Viseart Petit Pro (02) Eyeshadow Palette Review, Photos, Swatches
Petit Pro (02)
Viseart Petit Pro (02) Petit Pro Palette ($30.00 for 0.28 oz.) is new, eight-pan palette with four matte shades and four shimmery shades. I usually find Viseart’s quality to be on the higher side, and occasionally, their “misses” will be less-pigmented matte shades, but they’ll be very buildable and easy to work with, but I had one matte shade here (#4) that was terrible and one shimmer that was beyond dismal.

PPermanent. $30.00.
Petal
Petal is a light-medium coral with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had a soft, velvety texture that was slightly powdery in the pan, but it had good pigmentation and blended out well on my lid and did not seem to have fallout issues during application. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading.

Formula Overview
-
The eyeshadow formula is supposed to be "pigment[ed]" with "smooth and even application" that is "long-lasting." The matte shades are typically semi-opaque to opaque but buildable with soft, velvety textures that can sometimes be a little powdery or slightly firm, depending on the shade. I find that the mattes are often best suited to someone who likes control over pigmentation and may prefer to build up color; they regularly perform better in practice than just swatched on the arm as well.
The shimmer shades range from satin to metallic, and the more metallic shades tend to feel creamier to the touch, while the satin ones have a fine pearl to them that looks almost melted on the lid once blended out. Both the mattes and shimmers are blendable and easy to work with. Most of Viseart's eyeshadows wear between seven and nine hours on me.

Nectar
Nectar is a medium coral with warm, orange undertones and a mostly matte finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque in one layer, while the texture was soft, a little drier to the touch, but it was fairly easy to work with and apply to my bare lid. The eyeshadow started to fade on me after eight hours of wear.

Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle is a dark brown with warm, red undertones and a matte finish. It had good color payoff that was buildable to full coverage with two layers. The texture was soft, lightly dusty in the pan, and a bit messier to work with so some care was needed to avoid fallout during application. It blended out nicely and stayed on well for eight hours.

Foxglove
Foxglove is a muted, medium eggplant purple with subtle, warm pink undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer pigmentation with a firmer, stiffer texture that made building up the pigmentation a challenge and blending more difficult. The quality was poor, period, and for Viseart, was embarrassing. It lasted well for seven and a half hours on me.

Primrose
Primrose is a medium rosy pink with warm undertones and a metallic finish. It had sheer coverage, which was unexpected and so poor that I tried it damp (which isn’t a common thing I do with Viseart for testing), and it was better dampened but not impressive. The texture felt very slippery and yet drier where the powder felt sandy on my skin. It had a ton of fallout during application and poor adhesion. It lasted for three hours dry… at best.

Oh dear — so not like Viseart! I hope this is a mere fluke and that they don’t erode their heretofore stellar quality over time in a rush to respond to the demand for their products.
I was really surprised (in a bad way) with the shimmery shade that was a miss… I have found some of their mattes to be more medium and buildable in coverage yet easy to work with, so I wasn’t immediately concerned when I saw less pigment in the purple shade!
I don’t know here, but is Viseart a cruelty free or vegan brand? If so that might explain the difficulty in creating more easily blendable and powerfully pigmented shadows when it comes to the more cool toned reds and purples since they then cannot use the very otherwise very commonly used crushed beatles to obtain the pigment? I’m no expert on pigments by any means, but have read on several occasions how brands who want to be cruelty free and or vegan have a challenge in creating smooth alternatives to some of the more cool toned red pigments.
It seems strange to me that a brand like Viseart who’s whole name and brand is built on make up artistry and quality would without any reason start to skimp on performance quality when that so clearly is their strongest USP?
Bu maybe that’s just me being naive…
This product contains carmine, so I don’t think they are vegan or trying to be!
I was seriously tempted by this, but was waiting for your review. Thank you, as always, for your timely reviews, Christine! This one saved me some $.
No problem, Jessica!
I received this Friday but it arrived broken. When I returned decided not to repurchase, would have had to order the replacement off line. I wanted it for the orange/coral shades and they are pretty lack luster. I bought it to compliment my Tryst palette. I think I’m good with just Tryst though.
Oh no!! So sorry to hear yours arrived broken!
I am so glad I waited for your review before rushing out to buy this one.
Happy to help, Lesley!
So glad I waited for you review, I almost bought it last week!!!
Right now, it seems like I’m the one of the only ones unhappy with it!
Wow – how did those two shockers get past qualtiy control at Viseart? The rest of the palette is stunning and if those two shades had even been a C rating, it still would have been workable.
Beautiful eye look Christine.
Thanks, Genevieve!
Wow…. what have they gone and done to their usually super high quality eyeshadow. I actually liked the color scheme of this, as it veered into more of plummy purple vibe than straight up red. Apparently, it’s the redder shades that work. I’m feeling a case of the sads over this. I need some hot cocoa or wine now. Perhaps both.
The shimmer one has me befuddled!
Thank you for this review. Almost purchased for my mom! Now I have to decide between Anastasia B.H. Soft glam and the new Marc Jacobs (hoping you review soon ?). Those were her 3 favorites ☺️
Sorry, I don’t have anything from Marc Jacobs to review!
Thank you for responding Christine ?Sorry I did not specify which Marc Jacobs palette I was speaking of (New Eye-Conic in Fantascene, releases in April) and I hope you get it soon! ??☺️
I knew this would start to happen! Too much products being rushed out. Their quality is slipping, because of it. Glad I waited for review. I really hope these grades won’t be the new, norm, for this brand.
I hope it’s just a one-off, but I guess we’ll see!
Oh it is disappointing that this is such a poor performer. Personally, I don’t really care as, once again, these are not colours for me but I thought Viseart was always capable of and aiming for better. Now I’m worrying that the Absinthe little palette might not be very good either.
The shimmer being so wonky is definitely out of the norm.
I agree with the others, good thing I waited for the review before buying. Viseart usually does great shadows but their last 4 releases haven’t appealed to me. I hope the new Theory palettes are better quality. Thank you for the timely review!
Funny I got this sat and thought it was great. Granted the light peach doesn’t show much on me but I thought the dark purple was good I did layer it tho over the dark brown.I used all the shimmers on my lid tho they seemed ok. Weird. My coral is very pigmented. I do a lot of layering for blending purposes tho.. can’t wait to try this with the tryst they complement so nicely.
happy to hear you’re enjoying it!
Janine, So glad you posted this comment. Mine will arrive tomorrow and I suspect I am going to like it. All the reviews I could find were positive. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Wow, I don’t think I have ever seen Viseart receive such bad marks. This one didn’t tempt me anyway.
I think this is the lowest rated palette for sure!
I was just about to purchase this palette but for some reason decided to Google reviews first. 🙁 This breaks my heart, I thought I would buy this instead of Soft Glam which honestly has too many shades that I already owned. Guess I’ll give this a miss, thank you and I love you for your honest reviews. xx
No problem, Shireen!
Wow, I’m glad I decided to spend my $30 on the Violet Voss Rainbow palette. I’m glad I did, 10 (big) pans as opposed to 8 and it’s gorgeous. The shade Figi is a beautiful and very unique turquoise/green duochrome.
Woah, that’s really poor for Viseart. I’m so thankful for your reviews, Christine! Normally I would have bought this without a second thought!
Happy to help, Mimsie!
Now I am waiting on your review of Absinthe. You never know.
Wish I could help you!
If that means that you won’t be reviewing it then it also means I won’t be buying it. I’m not taking the word of reviewers who only rave about products to get more PR samples.
Aw! I was not tempted by this one (still happy with my petit pro 1), but this makes me sad…
I’m bummed, too!
Oh this review is so disappointing! I have no Viseart palettes but when I saw promo images of this one I thought that this would be the one I would get as the colors really spoke to me.
I was hoping for better, too!
FWIW mine is great w/ none of the same problems. My Primrose is a more subtle shade compared to the other shimmers, but only in that it’s more of a satin whereas the others are more metallic (which is not odd as Viseart as two disc tint types of shimmers); performance wise it’s fine, both in application & weartime. And my Foxglove is entirely fine w/ no issues at all. I’m far from a Viseart expert but this is also not my first – I have Neutral Mattes, 3 Theories, & now both Petite Pros – & I have no complaints/ issues. And TBH I’m pretty picky w/ eyeshadow.
It’s a shame that Christine’s didn’t perform the same as mine but I’ve not seen or heard anyone else to have similar problems & have heard from more than a handful of others w/ palettes that seem to be performing more like mine, not only in comments here but in videos as well as one in “real life”. All of which is to say that, with the safety net of Sephora’s return policy behind you, if it appeals to you I’d say it’s still well worth trying.
Color me surprised by this rating. I guess I have such high expectations for Viseart that I always expect everything that they do to be stellar, but I guess that can’t always be the case. Luckily, I have dupes for almost every shade in this palette. I feel like whenever their consumer friendly products aren’t always up to par with their products that are truly geared towards professionals. It’s probably a fluke and not something they’re doing consciously.
I’m glad I didn’t spring for this one.
I received this the other day, and don’t have a problem with any shades. The pink is sheerer than it could be, but my purple was fine. Is Viseart having issues like they did with the first Petite Pro? Mine was stellar all around, but others had bad ones. I guess I will count myself lucky.
No one noticed this palette is made in US (not in France!). Just like the Viseart Grande Pro 1. Can be that one the reason of the difference in quality?
I asked the owner directly about this & while some of the palettes are made/ assembled in the US, all shadows to date have been & are still being made at their same factory in France.
How odd…mine doesn’t have those issues at all. Primrose is more subtle – like their satins vs their metallics – but still performs fine for me, both in application & weartime, & my Foxglove is great. Such a shame that yours isn’t the same…
