I wasn’t happy about this at first, as I do own the others, but in retrospect I can definitely see why these three shades were repeated. Three of these shades (Tempera, Burnt Orange and Cyprus Umber) are actually repeats from the Modern Renaissance palette. The palette contains primarily mattes, which is actually typical of Anastasia Beverly Hills palettes, but also has a very select metallics that are absolutely stunning. It really is a perfect daily palette.īelow I have the swatches from the palette and you can see the variation on colours very well. There is enough variation in shades (ranging from browns to orange, to roses and shimmering golds) to create some very different looks, but still maintaining that wearability and ease of use. However, the selling point of this palette is definitely in the high quality formula and the harmony of the colour palette. Personally, I thought that this palette looked boring at first – it is very neutral and a lot of these shades aren’t exactly unique. The palette is luxuriously packaged, with a large mirror and double-ended brush. Create softly glamorous looks any time with the combo of ultra-matte, duo chrome and metallic shades that are fully pigmented and easy to blend. These 14 full-pigment and easy-to-blend shades glide on with the supplied double-ended brush to deliver ultra-matte and shimmer finishes.
It also claims to have the same soft formula as their original MR palette. It has one fluffier end for blending, and a denser side for packaging (this is best suited for the metallic or shimmer shades).Īccording to the Sephora Australia website, this is “an everyday to night palette with fourteen shades, including essential mattes and glam shimmer.” This product was released after the Subculture palette and is intended as a more neutral and classic version of the Modern Renaissance palette. I usually don’t use these, but I find that Anastasia palettes have a good quality brush, so I am happy to use this while I am travelling. It also contains a standard duo ended brush. The palette opens up and contains fourteen shades, in a combination of mattes and metallics. Alternatively, you can also keep it stored in the cardboard unit carton, but I’m personally too lazy for that. It is difficult to get any product off of the material.
To keep your palette clean, I would recommend storing it in a drawer (not out in the open) and just being careful when you are using it. Unfortunately, it seems like it’s become somewhat of a standard, and it might be hard for them to branch away from this design for a while. It looks really nice, of course, but the material just gets so dirty so quickly. As with my previous comments on the packaging, which you can find by reading my other reviews, I am not a fan of this. This product comes in the standard Anastasia Beverly Hills style packaging, but this time in a camel/beige coloured velvet. For international readers, you can pick this up either at the official Anastasia Beverly Hills website, Cult Beauty or Beautylish.Īnd so, without further ado, let’s just right into my review of one of my favourite palettes. This retails for AUD$75 at Sephora Australia or USD$42 in America. Of course, I still don’t feel like I (or anyone) needs multiple neutral toned palettes but if you are going to invest in one, then the Soft Glam is a great one to look into!
Since getting this, I find that I can using neutral shades more in my every day routine and I have discovered a newfound appreciation for this sort of colour palette. I wasn’t originally intending on getting it, because I usually gravitate towards brighter and bolder eye make up, but the quality of these shadows is incredible and the colours really do look better in real life (though I hope these photos can do it some justice). This is one that I picked up on a whim while I was in the States. I always highly recommend the Anastasia Beverly Hills palettes, and the Soft Glam one is definitely the most wearable of the range.
