Avon True Color For the Love of Makeup Artist Palette

New to Avon is the Avon True Color For the Love of Makeup Artist Palette and retails for $24.99 on sale from $30. This palette contains 30 eyeshadows, 5 lip glosses, 3 blushes, 2 highlights and a contour powder. 

Avon True Color Makeup Artist Palette

Before we talk makeup, let's get into the packaging. I really like it! It is compact, great for travel, sleek and sturdy. It also contains a nice sized mirror which can always come in handy in this time of all in one palette. It also comes with 3 applicators which are kind of useless if you ask me, I have become accustomed to my own brushes but to each their own. It also contains a clear plastic sheet, which I also could do without. I like for shades to have names but I'd rather just go without if they are going to be on an annoying insert. That being said, it comes perforated so you can rip it off - which I did.

As you can see of the 30 eyeshadows there are only a few duds. The blues surprisingly performed well, and THAT GOLD! Oddly enough, the neutrals that you would expect to be the best were a little bit of a let down. Like most palettes, the shimmers/metallics perform better than the mattes.

The face products are good. As I have come to expect with most face palettes, they could have a better shade range to suit my NC 42/43 skin. The contour is cool toned which I like, then there is a warmer shade that could be for bronzing. The highlight lacks some punch and shimmer. I understand that it can't work for 100% of people but I just find palettes always lean pale. That being said, they are soft and there are no chunks of glitter. 

 Avon True Color For the Love of Makeup Artist Palette Lip Glosses

The lip glosses are quite sheer, which I don't mind, I actually prefer. They have decent lasting power on the lips but it isn't like I'm going to take this palette on the go to touch up. If it was up to me I could do without lip products in any palette, unless it is a mini I can take on the go.

For this look I used the gold shade (couldn't resist), with some of the pinks and browns in the crease. I also made use of the pink and orange blush, bronzer and lip glosses. I felt it all had good wear time on my skin, I used an eye primer because I have no choice with my oily lids. 

Overall, I like this palette. If you are true makeup junkie, have stacks of palettes collecting dust this may not be for you. I think if you are new to makeup, want to play around with colour, or have something compact for travel this is good. This only thing holding me back from really like this is the lack of great neutrals for transition and crease shades.
