Review of Makeup Revolution Iconic Pro 2 Palette

Hello my lovelies. Hope you all are doing great. Today I will be reviewing Iconic Pro 2 Palette from Makeup Revolution. I recently did a haul from this brand and let me tell you this is my new found love. I ordered from their site and had to pay for shipping and customs. But it was so worth it. I got a number of palettes from them and I will review each of them in separate blogs. 

Makeup Revolution are known for making dupes of high end products at an affordable cost. The iconic pro palettes are said to be inspired from Lorac Pro palettes. But since I don't own the Lorac one I won't be able to tell the difference. Now jumping to the review. The product comes in a rose golden/bronze golden glossy package. The name of the product is boldly written on top and it has a small sticker on the upper right side of the package which shows the color of the eyeshadows inside. The product is designed and developed in London, Uk. The product is manufactured in PRC.

Front Side Of The Package

On the back side of the package the company claims are written which goes like this: The NEW SUPER-ELITE FORMULATION of eyeshadows. More impact, easy to blend, soft and butter-like application, to create the super-elite performance eye looks. Teamed with our Makeup Revolution PRO 1989 Double-ended Eyeshadow Brush.

The product weights 16g and has one year of shelf life. However I can't see any manufacturing date which is strange because it's not possible for people like me ,who buy too many cosmetics, to remember the month in which I made the purchase.

Back Side Of The Package

 The ingredients are mentioned on the side of the package.

Ingredients

Once you open the package you get the eyeshadow palette. The lid is black in color and has matte finish which looks classy. The packaging is sturdy which means you can carry it around. The front side of the palette mentions ICONIC PRO which is confusing if you don't keep the outer box. It's only when you turn the palette around that you get to know the number of the palette. The Iconic Pro comes in 3 shades which are 1, 2 & 3. I only have the palette 2 so no worries for me. Once you open the lid you find a transparent plastic sheet on which the shades name are given. Again if you lose the sheet there is no way you can know the name of shade unless you check in internet. The best part is it comes with a built-in mirror which is very handy. Also it has double ended brush which gives a decent finishing in case you don't a different eyeshadow brush. One side of the brush has flat end to apply the eyeshadow while the other end is fluffier to blend the colors.

The Eyeshadows In The Palette, The Double-Ended Brush and The Mirror

The palette is arranged in two parts. The upper slot has the matte eyeshadows while the lower slot has the shimmery eyeshadows. I tried them without primer and with primer. In both the cases the pigmentation was more or less good. Yes some of them were not so pigmented while others were highly pigmented.

The Matte Eyeshadows (Upper Slot WITHOUT Primer)

From Left to Right: Paper, Chase, Smooth, New-Tral, One Way, New Rules, Grey Day & Sudden. Like I said these are matte shades and are very pigmented. The first four shades go well together to create a neutral look. One Way and Sudden are highly pigmented and my favourite in the Upper slot while New Rules and Grey Day are a little difficult to work with.

The Matte Eyeshadows (Upper Slot WITH Primer)

Once I used primer and applied them the colors looked brighter and more beautiful. Even the shades that did not show up that good without primer looked prettier when applied over the primer.

Now let's move on to the shimmery eyeshadows.

The Shimmery Eyeshadows (Lower Slot WITHOUT Primer)

From Left to Right: Only, Silk, Awaken, New Day, Steal-Er, Echo, Ambition, Faith. Just like the matte shades, the shimmery shades are nicely pigmented. Only and Silk look similar but there is a slight difference. Only looks like white shimmers and Silk looks like cream shimmers. You can clearly tell the difference when you look at the palette. Awaken and New Day looks very pretty on the eyes. You can also apply them over eyeliners to give a bold effect. Steal-er and echo are also beautiful shades but I have not created any look using them as of now. Ambition and Faith are my favourite in the lower slot. The look gorgeous and I just love the colors. 

The Shimmery Eyeshadows (Lower Slot WITH Primer)

When applied over the primer the colors pop up really well. Also the staying power of all the eyeshadows are commendable.

All the eyeshadows apply like dream. Given the price I can't complain on their pigmentation. A few misses are always there in ever palette no matter which brand you purchase. Same goes for this one. The price of this palette is £6.99 which is a cheap bargain. I got this palette on 30% off during a promotional offer. To be honest I didn't mind if I had to pay even a little more as I loved each product that I got in the haul. I definitely recommend this palette. It will add beauty to your stash.

I didn't add a picture of my haul in the beginning. So here it is.
