I find these very attractive and cohesive; especially the 24 pan cooler palette. I am not sure I am in the market for more core palettes, but an excellent review might sway me.
Not very long ago, I got rid of all of my LORAC Pro Palettes, primarily because they were old but also because I wasn’t crazy about the formula; they were just okay. I admit to being interested in these new palettes but if I can wait until a trusted source reviews them (hint, hint) and gives good marks, I would consider a purchase (or two or three). I find the brand has changed — and not for the better — since they were sold but the eyeshadow palette junkie in me will keep an open mind.
I was just thinking the EXACT same thing. Didn’t like the old formula, but these new palettes are so tempting…
So interesting. I also feel the company has changed but I LOVE their older formula!! Of course I wouldn’t buy anything new without a review nowadays though.
The colors and layout look sophisticated and nicely arranged for medium and light skin tones. I feel LORAC just doesn’t have a good reputation for quality, so I’d definitely need a temptalia-recommends level of review to trust purchasing from them.
I love that they are going for reusable packaging and hopefully the quality will be there.
I never own something from lorac, but I remember that some years ago it was quite famous for it neutral palette. At that time Lorac pros seemed to be the only palette that can challenge Ud’s Naked 1,2 and 3. It is my impression or the used to be on an higher price range? Aren’t they lowering their prices now? That’s strange
My only experience with Lorac Eyeshadows was through their Pro 2 palette. I always heard good things about the Unzipped palettes but was never enticed to buy one given that I was not impressed by the quality of the palette I owned. I ended up decluttering it because I found the eyeshadows would have a tendency to blend away and fade throughout the day.
These look really enticing but I would be curious to see how they have updated their formulas. The shimmers look like ones that have a lot of slip to them and would be challenging to work with using a brush.
I love the Lorac Pro fomula. It’s one of my absolute favorites. So I’m not crazy about a reformulation…
Noir is for moi! A lovely cool toned neutral palette for the darker end of medium up through deep, rich skintones is so welcome!
Yes!!!! 100 times yes. As a brown woman, I am so happy to see a complete palette deep enough for me. I love the Lorac formula so I’m nervous about a reformulation…but I am going to find out.
These look really beautiful. I used to love Lorac. Can’t wait to see the review but I really don’t need this. I can see this being a great Christmas gift.
I really want to pick up the Meraki Pro Palette as that speaks the most to me, especially since they didn’t do a Mega palette last year. I’m waiting to see swatches (there are none on the website…) and see how I feel. I would love to see a review!
I’ve never tried Lorac (Carol Shaw’s AMA on r/makeupaddiction was…not convincing. Gosh, that was already five years ago!), but I like the concept of this overhaul. We’ll just have to see if it’s well-executed.
I’m super nostalgic for the old Pro Palettes now! I always wanted them and everyone was using them on youtube for so long.
Simmering looks so nice. The last thing I need is yet another palette lol, but I’d use all six shades.
Ooohhh! I was debating on whether I should buy the Natasha Denona Glam palette… I think I will get the Noir instead, and maybe even the Soleil.
Christine, do you think you will review these?
Please? ?
This is really interesting. I just hope (and pray) that formula for these revamped pro palettes is as good, if not better, than the originals. And sometimes when brands ‘revamp’ it is not for the better….
However, these look pretty stunning. I am not quite sure which one I like the best. I have the Lorac Pro Metals palette and it is the only one I have ever bought a back up for, it is so good.
These are beautiful! I would be so curious to see how these rate. I’m glad they did this. I still have fond memories of my Lorac palettes.
I haven’t bought from Lorac in so long but I’m open to being persuaded if these get positive reviews!! I think $35 is very fair and I think I’d go for the Noir one. I used to love Lorac and adored their formula for the Lorac Pro, Lorac Pro 2 and Mega Pro. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. First thing for the holidays I might really love.
Noir looks nice, logically arranged (side eyes ND), but all the ‘sparkle’ shade descriptions make me wary of fallout.
Ooooh, the Noir palette looks so enticing to me! I never got super into Lorac, but if this palette reviews well, I can see myself using it often.
I’m really in to this. Like a lot of people I’m sick of pink and want some good, old-fashioned browns brought back. Noir is calling my name and Simmering is the right size for me to feel good about buying a more reddy/orangey palette. I like Lorac quality and am still bummed I went through a depotting phase many years ago and tore apart my two favorite palettes from her (those little limited edition snakeskin ones).
Replying to myself. Noir is only $35?? Hell yeah I’ll pick it up! I’m so sick of $50+ eyeshadow palettes, particularly as in recent years they’re in color stories with a lot of compromise for me.
Well done, Lorac!
Looks beautiful, as someone who can’t get enough nudes! Are you going to swatch/review?
