Video: KleanColor All About Me 24 Palette Review

KleanKolor makes this All About Me 24 palette in 2 palettes: X-Factor and Bombshell, which is the one being reviewed here.

Pros:

• Wide colour selection
• Varying shades of grey which can be used as crease colours or for smokey eyes
• Some shades have great pigmentation
• Not too shimmery or metallic for those who don't like too much shimmer
• Nice smooth, powdery almost satiny finish

Cons:

• Layer coating the shadows appears metallic which is misleading because as far as I'm concerned, the shadows have an almost-matte finish
• Not all shades have great pigmentation with some needing several applications to get the shade in the pan
• No true black, darkest shade, though it looks black, is somewhat a charcoal grey
• No darker brown which would serve as a crease shade for darker skin tones or for smokey eyes

Overall, it is a decent palette that offers a wide variety of colours with which a variety of looks can be achieved. From muted golds and browns to bright pinks and oranges and greens to varying shades of grey, both colourful and smokey eye looks can be achieved with this palette.

The biggest problem with this palette which I feel is important when deciding whether to purchase this palette is that the coating or the first layer of the eye shadows appears metallic. However, once this layer is worn off and you get to the ''actual'' shadow, (see picture on the left) and the finish is more in the direction of matte, not at all metallic in my opinion.
The problem with this is that those looking for metallic shadows might purchase this palette and be disappointed whereas those that like that powdery-satin finish to their eye shadows might not purchase this palette because it appears metallic or shiny. They won't know the actual finish unless they swatch it.

Personally, I would have preferred a mix of finishes. I would have loved some true metallics in there along with some true mattes for the palette to be truly versatile.

On the KleanColor website, this palette retails for $4.99 (US Dollars
