Make Up For Ever 15 Artist Shadow Palette ($59.00 for 0.90 oz.) includes fifteen of the brand’s Artist Shadows (all of which are permanent, so you can always purchase them individually or repurchase if you ever finish one). Each shade is 0.06 oz., whereas full-size is 0.08 oz., which makes the palette contain $236.25 worth of eyeshadows–a great value! Full review to come 🙂

P.S. — Is anyone else as puzzled as to why Make Up For Ever seems to shy away from including their mattes in palettes?!

This looks a great value palette, as you said, I’d wear all of those shadows! Very well thought out, IMO. Would purchase if I hadn’t spent so much recently! but it’s good they’re permanent shades, is the palette permanent too? If so I might buy it next year :-).

This an awesome deal, but I already have dupes in my stash –the UD Naked palettes for neutrals and UD Spectrum for the colorful shadows. Bummer. I think that Electric Purple is a pressed pigment, not a shadow

Wednesday Avatar

I stewed about this all day in the back of my mind.. the shades I already have in my stash, the absence of matte shades.. then realized this palette costs less than 3 of the single shadows! The probability of me ever coming close to hitting pan is ridiculously slim. So hells yes, I’m grabbing this. Petrol blue has been on my wishlist forever (I have the MUFE petrol blue pencil which I love) and Fig and Black Rose seal the deal for me. I do not have those three. Done.

Nicole Avatar

Looks pretty good to me! But, I love MUFE artist shadows! I had to get this one upon release even though I have almost half the shadows already. The deal was too good to pass up in order to add the other shadows to my collection.

Andi Avatar

I’ve had my eye on this palette since it was announced! The Artist Shadow formula is so nice to work with! I just have one question… If I already have the Artist Shadow Palette #2, should I go for this or palette #1?

Talitha Avatar

I had been waiting for you to review this. So excited to hear your thoughts! I’m getting this shipped to my home in some weeks. 🙂 It will be my first adventure in MUFE eyeshadows.

Ms Avatar

Lmk when they come out with a matte artist es palette. Until then, not interested. Good shimmery es is easy to make, it’s the good matte es that impress.

Ginny Avatar

I already filled up a palette with these, so I’m (mostly) done buying them. The matte formula is my favorite by FAR, like 75% of the ones I bought are matte. Best mattes I’ve ever used. If they had released a palettes of mattes I would have fainted.

Andrew Avatar

This is a gorgeous palette! Like you, though, I’ve wondered why they haven’t included many mattes in their recent palettes. When I do use shadow I either use mattes or mattes with a slight, natural sheen, so MUFE’s palettes have been passes for me. I have a theory, but I’ve done ZERO RESEARCH on the matter, this is just a quick reply, so please don’t hold me to this:
The only thing I can think is maybe it’s more cost-effective to produce the satin, shimmer, and metallic shades in palettes like this. I’m sure it probably takes more pigment to produce a good matte which is why many brands tend to have mattes that are either dry and dusty with stellar pigmentation, or have a good texture but lack tend to be sheerer. So I guess they’d rather put out a highly affordable palette with few or no mattes than release one with a bunch of mattes and have to hike up the price.

This palette looks absolutely amazing! I’m a huge fan of Make Up For Ever but have never tried their eyeshadows! The colour payoff and intensity of these eyeshadows look incredible, definitely a product which is going on my list of make-up to buy! Thanks so much for sharing xx

I love the quality, BUT it is very similar to another palette that I already have (Studio Case), and I don’t need another Lagoon Blue, same blue eyeshadow… I wish they you try a totally new combination (and I would jump onto it!)

Austen Avatar

Christine- are the pans in the palette removable/ would they fit in the MUFE Artist Shadow Custom Palette Case (the duo and trio cases that Sephora sells)

markiebamboo Avatar

Thanks for the preview! I am looking forward to your review! I am on the fence. It is a great value, but I I am just being picky I guess. There are many lighter shades and some repeats, so I am just debating wether to buy this or some more singles. This is a great value and high quality product. Maybe I will do both. Either way MUFE is getting my money!

Maybe they don’t include Mattes because they know people will buy the matte singles and they make more money? Also it seems as if they include some shades that people may not think to buy otherwise and introduce them to other unusual selections. If they put out a palette of neutral mattes we’d probably run through the glass at Sephora!

Nancy T Avatar

To your question, Christine: A resounding YES! Why don’t they give us Pink Brown? And a few other very appealing mattes? I don’t get it!
But I took the jump on Saturday and ordered this. I can hardly wait till I get mine!

Yelena Avatar

they probably shy away from mattes because i feel like their mattes don’t have that special gel formula that they’re touting. They fell like ordinary mattes to me.

Ashlee Avatar

I was so excited about this and I ordered it. And hated it. Immediately took it back. The pigment wasn’t good at all. I Took it back to sephora and made the ladies swatch it too and they were also surprised. I loved the packaging
