Makeup Revolution Beyond Flawless Ultra Eye Shadow Palette Review and Tutorial

I have been slightly addicted to Makeup Revolution recently, and they have an incredible selection of palettes all at different prices. I've already reviewed the Flawless Matte palette, which is another product in this collection, and I saw the Beyond Flawless palette for £8 and decided to buy it and try this one out.

Just like the Flawless Matte palette, this one is also boxed which is to protect the case of the palette but also it makes the presentation a bit nicer and this is a pretty gold colour. I feel like this will be a really nice gift for someone as well.

This also has a colour guide on the back and as you can see this has mainly neutral eye shadows so this gives me the impression that this will suit all eye colours and skin tones.

The actual case of the palette is a shiny black case which I'm actually a little bit frightened to touch it because it looks so clean and new! But past that, it is a very sleek case with the signature gold lettering on the lid.

Inside the palette there is a clear plastic insert like the other palette and this has the names of each colour printed on. I've said before that this is a really useful feature because you can easily take it out and replace it once you close the palette and this also protects the eye shadows as well.

I love this internal mirror. It's a generous size making it a great on-the-go palette and it's lightweight so great to take on holiday or easily fit into a suitcase or something like that.

There is a combination of matte and shimmery shades and these colours are very wearable and mainly brown toned with a few smokier colours like the greys and black and some coppery and pink toned shades.

There are 8 columns and 4 rows, and each column has four shades that compliment each other really nicely, and you can combine the four shades for your eye makeup or mix and match shades from the palette to create something entirely new and unique.

The swatches look absolutely amazing and pigmented and were soft to touch, but didn't seem to be crumbly at all.

From left to right the shades are:

Flawless, Light Caramel, Papaya, Bare Pink, Sand Dune, Mineral, Espresso and Warm Grey

From left to right the shades are:

Dove, Chestnut, Zorba, Pug, Brunette, Cookie Dough, Chocolate and Stone Grey

From left to right the shades are:

Sandstone, Bronze, Autumn, Spice, Wholemeal, Sepia, Muddy and Nightfall

From left to right the shades are:

Tawny, Ground Brown, Toasty, Immaculate, Teddy, Cocoa, Bistre and Blackest

In terms of pigmentation, quality of the eye shadows and application, this is a better palette compared to the Flawless Matte, so if you are unsure of which one to try then I would recommend this one. I am so impressed with how amazing the pigmentation is, I literally cannot get over it! They blend and apply so easily without crumbling or any fallout and they don't crease or fade when used with a base. I can definitely see myself using this one regularly. This is by far one of my favourite palettes in my collection.

For the tutorial, after applying an eyelid primer, I am actually using a black pencil liner base instead of white. This is going to increase the intensity of the shadows on the lid and create a more dramatic look, one that a white liner won't achieve.

Pat the shade 'Bronze' all over the lid to cover the black.

Use a precise brush to trace the crease with 'Blackest' and blend until you get the desired smoky effect. Blend it more intensely towards the outer corners and then take a cotton bud dampened with makeup remover and create a sharp edge against the outer corner. Use a blending brush to blend out the edges into a triangular shape. Pat some of the black right on the outer quarter of the lid and use the fluffy brush to blend until you get your desired smoky effect.

Highlight under the brow bone with 'Flawless' and dot this shade in the inner corner.

On the inner half of the lid, pat the shade 'Light Caramel' on top of the bronze shade and blend until you get a gradient of colour.

On the lower lash line, trace the inner half with 'Light Caramel', the outer half with 'Blackest' and 'Bronze' in the centre of the two shades to create the same gradient as on the lid.
