Hello,
I have another FlowerKnows palette, first one did not impress me. Pigment was there but shades did not impress me hopefully this one will be better suited for me.
This beauty is
FlowerKnows Midsummer Fairytales eye palette in
Hazel Fawn. It looked neutral and I pretty much always go for the neutral tones. It looked like a safe bet.
Details are again 3D and very beautiful, full of bows and fairies. I also love the magnetic closure.
When opened the neutral shades reveal. All but the middle shades are matte, middle is sparkly one. What surprised me is the similarity of the two brown tones. I hoped for one shade being lighter or at least with a cooler undertone.
I start at the top with the ivory one, on my swatch it is barely visible but applied with the brush it is pigmented and pretty obvious, I love to use it as a matte highlighter.
To the right is deeper and warm toned brown, it leans pretty orange.
Bottom one is soft black. Very dark and pigmented, lovely for a liner or filling in my brows (they are naturally black).
Last brown is also very warm but a bit lighter and slightly more orange toned.
Last two swatches are from the shimmery middle shade. I like that it isn't warm or gold but more taupe, if applied heavy there is slight base color but I like it sheer like it is on the last swatch more dab dab so the shimmer is the vocal point of my look.
I find this palette pretty basic, matte inner corner highlighter, brown for all over the lid, black for lining and brow filler. I am glad that they included the sparkly shade since this one transforms all of my looks and don't make it looking that basic.
I like the palette but it isn't that impressive. Pigment and ability to blend are there but shades are a bit basic and also not up to my taste (I prefer cool tones).
I think I should really stop buying FlowerKnows palettes unless they release one cool toned palette with taupe shades.
Thank you for reading and have a nice day
