UOMA Beauty Royal Heir-itage Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Royal Heir-itage
UOMA Beauty Royal Heir-itage Black Magic Color Palette ($44.00 for 0.42 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that included five matte eyeshadows and five shimmer eyeshadows. The formula of the shimmery eyeshadows stood out to me as they were more emollient, almost cream-like, but the retained that slip when applied to skin, so it wasn’t a true cream-to-powder formula. They had a more intense shine, and while many were sparkly, there was very little fallout to worry over as the more emollient formula helped everything adhere to bare skin.

Ile Ife
Ile Ife is a light-medium peach with strong, warm undertones and a bright, sparkling metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a cream-like texture that was smooth, thin (but not in a bad way), and felt emollient to the touch. The eyeshadow had great adhesion to bare skin, which ensured that those pretty sparkles didn’t get lost or dropped off the lid during application. It wore nicely for eight and a half hours before creasing.

Kush
Kush is a light-medium copper with moderate, warm undertones and a sparkling sheen. It had opaque color coverage paired with a smooth, almost cream-like texture that felt almost wet to the touch, but it was easy to pick up with a dry brush. This shade lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Kush

Mali
Mali is a brighter, medium pink base that seemed slightly cooler-toned paired with a lot of warmer, peachy gold sparkle. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage with a particularly intense finish that was heavy on the sparkle, so it looked more opaque in practice (even if the base seemed sheerer). The texture was more cream-like, dense to the touch, but the actual product was thinner on my lid, though not in a bad way. It stayed on well for eight hours and a half hours with very minimal fallout over time.

Axum
Axum is a bright, medium gold with strong, warm undertones and an intense, metallic finish paired with faint sparkle. It had an almost wet-to-the-touch feel as it was silky and emollient to the touch, but it was thin and still felt and performed like a powder once it came into contact with my skin. It had rich color payoff that adhered evenly to bare skin and wasn’t prone to fallout. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before creasing faintly.

Songhai
Songhai is a deep copper with moderate, warm undertones and a bright, metallic sheen. It had rich color coverage that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out easily along the edges.

This is THE palette of my dreams!!!!!! Im going to be super heartbroken if I don’t get my hands on this palette!
I hope you can get it, Sonia! It just launched at Ulta, so I think inventory will likely be okay. Nordstrom carries UOMA now as well!
The colour story reminds me a brighter version of the original Norvina palette.
Oh wow!. While this has some shades that I can dupe, like Ile-Ife, Kush, Abbysinia and Songhai, I am trying to get into stronger pinks by getting a cohesive complete pink palette without breaking the bank and nothing has taken my fancy…until now. I love the concept of the old powerful African Empires used as the shade names. I also love all the shades in this and can envisage using every single one, which rarely happens for me when I get palettes. Well, I will have to build up my confidence using Jolof, but I’ll definitely get there.
You can do it!! You will be welcomed into bright pink!
I kinda want this even tho I won’t use the bright pink shades. I have these colors but want the shiny ones
Great that it scored well but there is maybe one lone colour in this that I would use. It’s just way too pink and red for my preferences or what flatters me. For those who love these shades, though, how great that it’s such a good palette.
Love your attitude, Mariella 🥰
Well, a better attitude would be to say “to heck with it; I’m going to wear pink, orange and red eyeshadows (shimmery or matte) and to heck with concerns about looking weird”, though I have to say, I feel quite wild and edgy wearing shades like UD Weirwood Leaves or ABH’s Rosette!
Hey, we have our comfort zones and it’s not always about having to leave ’em. Makeup is fun, so if you’re having fun, that’s all that matters!! 🙂
This is a very beautiful palette and I would be grabby hands if I didn’t feel I already have much of this covered in my stash. It kinda looks like Dominique Cosmetics Queen of Hearts meets Pat McGrath Rose series.
doh.. Coloured Raine
NEED
I have no idea how I missed this review yesterday, but, WOW what a palette! This screams summer at the top of its lungs, and I want it!
When I first saw this I thought it looked like a copy of the Coloured Raine Queen of Hearts Palette or one of PMG Divine Rose series. Yet it doesn’t dupe for even on of CR’s and I didn’t see any high dupes of PMG (thought I admit I only looked a few site pages in.) the only issue is I’m not much of a pink person, so I think I’d rather have PMG’s DVII due to the nuances. But this has caught my eye after that rating.
Kinda happy that pink color stories still fly cuz they’re definitely not for me and easy to avoid spending money on. This does look cohesive.
