Makeup Revolution London Eyeshadow and Eyebrow Palette- Make Believe

I am literally obsessed with this brand. But then what do I do?! They have great quality products at such affordable rates! And add to that the pretty packaging and the fancy names. What is not to love? I have got one drawer full of Makeup Revolution products. So, expect lot more posts on the same.

I had mentioned on my Instagaram that I will soon review an eyeshadow and eyebrow palette from Makeup Revolution. Well!! It has been quite a while since then. I had bought it from Jabong a while back and have been using it quite a lot since then. It is called Make Believe Awesome eyeshadow and eyebrow palette. They have another palette in the same line. It is called “Sticks and Stones”. The colors are almost similar, Make Believe being a little brighter though.

Price: Rs 990 (or 4 pounds in UK). I got it on offer for Rs. 519.75
Jabong ALWAYS comes with offers every now and then. So, keep an eye for that.
You can buy it here: Jabong

Packaging: Firstly, I love how light, sleek and compact it is. Easy to carry and travel with. The packaging is pretty standard- black plastic box with a magnetic flap which shuts tightly. The front is mostly see-through from where you can see all the 16 colors in there. The back has the ingredient list, expiry date and all the necessary details. It comes with two small brushes: an angled brush which can be used for shaping the brows and a sponge tip eyeshadow applicator.

Shades: This palette contains mostly shimmery eyeshadows with just one matt color. It also has an eyebrow kit-one dark brown brow color and one lighter shade which is almost skin color.

1st column: top to bottom
1. shimmery light pink color
2. Shimmery silver(almost white) color
3. Shimmery violet color
4. Matt magenta color
5. Shimmery forest green color
6. Shimmery grey color
7. Shimmery molten gold color- it feels like a foil shadow. My favourite color of all.

2nd column (top to bottom)
1. Shimmery champagne-y pink color
2. Shimmery silver-purple color- it has light hint of purple.
3. Shimmery cobalt blue color
4. Shimmery reddish-copper color
5. Shimmery mehendi color
6. Shimmery electric blue color
7. Shimmery black color

Brow kit:
Left to right: Skin color shade, Dark brown shade

Performance:
Texture: Almost all the eyeshadows have a buttery texture. They are shimmery and not glittery and some of them feel like foil eyeshadows which ofcourse is incredible. They are really soft and blend like a dream with no fallout at all! Also, I didn’t find them creasing.

Color Payoff: All the colors are highly pigmented.

Staying Power: They have a pretty good staying power and stay for around 6 hours without a primer and then start to fade away. Though, with a primer they can last the whole day.

Eyebrow kit usage: I use the darker shade in the eyebrow kit for filling and shaping my brows and for blending out the other colors. I also, use it for contouring purpose. It is a pretty good match for me and I think it will suit most Indians skin tones. The lighter color can be used under the eyebrows for highlighting them. I also use it for merging the colors on eyes and even for lightening the shades if I end up going heavy handed with the dark colors. I also tried using it to set my concealer and YES it did well in that department as well. Since it has pretty strong yellow undertones, it works well for setting the under eye concealer.

The eyeshadow brush is alright, nothing special, however, I quite like the eyebrow brush. It is small and makes the whole process of eyebrow grooming pretty fast and convenient.

Final verdict: If you are looking for a palette for parties and functions then go ahead with this one. It is a complete palette with almost every color you would need for your party makeup with the multi-purpose eyebrow kit. You will not need to carry 10 other things, just the basic stuff. It will keep your bag light and your pocket happy.

Rating: 4.5/5 I am deducting 0.5 because it doesn’t have a mirror. We always need one in every palette.

Few looks I created using this palette:

Makeup Revolution London Salvation Velvet Lip Lacquer - Keep Lying for you

Since the time, Makeup Revolution London has been launched, they have come out with so many amazing products at pretty affordable rates. Lot of these have been considered dupes for many high-end brands. I have tried few of their products and have loved all of them. This time I went ahead with Salvation Velvet Lip Lacquer which they have launched in various shades and most of them are quite bold.

Price: I have an issue here. Jabong has priced them at Rs.700 for 2ml product while the MRP mentioned on the product is Rs.460 (inclusive of all taxes). All the Makeup Revolution products are imported by Kanvar Corporation in Delhi. So, why are these being sold at a rate much higher than its MRP?
I got it on offer for Rs.236

Packaging: It comes in a pretty rose gold cardboard packaging which has all the necessary details like the ingredient list, expiry date etc. The tube is very light weight and comes with a doe-foot applicator.

My View: Firstly, I absolutely love the quirky names. They have named most of their products like this. This shows that they are putting in so much effort into each product. The one that I bought is called “Keep Lying for you”. It is a deep, dark purple color which is apt for such a name and is also perfect for the winters.

These are liquid lipsticks which dry out matte. Now, these are said to be the dupes for Lime crime velvetines, though I myself, have never used them. These are highly pigmented, spread very easily and take few seconds to set. Once set, it doesn’t budge at all. The finish is powdery matte and the best part about these velvet lacquers is that although they are matte they are still not drying like most of the matte lipsticks. That being said, never wear any matte lip product on chapped lips. It would look horrible. Prior to using this I always scrub and moisturize my lips. These lacquers feel really light on lips and it feels like you haven’t applied anything. Also, these do not transfer and last for about 7-8 hours with just a little fading, without a meal. It also survives a meal easily.

The only issue I have with them is that while drying some of it always gets onto my teeth. I always see some powder on my teeth. You can even see it in the picture below. So, make sure you clean your teeth after applying these. Other than this, I love how these are bold, matte yet non drying and brighten up my face instantly. When I wear it I don't have to worry about any touch ups throughout the day.

Final Verdict: If you love bold lips, you MUST try these. These are super affordable and most of the times Jabong has them on offer. So, keep checking out the site.

Review: Makeup Revolution The ONE foundation in shade 9

What do you look in for a perfect foundation?
1. Great shade range?
2. Natural finish?
3. Long staying?

Makeup Revolution The ONE foundation is all of this and so much more.

As you all know I have super oily, highly sensitive and acne prone skin. So, I like my foundations to be light and natural looking. While everyone has been going gaga over so many Makeup Revolution makeup products, I could hardly find any detailed review online about this foundation. The fact that people compare it with a lot of high end brands made me want to try it. So, ahead I went and ordered this bad boy which had been lying in my shopping cart for 2 months now.

What does the brand say?
Makeup Revolution London-the ONE foundation:
* Revolutionary fusion technology
* Adapts to skin tone and texture
* Full coverage
* Buildable
* Matte finish

First thing first, you cannot help but notice the vast color selection they have-right from the palest to the darkest shades, you are bound to find a color that would suit your skin tone. They have a total of 16 shades (01 being the palest and 16 being the darkest).
I have a fair complexion with strong yellow undertones. I was eyeing the shade 7 for the longest time and somehow at the last moment better sense prevailed and I ended up ordering the shade number 9. I would advise you to go through the swatches carefully and always compare the darker shades and see if any of those match you better than the one you have selected.

Price: Rs. 760 for 29ml product. This retails for 4 Pounds in UK, so it should have been priced at around Rs. 400 or say Rs. 500, but they have priced it at Rs. 760 which is almost double of what it is available for in UK. I think this defeats the whole purpose of coming out with affordable makeup which this brand is targeting!! Guys if you are listening, kindly work on the price. Although the packaging is really small, but it will last you a long time since a little goes a long way. Also, I am happy that I will be able to finish it up.

Ingredient List: Aqua, cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone, isododecane, vinyl dimethicone/methicone, silsequioxane crosspolymer, isododecane (and) acrylates/ polytrimethylsiloxymeth acrylate copolymer, PEG-10 dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane (and) ethylhexyl palmitate (and) quaternium-90 bentonite (and) propylene carbonate, magnesium sulphate, phenoxyethanol (and) ethylexylglycerin, tocopheryl acetate, BHA
May contain: titanium dioxide (Cl 77891), iron oxides(Cl 77491), iron oxides (Cl 77492), iron oxides (Cl 77499)

Packaging: The product comes in a black and golden cardboard box with the ingredient list and all the other details embossed in golden color. The actually product is in a plain opaque plastic bottle which has a nozzle to dispense the product. The nozzle is covered with a screw-on black cap. The bottle is itself in skin color and has just the brand and product name written in black on one side, while on the other side is pasted the shade number. The packaging and texture is very similar to MAC Face & Body foundation. I find the packaging to be the best for this texture and very fuss free and travel friendly as well.

Texture: The foundation is very runny. It is advised to shake the bottle well before every use. I once forgot to do it and out came very heterogeneous product. When you shake the bottle, you can feel how runny the foundation is!! It is almost as runny as water-OK may be a little less. Be careful while pouring it on your hands as it can run down if you take out too much. Also, it smells a little medicinal to me, although nothing bothersome as the smell doesn’t linger.

Finish: The foundation feels very lightweight and has a very natural satiny finish. I like the fact that this is not overtly matte but very natural. It feels very silky and smooth to apply and is very easy to blend. I use my fingers to apply this as I feel it is the best way to use it. Since it is so easy to work with it is my go-to foundation to use when I am in hurry. It almost feels like nothing on your skin but makes it look so much better in a very natural way. The fact that this is pretty sheer to start with, means one shade can suit quite a lot of skin tones. I need 2 drops on each cheek and 2-3 drops for the rest of the face. It can cling to the dry patches on your face so make sure to exfoliate and moisturize your face before applying it. Oily skin girls can opt for a light moisturizer with this as this is also little moisturising. The dry skinned beauties must moisturize heavily before using this else it would look patchy on them.

The swatch looks so dark but when applied on face this adapts to your natural color.

Coverage: The brand says it is a full coverage foundation; however, I would like to disagree. The foundation has a sheer to medium coverage which can be built up. Even when you layer it up it does not get cakey at all. This is the perfect foundation for the “good skin days”. It does not cover up any acne marks, although it can cover up light blemishes and the redness. You would need a separate concealer, if you would like to conceal the acne marks.

Staying power: It stayed on my very oily skin for a good 5-6 hours outdoors (no AC) without any touch up. I am sure it would do much better in an air conditioned environment. The fact that it did not make my already oily skin oilier is a huge plus for me as most of the foundations end up doing that. When I came back I could see that the foundation had faded but my face still looked fresh and not very oily, but glowy. I dabbed a dry tissue all over my face to soak the excess oil and I looked completely fresh again. Also, it does not oxidise at all.

Final verdict: I highly recommend this. Since, the day I have tried this I am addicted to it and go back to it again & again. It has replaced my much loved Lakme Mousse foundation as this looks more natural and is so much lighter. I want to get this in a darker shade that I can use for contouring as well.
