A Must Have? Makeup For Ever Technicolor Limited Edition Palette

A palette of beautiful, highly pigmented colors. Available at Sephora it retails for $50.00. A good addition to any collection and if you're not bold enough to create a complete look with them, they can still make great accent shades.













Now the palette is kind of small for the price but like I said, they are very pigmented and of good quality. The reason I personally hesitated when I saw and swatched the colors are the yellow, the green and the white. I don't think I would have any use for them but I'm still on the fence about it since except for the Yellow Beige which is iridescent, all the other shadows are matte.

Decisions, decisions...

Update (April 10th)

See in the comments section below, Tavia's comment about this palette. She writes:

"I really wanted this palette right from the moment I found out about it. I called the MUFE store and talked to a one of the make up artists there that I know well, but luckily (I used to find out later why) it wasn't available just yet. Later on when I read the reviews, I was disappointed by the quality of some of the eyeshadows because only less than half of them have a good quality, making most of them being only OK or terrible so I turned back from the idea of buying it. Also my friend from MUFE told me I'd better get something else instead. "

Based on this, my decision has been taken. I will not purchase it. From what I could tell when I swatched the colors they "seemed" of good quality. Now swatching and wearing an entire day are two different things and since I've been having issues recently with eyeshadow performance, I will rely on Tavia's information.

Thanks Tavia!

Thank you Tavia for this. As you can see I've updated and made my decision! :)

Oh, I don't know if I should be happy or not that you based your decision on my opinion, but I'm definitely surprised and impressed. :) I believe Temptalia has also a detailed review about this palette and she qualified it as a D+ palette if I'm not mistaken. The brown shade has the best quality from the entire palette, but swatching them is not enough. Packing on the color was quite difficult, the shades look a bit powdery to me and I couldn't build up the color. That's only my experience with this palette as I was allowed to test it at the MUFE studio and I also received the info from a couple of make-up artists that the colors are not that long-lasting and they may fade away in a few hours. I think there's also a difference on how you swatch it, because usually in the stores like Sephora you can swatch the colors with your fingers and not with brushes all the time (at least in my country is like this) so the color can look more pigmented when you use your fingers than when you'll use brushes.

Oh Tavia please be happy! The reason I took your information to the letter is the comments of your insider information. I guess I should have been more specific. I know from experience that not all colors from a brand are created equal. In the case of this palette, I swatched them quickly with both my fingers and with a brush and they seemed nice on my hand but of course it's not the same as applying on the eyes. I was also more concentrated on the green shade I ended up buying. I was already on the fence about and your information tipped me towards the no. :)

Glad I stopped by! I was curious about this palette, but if it's just so so .. then I'll pass on it.
