This is such a well
overdue blog post I actually can’t remember when I even bought this! This is my
first Makeup Revolution product, and one I’ve not actually used as many times
as I thought. The brand is so so so famous in the bloggersphere, and is well loved
by many of my favourite bloggers and youtubers. They’re probably most famous
because they make really convincing dupes for higher end, more expensive makeup
products. I’ve been eyeing up the Naked Flushed palettes for a little while
now, which are significantly more expensive than their cheeky £3.50 Makeup
Revolution versions. They have been hailed all over the internet as almost
perfect dupes, and while the quality and longevity might not be as amazing as
its more pricey older sister over at Urban Decay, they have certainly been
giving the big brand a run for its money!
I chose my contour kit in
‘fair’. Being pale and vampirey, it can be pretty challenging to find contour
shades in colours that don’t look like great big mud streaks down your cheeks. Luckily,
Makeup Store found a little gap in the market there, and I ended up with a
contour kit which seems to really match my skintone! Though, as I mentioned
before, I don’t wear this all the time (only every now and again when I’ve left
my absolute holy grails at the boyfriend’s!). The palette features a
contour/bronzer, blush shade and a highlighter.
The countour/bronzer
shade is natural and warm, and even though I generally prefer a cooler, ashier
contour shade, this seems to match my skin really well. It also looks fab for
summer makeup because it’s slightly warmer and bronze. The blush is a shimmery,
warm pink. With its coral undertones and glowy finish, again, it ended up being
much more of a summer blush. I have probably worn the blush most out of all the
shades that are featured in this palette. The highlight shade is a slightly
peachy, vibrant cream with subtle shimmer that leaves your skin radiant. I love
this as a highlight, and even though I’ve got higher end options, I do enjoy
using this one when I want to look really defined and glistening; especially on
nights out.
Unfortunately, I can’t
really compare this palette to Urban Decay’s offering, but there are plenty of
reviews online that can. I don’t own the Naked Flushed palette, but to be
honest, I don’t really feel that I need to now I own this Makeup Revolution
version. It’s much more cost effective and, in my opinion, a great product. I
don’t necessarily feel like I need to spend significantly more for a brand
name, but that’s just me! If you’re wondering whether to fork out for the more
expensive option, then this might be a great one to try beforehand.
What is your favourite Makeup Revolution product? Do
you think they’re good dupes? Let me know in the comments!
Lots of love,

I have this palette but I am not very fussed over it, so I very rarely reach for it. I think I keep it only because my husband purchased it for me.
