Fuschia Dramatise Palette review | Beauty
12:00
Hey everyone!
Before I start I am not the biggest fan of Fuschia. I like to give the benefit of the doubt with every brand so I did go into this as if I had never used any of their products before.
I was gifted the Fuschia Dramatise eye shadow palette at a recent event and as an eye shadow lover I was curious to see if it would work out.
I was surprised at how disappointed I was in the quality. Maybe it's because I have been using high end brands for the last few years. Surely that can't be an excuse though?. I want to explain my reasons as I feel bad giving negative feedback but I have to be honest so here it goes!
The shadows are highly pigmented but they are like chalk. When you sweep the brush across the pan a lot of product transfers onto the brush. (Check out the picture below). That normally wouldn't upset me but even after tapping the excess off the brush you are still left with fall out on the face after applying the shadow!
Every crumble means waste for me and for €25 a palette you wouldn't last long before hitting the bottom of the pan!
In conclusion, if they added some matte shades and did something with the formula to make the shadows less cakey then I would happily repurchase. Until then, this one is going into storage.
What do you think? Do you like Fuschia products? Or do you have any tips to help me get the most out of the palette?

No identity
The palette came no information other than the company name and palette name.
There is nothing available on line to indicate if the shadows have a name or number to identify the colour. There is nothing to tell you the weight of each pan so you can't even see if you really are getting value for money.
Single pans are €5.50 each and this palette is €25 for 7 shades VS other brands.
Chalk away!

Smoky eyes are a no no for this palette!
Even though I like the colours there isn't a huge amount you can do with the shades that are there. Ideally in a palette I would like to have the choice of at least two mattes so I can create a decent smoky eye. None of that going on here, you wouldn't even get a transition colour.
For non make up people, the transition shade goes into crease and helps when blending the darkest colour in a smoky eye look. It is not recommended to have anything other than matte with maybe a tiny amount of sparkle in the crease.
Look at the pictures below. It should help you see why shimmer isn't the best option in the crease. The blending is shocking. I know I know, that's my own fault but you try blend a shimmer into the crease!
