Beautiful trio! I really adore the first one! Thanks for the review! 🙂
Sure thing, Lotus!
Pearl Beige is my favorite but DPT is nice too.
It’s nice to brighten on the lid or as a highlighter!
I really want to try the MUFE shadows, but I’ve been cringing at the price, even with the Sephora 3 pan deal. I didn’t like the colors in the Studio Case kit and it was too bulky to carry around, but I’m REALLY hoping they come out with more kits, so I can pick some up.
I can totally understand – buying singles can get expensive quickly, and with so many palettes, it’s hard to look at pricing on a single! I hope they’ll do more palettes, too.
the only thing is the quality of the palettes are never as good as the singles. and when u really think about it, the price is really good if u buy 3. in the states its $44 but you get 3 shadows which are double the size of mac shadows with much better quality. over time with collecting so much makeup i realized that its more worth it to save your money and buy quality things rather than have a palette with lots of quantity but some duds. save ur money and buy these. they are amazing (with the exception of the iridescent finish because it gets a hard top after one or two uses)
Love love love the third one. And the pink one on your lower lash!
Thanks, Ginny! 🙂
thanks for the review! I love the color! :))
No prob, Athena!
Gorgeous. I love the taupe with a hint of purple to it.
Me too! I like that it performs pretty well on its own (harder for a matte!).
LOVE this look Christine!! I just bought a few of the artist eye shadows myself ( mostly influenced by your reviews of them ha) and I absolutely adore them. Collectible little things thats for sure!!
Thanks so much, Dee! 😀 Happy to hear you’re loving the formula, too! Makes me sooooo giddy!
I’ve been slightly obsessed with shades like Purple Taupe lately. They just seem to work really well as a crease color on me.
Silver brown and Dark Purple Taupe are both pretty by themselves, but I LOVE the look you did here! Impeccable lower lashline work, as always, LOL! <3
Thanks, Sylirael! 😀
silver brown is my color 🙂
YAY!
Dark Purple Taupe is my favourite!
It’s nice in the crease!
I feel like I already have dupes for these three color, or at least similar shades. Still, they all look great, I love how consistent MUFE is.
Phew! Glad ya have dupes!
I honestly would love to dump about half of the MUFE shadows into my own personal paint box, but … okay, I was going to say price is a factor, but really, it’s size. My almost-daily choice for a work look for 2 years has been a pot of MAC Outre, and I’m just now running out of it. Just. Now. I’m sure from a “per gram” standpoint the MUFE shadows are worth it, but I already have shadows that will last me the rest of my life because, while I like them, I don’t use them every day. MUFE would make that even worse because of their size. I wish they’d come out with same-quality shadows at 1/2 or 2/3s of their current size.
BTW, I’m just whining because I want so many of their colors and don’t feel like I can justify it. Ignore my pouting. 🙂
Oh, I totally understand. $21 gets pricey for singles, and with such a large range like MUFE has, it’s painful to try to pick and choose. The amount you get is surely generous, but it’s unlikely most will actually get through a pan! I hope they’ll do more palettes – maybe one each season or something – so you can grab 6-8 colors for $40 instead of $100+.
