For £4 (from the MUA Website or Superdrug) you get 12 lovely shadows; a total 9.6g of product. I don't want to repeat myself too much, as I've already reviewed (and raved about) the Heaven and Earth Palette and the Starry Night Palette- so if you've read either of those you will know that the shadows are fantastic quality, they are soft (verging on powdery, but I never get fall out, and it's not a big problem), well pigmented and wear really well on my lids (I use e.l.f. Regular Line Primer) with absolutely no fading or creasing.

Right! |
Unlike the other two palettes I've reviewed there is a mix of shimmery and matte(ish) shades, and some with (fine) glitter- as well as a combination of neutral and brighter colours. As it's name (Dusk til Dawn) suggests, there are day and night-time appropriate shadows, and I think this would be my pick of palettes to take with me for a weekend away etc, as you can create so many very different looks with it like a neutral everyday look (perhaps with a pop of colour) or smokey eyes- it's awesome!
Right, less waffling, more swatches:
Top Row |
The two palest shades are good as inner corner highlight- which is really my only criticism of this palette, do I really need two highlight shades in one palette? I suppose the 1st shade would go nicely over other colours to add some shimmer.
Bottom Row |
The purple is really stunning- it has a black base with almost duochrome purple effect- I'm sure it reminds me of a nail polish! And the black is a fairly standard matte black with lots of small glitter particles
I do really love this palette, probably not quite as much as the Heaven and Earth, but it is a very close second I have made a significant dent in several shades (mostly from the 'safe' top row colours! This would be my go-to travel palette because of the brilliant selection of colours and is, as always, a good quality bargain- I definitely recommend taking a look :)
Do you have the Dusk til Dawn palette? Would you like it?

p.s. I've been misspelling 'Dusk' as dust and duck throughout this post, it's been driving me mad!
Lovely post & great swatches! xx

I love the shimmery browns. Very wearable for everyday. Haven't heard of MUA before, but I will definitely see if I can get it in Canada!
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful aren't they? :) MUA is a UK brand so I'm not sure how easy they will be to get in Canada, maybe ebay will have them though :(

I actually think that first shadow is a really lovely neutral shimmer, that would probably be one of my favourite colours in the palette! The first two in the bottom row are also really nice!
ReplyDeleteYeah it is lovely I was just a bit conufused as to why there are two very similar shades in one palette. I think that grey might be my favourite of the palette :)
