This month's palette is called "Scorpio." It's packaged inside a matching cardboard sleeve.
I have never held a palette quite like this. I am more than intimidated by the matte red shade and the greens are also really loud. Here is how they swatch:
Here are the first 5. Top to bottom: Secretive, Sensual, Intelligent, Magnetic, Passionate
The shimmers from top to bottom: Powerful, Attractive, Loyal, Wild
I am going to admit now that I am not crazy about these shades. The reds and greens are really, really bold. I do like the middle row and the pretty 'Loyal' shade, so I am going to try to make a subdued look with these tones and maybe a hint of green:
1 of 2
Here is what I came up with. I applied 'Powerful' over most of my lid with my fingertip, then blended it with a fluffy brush upwards. It is a very pretty olive-leaning color that I did love on my lid. To give it a little more drama, I used a slightly damp brush and pressed both 'Secretive' and 'Wild' along my lower eyelid. I added a touch of 'Loyal' and 'Passionate' into my crease and then blended upwards towards my brow. I filled in the area of my brown bone with MAC eyeshadow in 'Blanc Type.' Finally, I added a little bit of 'Magnetic' to my inner eye for a little brightness.
Though I had doubts about this palette (and arguably, with my sort of makeup look I would only use about half of it regularly) I really like the look above. I never would have ever reached for a green shadow but I have to admit that it pulls out the green edges in my eyes. I think this look will be really pretty for the holidays too.
The Verdict: I know I say this like every single time I review this subscription, but this ShadowMe palette was so beyond my comfort zone. I do feel like more seasoned makeup enthusiasts might make better use of the bold colors than I can or would, especially those reds! I did end up really liking my festive green look and I feel a little more confident about adding greens to my routine for special occasions.
