Thank god for trial makeup. I had a bridal party and they were excited to try this palette out as the first clients to use it. Sadly once applied the colors looked muddy very quickly. The light colors go on way darker than they look and everything just sort of lost definition once on the eye lid. The colors appear in the palette as having enough contrast but it’s not how they apply. I do feel previous motives palettes were of better color quality than this one. I truly hope what’s next is better and this isn’t the new standard.
If I were to use this palette I would have to pull lighter colors from another to really create proper definition of color on the eyelid.

Thank you for your feedback about Motives The Cool Tones palette. We're sorry you had a poor experience with it. We would suggest priming with our Motives Sculpting Concealer before application as well as setting with our No More Shine Setting Spray. Hopefully this will help with applications in the future.

Whether I need something to go with brown’s or gray’s it goes with everything. Some of the lightest colors that you think would be the soft, have some of the heaviest pigments. It’s definitely a great pallet. A perfect dust amount that doesn’t end up all over the side of my face. I can’t wait to try some of the glitter with a wet brush on a night out on the town.

Love the choice of colors and the quality of the product. This is probably the 1st time I can honestly say I will use every color. Normally, I only end up using about 1/2 of the colors in a palette. Thank you!
