Sneak Peek: Kevyn Aucoin ElectroPop Pro Eyeshadow Palette Photos & Swatches
Kevyn Aucoin ElectroPop Pro Eyeshadow Palette ($57.00 for 0.60 oz.) is a slim palette that has 12 eyeshadows–only one of them, Blackout, isn’t overtly shimmery–and the formula used is very, very dense and more like a cream-powder hybrid, so it will work best with stiffer, denser brushes and fingertips (the brand actually says to use fingertips for “maximum” pigmentation). Here’s a sneak peek at swatches…
Have never though Kevyn’s e/s were a strong suit…but these swatches, at least the thumbnails, look improved. Interesting that so many are into formula change, and often in the direction of creamier, less powdery, more hybrid. I think it’s the CP effect!
This doesn’t wow me in the slightest. They look like they search alright but nothing I’m over the moon about.
Do we know when this palette will be released? I regret not getting it on Cyber Monday when they did the sneak preview – but now I want to know when I can get my hands on it!
It went live today!
These look pretty dull and muted. I was expecting something more “wow”
I actually like this a lot! Must be because I’m already used to these type of eyeshadows from Fenty, DoC, and Jouer, where they apply better with fingertips and firm, dense brushes. These look like a hybrid of the glittery nature of the aforementioned with something like MUFE Artist Shadows.
I agree with you about the new formulas looking better applied than swatched. I’m so glad to see all the newer, better formulas from companies. I think it’s going to take awhile before they get it all sorted out from the prototype to the manufactured product, but I applaud the effort. I have no tolerance anymore for dry, gritty, lifeless powder formulas. Give me creamy, smooth, finely milled, beautifully pigmented colors at a reasonable price (cough), lol.
This looks way better than I expected, some really gorgeous shades here.
Some of these are pretty but I’m not sufficiently wowed to shell out $57. My latest binge product is ColourPop super shock shadows. This is an easy pass for me.
Perfect timing as always, Christine! I was considering picking this up with the Sephora sale after seeing someone else’s apparently super-heavy swatches, but after seeing these, I’ll pass!
I’m glad I didn’t rush to buy this before the review!
i feel like these high end brands are putting out mediocre stuff lately. good for me tho, i am not tempted. Colourpop has stepped it up too, so more bang for my buck. I have been collecting makeup so long now that i never buy anything just because of the brand anymore. I used to get caught in the hype about chanel that or Armani this. After having such a wonderful collection of high end good items, i am so picky. At all times i have to be buying some makeup tho, so Colourpop has filled in there for me. There shadows lately have been just as good as these generic looking high end palettes
These look pretty nice! I can’t wait for the verdict!
This is so pretty! I don’t need it, though.
Late to the party, but since I was into the brands products today and came across this I wondered how you rated it. Sad to see it’s only a B-, I really liked the colors here (two nice greens), but that purple swatched so sadly and glitter-like. Hmmmm… I do like some Aucoin products though.
