This year anastasia came out with quite a few collaboration palettes with some of the, I wouldn't say famous but well known instagrammers. Few months back it was amrezy, then Maya Mia and now Tamanna of @dressyourface.
I was not really sold with the first two palettes although I am now regretting not getting it especially the Maya Mia palette. I have watched and read a lot of review about the first two saying that they have a lot of similar colors. On pictures it certainly looks like it but I don't wanna bash it just based on what I've watched or read. So I'm keeping my mouth shut.
I just turned big 30 last week and having sisters in law is the best. One of them work at sephora and she got me the new anastasia Beverly hill palette collab with Tamanna. At first I was like ehh it looks ok. But boy oh boy I was wrong. Once I've seen the makeup on day light I immediately thought of what look I can come up with with that palette. I have so many ideas I wish I could show it to you guys ASAP.
Tamanna Roashan or dressyourface as everybody knows her is a celebrity and bridal makeup artist. She is also an international beauty educator. She has been doing this job for more than 12 years. You can follow her on instagram, Twitter and Facebook all under in one name.
As I was trying it on I was thinking to myself, this would really look good on women with medium-tan skin color. The turquoise, the cranberry, copper, bronze and gold color will pop out on them. But you know what who cares. If you're really into makeup you'll know how to work it whether your fair, light, medium or dark. Am I right ladies and gents?
I provided a picture for you guys of the palette, swatches of it and one look that I did when I first wore it. And yes I tried it on right away when I got it. I'm that excited!
The packaging is just like any other anastasia palette, it is made out of card board sturdy enough to keep the eyeshadows safe for traveling. The packaging design is awesome! Very Mediterranean. Though I'm not sure if she's Mediterranean or Asian. None the less I love the design.
Here's the swatches of the palette. All the colors are gorgeous but my favorites (with an s meaning plural-a lot) are Bengal, sangria, china rose and gilded. This palette is so perfect for fall. It has your neutrals and some jewel tones that's not like in your face so bright. It's bright but very wearable. They are all creamy and super easy to blend.
Fresh is a nice all over and highlight color as well as blush. Venezia is a nice jewel tone perfect for the pop of color. Gilded is like a bronze pewter kind that I like to put all over and then blend it with Bengal a medium brown color. And the rest well you guys can check it out by buying it while it's still out.
Here's the first look I've created with it. Btw they have some looks card included with the palette but I didn't really need it coz it doesn't look good with my eye. As you can see I have small eyes and kinda have a mono lid.
To get this look I prime my eyes with Mac soft ochre then dust the color fresh all over the lid. Then I used Bengal as my transition color. I left the inner corner put to 1/4 of my eye, added shinna rose all ove the rest of my lid the on top sangria 3/4 of the outer part. Btw I spayed a little of fix+ on my brush to make the colors pop out. I added chocolate on the outer crease and the noir on the outer v to make it more intense. And lastly Venezia on the inner corner of my eyes. On my lover lash line I smudge Venezia and sangria on it. Lined my eyes was with inglot #77 eyeliner and used kiss eyelashes. And mascara and voila! We are done.
I hope you guys enjoyed this blog and a mini tutorial. Xoxo
