Wow, those purple mattes look surprisingly bad and patchy.

Elizabeth

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

Agree.

Mariella

Very Light, Pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin.

I’m slightly relieved that none of these appeal to me (and I’m still waiting for Sephora to email me when they restock the Petit Pro palette….if they EVER do). One less thing to obsess on!

Stephanie

Lightest, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Normal-to-Oily skin.

I don’t know why you haven’t received an email, but Sephora has had the Petit Pro palette is in stock for a few weeks.

Mariella

‘fraid not! It’s still showing as “out of stock” on the Canadian website.

Stephanie

Oops, sorry! Hopefully it’s in stock there soon!

Susan E Nevling

Mariella, on hope you get that palette. It is so good. Have you tried going to the Viseart site? That’s what I did

Mariella

I’m actually quite happy to wait til (if) it is restocked, given the really mixed reviews on it. Ordering from the site involves a whole lot of aggro in terms of duty, delivery charges, TAXES on delivery charges (and the item itself, of course). I take the view that if I can get it in my country, fine; if not, it wasn’t meant to be (hey, it’s one way to curb my cosmetics purchasing).

Katherine T.

Aaaaaahhhh!!!! WTF??? I pre-ordered the Viseart Amethyst –the 3 mattes look HORRIBLE!! I can barely even see some of the swatches. Is this Viseart??? I can get better shadows from the DS. And I also got the Nuance shadow palette, but from promo pics, thought it was going to be more rose and pinks! I have dupes shades in my stash already, what a HUGE disappointment. I think I’m going to be returning my entire order to Muse Beauty Pro 🙁 And most of the blush/bronzer swatches look very weak. Yikes, what is going on with Viseart???

janine

Light Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal skin.

I’m sorry shows how much I know about mattes.?

Katherine T.

Oh no, I do your Viseart Amethyst mattes swatch like this too?? So sorry 🙁 Maybe your batch is better and applies better? I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you. I had pre-ordered the Viseart shadow palettes weeks ago when they had that special deal going on at Muse Beauty, but there were no real swatches/reviews to look at, but I took a chance. I have Viseart Paris Nudes and love it and other palettes got good reviews, so I’d figured the new palettes must be good if it’s Viseart, right? Yikes, guess not. Well, not too late for me to return, but kind of worried about what’s going on with Viseart’s quality

janine

I rechecked and mine swatched good. Weird I know. I’m sad that their are bad batches.

kjh

Maybe it’s a one- off. It HAS happened.

Katherine T.

Just found out another reader got Amethyst, and she said hers isn’t too great, weak mattes and shimmers are fall-out city 🙁 IDK, will be curious to hear what others have to say, as people are just getting their palettes in the mail

Nancy T

Medium, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin.

Katherine, I thought the same as you, until I saw the gorgeous purple eye look that Christine did using it! It doesn’t look uneven or splotchy at all. ?

Katherine T.

Oh no, Christine looks good in just about everything, ahahahaha! Will await her thoughts on this, but the matte Amethyst swatches look like D/F to me

Marie-Estelle

Very Light, Pink, strong pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin.

I am very interested by the two eyeshadow palettes! Really found of the colour selection. ?

Nancy T

Medium, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin.

Out of all 4, I’ve got to say that shade selection wise, it’s Amethyst for me. Even though Nuance seems to have slightly better pigmentation, I feel that I’ve got shades like Nuance’s well repped in my stash. Not sure how I feel for certain towards the cheek trios, however.

I am all in for Nuance palette. I think it’s the first palette I’ve ever seen where I’d use every shade, and it fills a big gap for me. Can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Shannon. N

Light Plus, Yellow, strong yellow undertones. Dry skin.

I need all of them ?

Pearl

Light Medium, Peach, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Oily skin.

I almost pre-ordered these but am glad I held off. Still curious about the review, though. I love the purple shimmers.

Alison

Light Medium

Was really excited for the Amethyst palette, but the mattes look so patchy. Unless it reviews well, I’m gonna have to pass. The shimmer side looks gorgeous, but I can’t justify buying a palette that’s only half good.

Jess

I’m glad you reviewed these! I just added them to my cart when I saw they were on the Sephora site but the swatches are not what I was expecting. Thank you money saved!

Tanya

I preordered Amethyst and Nuance before they were released, so because of the shipment delay I received Petit pro palette and one of Muse brushes free. As a combination order, $75 was a good price for them all, but of it was only the two palettes, that would be too much. My Amethyst swatched better than Christine’s and Nuance swatched very well. I am very impressed by Muse’s customer service though. Never I have encountered such excellence before. I will no longer order any viseart palettes from sephora, but will be buying from Muse.

Ouineque

Is it just me or are these bronzers looking very sub par? Like Mariella says: one thing less to obsess on!

Rachel R.

Lightest, Neutral undertones. Normal-to-Oily skin.

I was wanting Amethyst, but now that I see the mattes are patchy, I’ll be skipping.

Daniela

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

I don’t worry much about the swatches because my Viseart blushes don’t swatch that great but apply incredible on me and are my favorites but I do worry a bit about Amethyst since I wanna order that one next.

Genevieve

Lightest, Pink undertones. Dry skin.

This is an interesting batch from Viseart – some look great and some look patchy.

Erin

Lightest, Neutral undertones. Combination skin.

Wow, the Amethyst wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. I like the Ablaze one though.

Bonnie

Light, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Oily skin.

As Tanya mentioned previously, Muse’s made an awesome customer service gesture – free petite pro palette for a shipping delay that was out of their control. Impressive. ???
The two lighter mattes in my Amethyst palette swatched much better than Christine’s. The dark purple is a bit of a stinker. That said, the 3 satin colors are gorgeous.
Everything in the Nuance palette swatched well.
And of course Muse also included the eyeshadow brush on preorders. Very pleased with my purchase.

Susan E Nevling

After seeing the swatches and comments, I’m really torn. I wanted one of both but know not sure. Maybe primer would help?9

Lauren

Lightest, Neutral undertones. Normal-to-Oily skin.

I pre-ordered amethyst, and while the mattes swatch so-so, they apply gorgeously. I’m really happy with it!

Jessica

Very Light, Pink undertones. Oily skin.

Ugh, Nuance has perfect shades for my taste but the performance does not look stellar
