And to be honest, it did and more. The palette itself contains three concealers, a powder, a blush, a bronzer and a highlighter and is supposed to be for on-the-go touch ups throughout the day, which is exactly how i use it. The pigment in all the products is amazing, they all have great pay-off and give really nice finishes. The product i use the most in this palette is without a doubt the concealers. I generally use the darkest for spots and colour correcting as it has a very strong yellow undertone and the medium colour for under my eyes and highlighting. The lightest colour is super, super pale, like i'd have to really blend this to stop it looking completely insane, so i don't normally use this one. But the others i have hit pan on both as i get so much use from them. They are super creamy, blend really well even with my fingers and are super opaque so have a really good coverage which is great for on the go touch ups. They are a little dry and do cling to dry patches a little but all in all the concealers are a really good product.
The powder is also really lovely, reasonably finely milled so doesn't look too cakey even on my dry skin. I can apply this with my fingers if need be and it still looks really natural on the skin. It's a translucent powder, so you're not going to end up with it being too dark or too light on your skin, it's a really forgiving shade, and I also feel like there is a slight glow to the powder, nothing too visible but it definitely illuminates which I really like, as it leaves a really nice finish on my skin. It keeps shine at bay for a good couple of hours without touching up, so for a person with oilier skin then me, this may be a bit less but still for such a decent product, you get quite a lot for the money.
The cheek products are also really good quality. The highlighter is a really subtle pink toned glow, that can be built up to give a much more intense highlight. Again, the powder is finely milled and blends really easily, it has got a slight iridescence so if you're not a huge fan of sheeny cheek products, this might not be for you.
The blush is a very wearable pink, and is just the right amount of pigment. It can be blended out really nicely or built up to a more opaque colour. The powder is a really lovely formula and leaves a nice finish, and it is a nice everyday shade that I think will look good on most people.
The contour/bronzer is the only disappointment with this palette for me, and even then, i wouldn't call it bad, it's just wrong for my skin tone, so it will suit other people perfectly. It's a bit too orangey for my pale skin, but if I really blend it out, it is wearable, and I am going to try to use it more often because it has such a nice texture. It feels quite silky, and I am glad that it's in this palette, although it's not quite the right colour.
I must admit, I'm not sure I'm happy that the cheek products are in this palette, as I don't know about you, but I don't tend to top up my cheeks throughout the day. As a result, I don't tend to reach for them as often because this palette usually lives in my handbag, and it's just a bit of a faff getting up and finding it when I'm at home because I have other colours available in my collection to hand, but overall, for the price, I really can't complain. I really love the palette as a whole and I would definitely repurchase once the products start running out. I'd highly recommend this as a really good on-the-go product. The packaging is compact, light, and has a fantastic mirror built into the lid. It feels sturdy, and it doesn't make me feel nervous about just throwing it in my bag and carrying it around with me on a day to day basis. I definitely recommend the palette, and the £6 is worth every penny (at the time of writing, this palette is on sale for £4 on the Makeup Revolution website, and I seriously suggest that you snap it up for that price!), and I'll definitely be buying a backup.
Thankyou so much for reading guys! I'm sorry my posts have been a bit irregular recently, I've returned to school and it's all been a bit hectic. I hope it'll all settle down and that I'll get back into a bit of a routine again, so bare with me.
