I know you weren't happy with the first eye look, but I LOVE it!!!! So much so, that there were several times when I yelled, STOP! because I loved it even before you added the dark green to the outer lid. You are so talented with your color selection and blending that it's difficult to not love every look you do. I don't think you could even do a bloopers video of bad eye looks. Have a great day, Angela.

Really loved the neutral eye, but I ultimately liked the other eye as well. Wasn’t impressed with the patchy inconsistency of the purple shadow, but adding the blue made it look so much better. As an older woman, I wouldn’t be drawn to this palette, but it has some pretty colors. Even your “bad” makeup days look great! ❤

I think it’s less about the final look, and more about whether the medium is permitting you to use it in the way you want to, to accomplish what you’re going for. There’s some really nice eyeshadows that people really love … but the formulas just don’t lend themselves to the way I like to do my makeup, and the techniques I like to use.

Adept is one of if not my favorite brand. I have way more of their palettes than any others. I love how your looks turned out. But honestly other Adept palettes pack more of a punch with shimmers.

This whole experience reminds me of how I felt about Glaminatrix,s Nearly Nagural palette. Thank goodness this was not the first Glaminatrix palette I had bought otherwise it would have been my first and final purchase from them. That palette just rubbed me the wrong way because of how I felt the shades clashed with my skin tone. I have since mixed the shades in with my singles collection and enjoy them a lot more. This video makes me want to revisit that palette and see if I feel the same way. My skill at mixing shad3s and plying them has gotten somewhat better so I have high hopes for me. This Adept palette reminds me of the Glaminatrix one and thought I have been tempted by the swatches (they seem so easy to use and beautiful). I need a great sale to consider it. The great thing about Glaminatrix Ned Adeot is that their palettes are magnetic. So I never feel tied down by a colour story that may not work for me.

@user-ko7wr9ws3p 6 ай бұрын

You are so talented! I love how you put the colors together and Let’s face it, Adept is not popular for their color story and mattes. I bought it just for their shimmers. And I have to be honest, the mattes are terrible generally in indie makeup brands. But I love to see your tutorial with them. Because the shimmer are just incredible and you are making them more classy with your brilliant technique.

This was my first palette from the brand as well and my experience was SOOO similar to yours. I loved the shimmers, they were smooth and dimensional. The color story is ME so I was really excited to get it but the mattes….. they need some work. I’m glad there’s only 4 on the palette but to help anyone who’s thinking of getting it, please be mindful that the mattes were hard to blend and patchy (for me). Maybe others will like them but I was disappointed by them considering the price.

Here I am commenting nearly 5 months after you posted these looks. I did go ahead and buy the Flying Fiddles palette and the Get Stonned palettes because I found myself completely mesmerized with the shimmer blue brown look you did with those two palettes and the Huda empowered palette. I adore that look and can wear it with many different outfits should the mood arise. I was going to buy Alter Ego’s version but found a brand new, never swatched Huda Empowered palette on Mercari for the same cost, shipping was slightly more is all. Then during Sephora’s sale I bought Patrick TA’s palette (Major Dimension lll). I preferred this one over the Makeup by Mario mattes by far. That, some of Patrick Ta’s blushes a bunch of Mario’s plumping lip shades and a couple of full sized lippies and I hit rouge status. Now after major surgery I don’t feel like wearing anything just yet. But I will. I’m still loving your palette and have hit pan on maybe 3-4 shades! Keep doing your thing! It is very much appreciated!!! 😊

The Mardi G eye ended up looking stunning so well done you 👏 The neutral eye was very pretty but u could do that look with so many other products u have imho. Think I'm more drawn to the bright colours this time. Would love to see you use the pallet again for sure. As always, both looks came together and looked stunning. Amazing job misses ♡♡♡

I believe the adept formulas have a better duo multi chrome shadows then their mattes. I don’t have any problems with either on their palettes but I usually don’t use primers because some make mattes too patchy. I use concealer so that might work better for you. I want to try the new MUF foundation as well but I have dry skin and I heard it’s better for dry skin.

I don't think you are being too harsh on this palette, not at the prices they charge. I haven't tried Adept personally, they just don't call to me I guess.

What a bummer, I love Adept. There is a learning curve with indie shadows (at least with me anyways). I would try it again when you're having a better makeup day. And it may not just be a brand for you. That's going to happen sometimes unfortunately. There have been several palettes that everyone seemed to love and I just didn't. It happens. I hope you get it again on camera, I'd love to see you try it again.

@Kimbyroseh 6 ай бұрын

The mattes do seem kind of stiff and need work to blend. Or lack on where you want and just blend a little on edges. The shimmers seemed to perform well in this palette but they’re just not my favorite colors. If I’m reaching for adept, I think I’d rather reach for my heather Austin palette. There are a couple shimmers in there that I absolutely love! I like those tones of colors a little more than these, but it’s just a personal preference on color. Edit to add: my favorite lid shades from the heather Austin adept palette are 0603, and Hey Y’all. And So Excited is pretty good, but I like those first two shades best. And I like those two shimmer shades more than the shimmer colors in this new flying fiddles palette.

I think this one and their previous bigger palette which was the UFO themed one, both of them don't have as many duochrome and multichrome shades, but instead include some shifty shades with normal shimmer shades mixed in. So I think that could be a reason why it might have felt the palette was not as "worth the hype", unlike the brands previous palettes that have had only shifty shades in them. And just like many other comments here have said, their mattes aren't exactly the best in terms of quality. I have the Minka and the Samarian Sunset palettes, and in both of those I would have just rather had the matte shades left out completely, because I felt the quality wasn't as high as with the shimmer shades in those palettes.

That was my problem with Adept, my expectations were too high. I was expecting shimmers like clionadh and devinah, and these aren't like those at all. They are very thin, but the plus side is they are texture friendly. I thew all their mattes away and put the shimmers I liked in singles palettes. I only have 1 or 2 of their shimmers I reach for nowadays as well. I was hoping the quality would improve with time.

They definitely have different kinds of shimmers. One more everyday and one that’s super sparkly. I love the super sparkly palettes like Sumerian sunset and House of El.

Heather Austin’s palette is beautiful.

I love both of the looks. Is it because you hated everything else? I would love to see a review when you are not hating everything

I had the palette in my cart and then decided to watch more videos about it but now seeing you struggle so much with the blending, I am not so sure... The colors are stunning but is it really worth it ? Especially when you have to work so hard to make it look good... Have you change your mind about it 5 months later ? Are you still using it ?

Since this video I have not used the palette 😬 I did take out one shimmer that I liked and put it into a custom shimmer palette but thats it

I think both of the looks were gorgeous. and you really worked out the kinks. I was able to "feel" the blending struggles. It definitely seemed like the mattes were patchy and sticking to the primer. You worked that s#%t out, though!! I would have never guessed by your finished looks that there was any problem with the application. Love your honesty though, even if it's an unpopular opinion. That's what makes you reliable! xoxo 💕 Thanks for sharing! @angelabright

I honestly don't think it's the shade of the shadows, I think it's too much shimmer in my opinion. If there were more matte shades I think it would blend better. But overall I think the colors look great.

I felt pretty much the same way that you seem to when I tried Adept. It just didn’t live up to the hype for me. I felt meh.

Hey, pretty lady. Not a fan of Adept cosmetics at all. Yes, they have done some pretty palettes but their mattes are notorious to be a dry formula. Both eyelooks are beautiful, BUT YES, the mattes look patchy and dry. I don't think is your technique. It could be that either the formula doesn't like sticky primer/base or the shadow is too dry. Perhaps setting the lid with setting/loose powder first? 🤔 Ultimately, it's a nice color story, so keep playing with it... you've done fantastic looks. You look beautiful still, darling 😘.
