Customer Reviews of Coastal Scents 88 Color Makeup Palette
Customer Review: Wonderful Product...though I doubt anyone will use all 88 shades.
Summary: 4 Stars
There are two common complaints about this palette, and I would like to explain how I solved them during my purchasing experience of with this product. The first complaint is that the eyeshadow (because it contains talc) is too chalky and difficult to apply. This problem is easily solved by changing the method by which you apply the eyeshadow. Before you begin, thoroughly clean your eyes, removing any hints of makeup or any oil that is on your lids. Both of these factors affect how smoothly the eyeshadow goes on. When your eyes are clean, it is important to apply an eyeshadow primer. I use either Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (about $18), or L'Oreal De-Crease Eyeshadow Base ($7-$10). Not only does the primer help the shadow go on evenly, but it holds it onto your lids and prevents those terrible creases that you get by the middle of the day. Next, to apply the eyeshadow, you must use a synthetic brush--not a regular eyeshadow applicator. If you try to put on the shadow using the awful brushes that are included in the palette (my reason for deducting one star from the rating), you aren't going to get anything but a massive headache and a colorful mess all over your face. If you follow these steps, you should have a beautiful eye color. The other complaint is that there is not enough eyeshadow in each of the little trays. Once again, a typical eyeshadow applicator is not recommended with the product. Not only do we tend to dig too deeply and too roughly into the tray when we use an eyeshadow applicator, but they can lead to excess product on your face. If you use an eyeshadow brush, you should get even coverage, and since the brushes tend to pick up just enough product, it will make your shadow last longer. I only had two complaints about this palette. I normally use a great deal of the colors included in the palette, most often the black and various shades of brown, grey, purple, white,tan, and peach. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a use for the greens, blues, and bright pinks. The palette looks a bit awkward with so many used colors on the sides and the middle section completely untouched. However, because I do use so many of the colors, it saves money in the long run because I do not have to pay $5+ for each shade. Also, as I mentioned, the brushes that come with the product are terrible cardboard-esque tools that I threw into the trash immediately. If I had not already owned a set of Sigma brushes, my review would probably be a lot more critical. Before you make this purchase, you must realize that the Coastal Scents 88 Color Makeup Palette is not for everyone. These colors are very vivid, so if you are looking for shadow that is a bit more subtle, I do not advise you to buy this kit. Also, if you are someone who favors the same shade of shadow day in day out, this is not for you either. The Coastal Shades Palette is for those who love to change up their look each day. Some days, I like to do a nice smokey eye, other days I like to use the neutral shades, and some days I like to really experiment and use the brighter colors. Overall, if you love to change up your appearance and don't like wearing the same shade of eyeshadow everyday, I think you will be satisfied with this product.
Description of Coastal Scents 88 Color Makeup Palette
This makeup palette has highly pigmented shades; all shadows can also be applied wet for a deeper longer lasting effect. The compact case makes it easy for storing and traveling.The case has a matte surface and measures 9" x 6.5" (23 cm x 16.5 cm) closed. The pots are Dime Size around and contain plenty of powder for many uses.
The colors do not have a ton of shimmer in them: if this is what you are looking for, you can always dust shimmer over top as I did in the above photo. It is nearly a 50/50 mix of matte and satin with slight shimmer.
