Beautiful AND Affordable Neutral Palette- Makeup Revolution Nude Silk Eyeshadow Palette Review

I think my most controversial makeup opinion is that Makeup Revolution makes some of the best eyeshadows. I almost always love every palette I buy from them and the Forever Flawless Nude Silk is no exception. 

This beauty is $15.00 and contains eighteen shades: seven mattes and eleven shimmers/metallics. The packaging is made of tin, has a mirror and a firm clasp closure. I personally love the tin packaging, but some may not. With the basic info out of the way, let’s talk pros and only pros because I have no cons!

Pros:

• I love this color story so much. It’s neutral but with some pops of lavender and gold. It’s so easy to create a simple one shadow look or a deep smoky look with it. 
• I like that this is mainly a metallic/shimmer palette. In my day to day life, I typically blend one shimmer all over the lid, put another in my inner corner and that’s it. This palette is perfect to use for those simple looks because most of the shades are light and easy to apply with just a finger.
• The metallics and shimmers in this palette aren’t the most blinding but they are perfect for the “regular” makeup user. I love a super shimmery shadow but there are times when I want a smooth metallic or something a bit less dramatic. They create very little fallout and are just easy to use.
• All of the mattes, even the deepest ones, were easy to blend and work with. 
• The shade Original is a beautiful highlighter and the shade Chic is a perfect blush. I used them this way in the second look I did and because of this versatility, I could see myself traveling with this palette.
