Hello everyone! Today I am excited to share with you all an eyeshadow palette that I purchased from Turkey! Lately, I have really been enjoying Turkish makeup and cosmetics, and since I love to collect eyeshadow palettes, I really wanted to get my hands on one of them. So, the eyeshadow palette that I will review for you all today is from one of my favorite Turkish cosmetic brands; it is from the brand Golden Rose. This is their Terracotta Sparkle Trio Eyeshadow Palette.
Cost? This eyeshadow palette cost me less than $10 on Amazon.
Ingredients: The full ingredient list is on the packaging and the box that this eyeshadow palette comes in.
Colors: This particular palette has 3 different colors. A light forest lime green color which would be great in the spring. The middle shade is an orange brown shade that you can wear on a daily basis to work or school. The last shade is a blue green shade that would be great in the fall.
Swatch Without Eye Primer
How Do These Eyeshadows Look On The Eyes With Eye Primer?
Light Green Shade
This shade has heavy yellow undertones to it that gives off a strong bronze gold feel. You only see a hint of green in this shade when you swatch it or apply it. When it comes to fallout, this shade has a little bit of fallout, but it was so little that it was not a problem.
Out of all the colors in this eyeshadow palette, this color is my favorite since it suits my skin tone very well.
Middle Orange Shade
This shade is a very glittery shade and it does need to be layered a lot to get good pigmentation and coverage. This shade does have a lot of fallout. There was so much fallout that I had to remove the fallout with a makeup remover wipe. It is for this reason that you should always do your eye makeup first before the rest of your makeup. This saves you time, and you will not remove your foundation and concealer this way if the eyeshadow is messy to apply.
One thing that I did not like about this eyeshadow palette is that this shade was hard to get to because there is much less of it compared to the other two colors; there is only a very thin strip of this shade, so I do not recommend using your finger to apply this shade because it is easy to pick up and mix this shade with the other two next to it. I wish that Golden Rose had given a more equal amount of this shade, especially since this shade is the one that most people will reach for the most for everyday wear.
When it comes to pigmentation when swatching this shade, all you see is glitter; you do not see the bronze gold color that it is supposed to be, so in this way, it looks more like an eyeshadow topper, rather than an eyeshadow. However, when you apply this shade with an eye primer, it looks pretty and the bronze gold color shows through it.
Lastly, this shade did not always pick up on my eyeshadow brush. I really had to dig into the shadow with the brush to pick it up, and even then, it sometimes did not pick up any product. I think this happened because the eyeshadows are not soft to the touch in the palette, so the brush hairs can not pick them up easily.
Dark Turquoise Shade
This glittery shade is not as pretty swatched as it is in the packaging, but when paired with an eye primer, it is very very pigmented. You will need very little of this shade when used with an eye primer.
In terms of fallout, there is little fallout with this shade, which is good. Out of the three eyeshadows in this eyeshadow palette, this shade is the one with the best formula.
Formula/Appearance
The way these eyeshadows look in the palette is not how they look when you swatch or apply them. The color does not look nice or pretty when swatched or when applied without eye primer, but when you apply the eyeshadows on the eye with an eye primer, they look more like they do in the palette. The colors look beautiful when applied this way.
In terms of photography, without eye primer, these eyeshadows do not photograph well. In bright lighting, these colors look very light and muted. They do look darker and more pigmented in darker lighting, in everyday lighting, and when paired with an eye primer.
How Do These Eyeshadows Feel? This is something that is odd about these eyeshadows. Generally, eyeshadows feel powdery soft to the touch, but these eyeshadows actually feel hard to the touch in the palette. Once on the fingers though, they have more of an oily feel to them, rather than a powdery feel, but they do not hurt or feel hard when applying them to the eye.
Final Thoughts
I was surprised by this eyeshadow palette. I expected more from it since it is from a Turkish brand that I love, and which I have bought many great cosmetics from. Golden Rose products are usually a hit for me, but this one is a fail. The quality could have been better.
The eyeshadows in this palette look unappealing, and they do not look very flattering on camera without eye primer. As a general rule, any eyeshadow that does not show much color, or which looks bad on camera when worn alone without eye primer is not considered the best quality.
Furthermore, one of the eyeshadows could not always get picked up on a makeup brush. Thus, given these things, I do not recommend this particular eyeshadow palette by Golden Rose, so this one does not meet my high standards 😐.
