FAQ

When does it launch?

The collection launches June 18th at 9AM PDT. This is not a pre-order. The palettes will be ready to ship.

Is it limited edition? Will it sellout?

It is permanent–as long as it sells well, they will continue to restock it. The number of palettes ordered–that’s packaging!–is more than the brand has had at launch than for any previous launch. I know every collaborator says as much, but I would be truly floored if the palettes sold out.

Will your discount apply?

Yes. Readers can use code TEMPTALIA15 for an additional 15% off individual palettes (making them $34 each) or the bundle of three (making it $85).

Can I mix and match palettes in the trio?

Yes, Sydney Grace confirmed that you can choose the Light version of one palette and Deep version of another for the trio.

Should I get Light or Deep?

For those with lighter skin tones and prefer something closer to standalone, the Light versions likely will be easier to use in that fashion. For those who already have a slew of transition and blending shades and are happy to pull them out alongside a palette, the Deep versions are slightly more unique.

Light versions were tested on dark skin to get feedback, even though they were developed for light skin tones. Here is that feedback:

Quintessence: Parallax (Light) is too light for dark skin and will leave a white cast. Reaching Zenith (Light) may work on deep skin tones if one likes cooler tones; it is on the “bubble” so-to-speak.
On the Horizon: October Odyssey (Light) works on dark skin tones (one of the tester’s favorites!). Infinite Echoes (Light) is cool-toned and can look a little gray/ashy.
Radiant Reflection: Unstoppable Love (Light) will work on dark skin tones. Dearest Constant (Light) may work as a blending shade on dark skin.

Will shades in the palette be available as singles?

There are no plans to offer them as singles. I imagine if the launch is successful, it is something I could certainly inquire about. The only single is Dear Reader, which is not available in the palettes.

Where do I purchase your palettes?

Sydney Grace is the sole distributor.

What will it cost to ship?

For US addresses, they ship flat rate at $4.

For non-US addresses, shipping will range from $27 to $32 for up to three palettes; the total weight of three palettes is under the next pricing tier but this is basically level one for shipping packages internationally. All packages ship USPS; international customers can request an alternative carrier but the cost will likely be higher as a result. Sydney Grace ships to most countries (excluding China due to animal testing requirements and any COVID-19 restricted countries). The cost of shipping increases as more products are added, and you can estimate the cost of shipping prior to checking out (for those looking to make a larger order).

Will you have swatches on other skintones?

Yes, palettes are being sent to official swatchers for the launch today or tomorrow (June 7th/8th). As the collaborator, I literally received mine first (shipped Thursday, June 3rd!), so I recruited my husband (who is lighter and pinker) and my sister (who is darker and very olive) while I was swatching on me, but we will have swatches on the following skin tones at launch:

Very light (Fenty 110) (my husband)
Light (Fenty 180) (me)
Medium (Fenty 230) (coming soon, will be by Sabrina @ The Beauty Look Book)
Medium-Dark (Fenty 345) (my sister)
Dark (Fenty 430) (coming soon, will be by Day @ Legally Black Beauty, who also tested shades for suitability on deeper skin tones during development!)
