Lightest, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Dry skin.

I already ordered the nabla palette. I love the formula of their eyeshadows, in general. And I appreciate the way this color story is organized into quads. I am anticipating it to be a real workhorse for me and am very happy to see it swatch well.

Kira

Light Medium, Yellow, slight yellow undertones. Combination skin.

Those two grays in the Wayne Goss palette look very similar to each other.

Cynthia

Light Medium, Yellow, moderately yellow undertones. Combination skin.

While black eyeshadow is a workhorse in my routine for filling in my brows and setting my eyeliner, I do not know if I have ever actually finished a pan. I am really still in disbelief that Wayne is including a black in every single palette he is releasing. I have been actively avoiding palettes that include black eyeshadow in them simply because I have way too many already.

raja

Wow, Wayne’s first two releases are just so… blah. I really expected a little more.

kjh

Well, when that palette (blah) is infinitely better than the liners,…not looking real good. As much of a perfectionist as he can be, surprised his whole line is so lackluster.

Wednesday

Ditto… he should stick to brushes.

Jess

Light, Pink, moderately pink undertones. Combination skin.

The WG swatches seem patchy, and as Kira commented, the grays seem too close together. As for the rest…meh.

Nancy T

Medium, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin.

Out of everything swatched above, I’m really loving the looks of the Nabla Side By Side palette. Do I need it? Probably not. But I do see it as a very well thought-out “nude” palette that almost anyone could enjoy using!
Sadly, the WG palette is leaving me feeling flat. Not shades I look too swift wearing, either.

Lydia

Light, Pink, slight pink undertones. Dry skin.

That Wayne Goss palette gets prettier the more i look at it! Hopefully you like this one a little more. 🙂

Helene

Very Light, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Combination skin.

The Nabla palette looks nice, I don’t need it, I have so many nude eyeshadows and nude palettes I’m set for life I think. I can see loads of looks using this palette, so I am a bit tempted.
I sort of like the Fenty highlighters, but I don’t think sparkly ones will flatter my skin, pity, because now I really feel like adding loads of sparkle to my makeup. Maybe it’ll pass if I just use a sparkly lipstick… Hmm.
Now the WG palette, I don’t really know what to say. I think it’s a mistake having a black in every palette. I would rather have a great black single to add to looks if I felt like it. Also as others have said the greys are very similar. Personally I don’t care for the colour story either.
The pencils are very disappointing, and why name a burgundy colour Deep Amethyst, I see the name and think saturated darkish purple.
I feel I’m just complaining like a very grumpy person, but then I remember liking the Nabla and the Fenty products, so, maybe I’m not that bad. 🙂

Genevieve

Lightest, Pink undertones. Dry skin.

The Nabla palette looks pretty good value – their shimmers seem quite pigmented, although a couple of the mattes look patchy. Not quite sure why that ashy grey’s in there – it seems out of place. But on the whole it’s a good, versatile palette.
As for Wayne Goss’s offering – that is quite disappointing to me -the mattes look lacklustre and the inclusion of a black shade, which is often not used – is a waste of space in this palette.

Celesta

Very Light, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Normal-to-Oily skin.

The Nabla palette reminds me a lot of ND Biba.

Fidan Fassbender

That was exactly my thought when I first saw it

Denise S.

Deep Tan, Yellow, moderately yellow undertones. Combination skin.

I really want to support Wayne Goss makeup line but the color selection is lacking. Why put 2 similar matte gray shadows and another black shadow in a 6 pan palette? I thought maybe the eye liners? But those swatches look terrible! Oh well I’ve brought lots of Wayne Goss brushes and really love them! I finally got a Trendmood box and the Nabla Side by Side palette is in it! I may give to my niece for Christmas or keep for me.

Ouineque

I really do not understand how Wayne Goss has created one of the best brushes out there and settles for these mediocre looking colour cosmetics. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wednesday

Light Plus, Neutral undertones. Dry skin.

I like the Nabla palette because it reminds me of Biba; a good workhorse palette.

Wayne’s makeup line has not tempted me after I bought into the lipstick hype and never use.
