeshadow already that I doubt I'll be running low any time soon, anyway. I actually like the brush that was included too - one end is the basic foam applicator, but the other end is a very light blending brush which could work far better than the foam applicator if you're in a pinch.

Swatched - First Row, Second Row, Third Row

Each shade has been swatched without primer. I found the shades to be a little bit inconsistent. Some shades were incredibly pigmented and so easy to blend, while others were a tad chalky and difficult to to build up. Luckily, majority of the shades were relatively easy to work with. There were four matte shades which I actually really liked, and was surprised at how creamy they were. My favourite shades were the rose-gold type shades, which seemed to be the easiest and best to work with.

Being that this palette is under $20, I was actually impressed. Not all the shades were winners, but majority of the palette was easy to work with and would be great for travelling, keeping in your handbag or for quick touch ups. I'd say that Face of Australia has certainly done a great job.
