Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Eyeshadow Palette Review Swatches Photos

Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Eyeshadow Palette (Rs1200) available at JabongMakeup Revolution Iconic 3 Review Swatches Photos Price India (3)

Rose gold has ruled this year. Urban Decay also launched Naked 3 inspired by the hues of rose, however that brand isn’t easily accessible and I decided to pick the available alternative of it which is Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Eyeshadow Palette. I have also reviewed Makeup Revolution Iconic 1 and Iconic 2 Eyeshadow Palettes.

Iconic 3 comes with 12 shades , mix of pearl, shimmer & matte.

ShadesMakeup Revoution Iconic 3 has rose toned shades. There are some universally flattering shades and some everyday neutrals. However lighter shades are way to light for me. Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Eyeshadow Palette Review Swatches Photos Price India (1)Texture & formula – Texture of the 12 shades varies across the board. Some of them are smooth despite of their finish and some are chalky or powdery especially matte shades. Except for one or two shades rest apply and blend nicely. I have worn them without base and even then these show up really nicely. I was not expecting majority of them to be this smooth. I love to create everyday looks with this palette and you can play with darker shades to create a nice evening/party look as well. All the shades have been swatched without a base in the swatch above and eye makeup below.

Pigmentation – All the 12 eyeshadow are quite pigmented. Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 serves all skintones and thus there are couple of lighter shades , and they don’t really show up on me, especially first 3 shades. Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Review Swatches Photos Price India (2)Staying Power – These eyeshadow stay on for pretty good time, around 5-6 hours and then start fading gradually. Using an Eyeshadow Primer underneath will help them stay on for a longer time and color will also show up much better.

Overall Thoughts

If you love rose gold hues, this palette would please you. Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 comes with a mix of shimmer, pearl and matte eyeshadow and can be used both for everyday neutral looks or daytime/party makeup. I can’t really think of any drawback except for the availability.

    I’ve really been wanting to pick up the Naked 2 Palette, but I haven’t wanted to commit to it encase I don’t like using the rose gold or pink shades. So I’ve been wanting to purchase this one to give it a try first! I looks beautiful!

    Oh dear if u were suppose to buy all 3 of those iconic palettes then why didnt u order them from their own website i.e. makeuprevolutionstore.com???? Jobong priced them 1200 but their original price is 390!! yes m not kidding… so if u buy all 3 it will cost u 1200 the amount for which u bought just 1 of them from jobong… plus the shipping charges from mur is near 800 so in total u pay 2000 if u order from them where as u paid 3600 to jobong for all 3…
