Subculture eye shadow palette

Product Information

NO. At least not with a good conscience. As much as I love the colors, I’m disappointed that it’s my only colorful palette because it performs terribly. For all the reasons listed above and for the same reasons you’ve probably heard other people talk about.

Below, you’ll find the closest Make Up For Ever dupes I could find (permanent, pan refills) — any major differences noted below. View swatches here. The first ingredient now is talc (replacing mica in the MR palette), which is unbelievable for me. As a person with skin allergies, I really try to avoid talc, as well as other ingredients that might cause an issue. That’s the reason I kept buying ABH (and, for example, avoiding Too Faced and their perfumed palettes – ugh, don’t even get me started on those). To create a soft bronze eyeshadow look, apply Rustic through the crease of the eye and press Bronze onto the lid.

The next two attempts were moderately successful with extra patience, even more care and attention, and using smaller, flatter brushes and building up as much as possible (trying to account for the intense pigmentation of the darker shades) – those would be looks four and five. The shadows apply very pigmented in the initial area they’re applied, but don’t spread out evenly. Most of the pigment remains concentrated in the first spot and any attempt at blending ends up looking splotchy, uneven. Okay, I just used the Subculture palette. I refuse to believe that is what ABH intended with this palette.

The texture was of the mattes was quite substantial; they were denser with a very silky, smooth consistency, which made them pigmented and apply that way so long as I applied them to the lid first. When I tried to apply Rowdy on the outer corner and into the deeper crease (with Fudge as a transition shade and Roxy on the outer lid), it seemed to sheer out a bit and never appeared as intense as it did on its own (it seemed more an issue of Rowdy not adhering onto Roxy rather than Roxy overwhelming the depth of Rowdy). I struggled to get Fudge to blend downward from the crease with the lid colors–it looked like a cut crease, though it was not an attempt to do so!–but I could diffuse it moderately above the crease, where there was no eyeshadow yet.

I didn’t expect to buy this controversial palette (long after the drama died down), but I caved so here is my take on it. Editor's Note: Based on using this palette more than probably any other palette I've used in the last 5 years, there were no significant changes made except for Cube, which became particularly worse with continued use, which dropped raw rating to 82.4%, which dropped the averages to 7.5/9.5/8/8/4 for the palette as a whole. I have only added edits where applicable but left the original review intact. I noticed that sometimes the eyeshadows did not blend as well into each other, and this seemed particularly true when attempting to layer and blend the deeper shades over the lighter ones, but while trying to apply some of the lighter shades over the deeper ones, they seemed to wash out and muddy up the colors. The thing is, this hasn't been an issue I've encountered often with Anastasia's eyeshadow formula. I've tried the palette over bare skin (duh) along with four primers: Smashbox 24HR, Marc Jacobs Coconut Eye Primer, Urban Decay Original Primer Potion, and LORAC Behind the Scenes Eye Primer. It did not get better or worse with or without a certain primer; it remained inconsistent. Best Dupes Of Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Eyeshadow Palette 1.
