Subculture eye shadow palette

Product Information

There was something about the texture of the matte eyeshadows that resulted in inconsistent application and poor interactions between the shades within the palette. If you have ever taken a matte eyeshadow and applied it over bare skin that still had a bit of still-damp moisturizer or some natural oil from the skin itself and seen it darken slightly in places, these seemed to be particularly prone to that (and that is not something I've experienced too often with the brand's products) but curiously, this happened even over more silicone-based eyeshadow primers, which typically yield a very smooth base. This type of application can mean that one day, everything is easy and looks great, and the next, it's quite challenging to produce a quality look. I’m also curious about the other cases of drama you believe started here (as implied in saying “as often the case”)?

Editor's Note: Based on using this palette more than probably any other palette I've used in the last 5 years, there were no significant changes made except for Cube, which became particularly worse with continued use, which dropped raw rating to 82.4%, which dropped the averages to 7.5/9.5/8/8/4 for the palette as a whole.

I also timed each spending between eight and ten minutes per eye, as I wanted to put in some effort but also not be unrealistic and spend 45 minutes trying to perfect every edge. I used Smith 253 (three of them) to apply each shade to the lid–Rowdy (inner lid), New Wave (middle of lid), Axis (outer lid). I used the Smith 253 slightly angled and on its side to drag Axis into the crease but used a large, domed eyeshadow brush ( Tom Ford 11) to blend. I used a fluffy crease brush ( Hakuhodo J142) to apply Dawn above the crease. I used a fluffy blending brush ( Hakuhodo J5523) to apply Burberry Trench eyeshadow (discontinued) as a brow bone highlighter but was careful not to use it to “help” anything along (Dawn is just too dark for a brow bone highlight on me!). I used a small, domed eyeshadow brush ( Zoeva 237) to apply Electric to the inner tear duct and lower lash line (for the look with Viseart, I substituted Make Up For Ever 4 Frozen Green). The lower lash line is Marc Jacobs Beauty Whirl(pool) Matte Highliner. However, the shimmers wear decently. And with a primer, I was able to get Adorn to last just about the whole day.

The second failed attempt consisted of Edge on the inner lid, New Wave on the middle of the lid, Roxy on the outer lid, Fudge in the crease, and Rowdy in the deep crease/outer lid, and where it all went wrong was when I applied Fudge in the crease, because it gave me a cut crease and refused to diffuse and blend with the lid colors (which had all blended beautifully together!). The last attempt that managed to work decently was the third look above (with All Star all over the lid). The very first look I did (the day I got my palette) came together with ease and gave me no problems at all (except Cube).

I also felt that using Electric dry was superior to using it damp. At first glance, it looks weird— a bit unusual from all the neutrals and warm shadows we’re used to. But after a few more encounters, strangely our perspective changes. First of all, thanks for the crazy in-depth review. You are always on point, but you really outdid yourself here 🙂 Editor’s Note: Based on using this palette more than probably any other palette I’ve used in the last 5 years, there were no significant changes made except for Cube, which became particularly worse with continued use, which dropped raw rating to 82.4%, which dropped the averages to 7.5/9.5/8/8/4 for the palette as a whole. I have only added edits where applicable but left the original review intact. I didn’t expect to buy this controversial palette (long after the drama died down), but I caved so here is my take on it.

I have Mod Ren and Norvina, and am probably going to cave on Sultry and get it because there’s just enough happening there on the cooler side that while some of the more common shades, I can dupe, there’s a few I can’t, and I know I’d use them. But ModRen is pretty, and I’ve had it for awhile, nothing bad to say about it other than I’m finding it’s too seasonal for me (summer only, otherwise it’s just too warm for me here in our dark winter season). I may eventually buy the single of Buon Fresco, because I have nothing like it and do love pulling it into cool, grey-based smoky looks. Subculture shadows blend terribly! The formula of these make it look like I don’t know how to apply eyeshadow. They do not blend out. Best Dupes Of Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Eyeshadow Palette 1. Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup London Chocolate And Mint Eyeshadow Palette 8 Best Dupes Of Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Eyeshadow Palette It actually looks… good! At least that was my experience with Anastasia Beverly Hill’s Subculture Palette . As we inch into fall, I find myself drawn more and more to the colors of this palette.Okay, I just used the Subculture palette. I refuse to believe that is what ABH intended with this palette. I ended up purchasing this palette for half off at Macy’s, but even at that value, this palette still doesn’t meet my expectations. I’ve seen some people use this palette with no problems (I’m envious), but mine performs poorly. The formula is botched. I agree, what a serious work you have out into this review!! Quite amazing and very helpful and soothing compared to all the rage that seems to get channeled through this little palette… Blending: I had no issues at all. They blended like a dream and I was able to create really nice looks from this palette.
