This luxurious palette includes 12 multi-finish eyeshadows in warm desert-inspired neutrals and brilliant jewel tones, as well as two radiant blushes in soft terracotta hues. The rich pressed shadows are formulated with high-impact pigments for color that won’t crease or fade all day long.

The Laura Geller Laura's Essentials Timeless Terracotta Multi-Finish Eye &amp; Face Palette is a warm, desert-inspired palette. From a first glance, the color story is very bland. The only “fun” color in the palette is the Cactus green which is okay, but it’s much more cool than warm. What’s nice about this color story is that there’s a variety of transition shades for all skin types, so no matter what shade your client is, there’s a warm neutral that can be used to create a soft glam look.&nbsp;Unfortunately, this palette did not perform well. The formula seemed buttery when you swatch it, but the color payoff is terrible. The only colors that performed decently were Sierra and Canyon, which I used to warm up the eye look around the brown bone. What shocked me the most was that even the highlighter shade, Mirage, payoff was streaky and hardly pigmented. This palette was not good.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In short: this palette is great! In long: although I found the color story to be a bit out of season for when I received this palette, I really enjoyed it! I think that if you're either someone who likes an all-in-one type of product or a beginner looking for coordinating products, this is going to be a palette that will serve you well! The pigmentation is fantastic, so be careful-- a little bit goes a long way, and that includes the blush. It's not so pigmented that is unworkable, but it is on the higher side of payoff so I think that's worth noting. I wouldn't necessarily add it to my kit, but I could certainly see this palette being a hot recommendation come summertime! I'll definitely be reaching for it more once the weather warms up ☀️✨

I’ve been a Pro Makeup Artist for over 2 decades now and have used several different palettes within that time. When looking to add a new palette to my kit or personal collection, I always have certain expectations of what I want them to offer. A few of those key offerings are a good range in shades (of course), an easily blendable formula and a high color pay off.I really like the concept of this Laura Geller Essential Timeless Terracotta Multi Finish Eye &amp; Face Palette. It comes with a highlighter and blush option along with 12 shades of eyeshadow. I do however, wish that the eyeshadows weren’t so close in tone. It almost seems as though some of the shades are repeated. I also wish it offered a more pronounced color pay off and less fall out.I think this palette is ideal for someone who wears minimal makeup. Someone who prefers to add just a little color to their appearance while maintaining a very natural result might find this palette and soft shade range more useful.Pro tip: If a deeper color payoff is desired, make sure to use a good primer or concealer before using this palette. Also, using eye patches under your eye or applying shadow first, before foundation will help to clean up fall out and prevent it from affecting the rest of your application.
