I can't remember exactly when BeautyBay released this palette but I do remember that it was sold out for ages before I was actually able to bag it and cart it out. The makeup world as I see it is now distinctly shattered between all-nude ladies and editorial gals and I must admit that I, as always, have still not been able to position myself in one category or the other. 

But then again - why should I distort my creative soul to fit it in a box when makeup is one of the most accepted ways for humans to practice art day after day?

BeautyBay | Everything You Need Bright Matte 42 Eyeshadow Palette

As much as I disliked the shimmer shades from BeautyBay - that my demanding self would have hoped more metallic, I loved the mattes at first swatch.

The Bright Matte 42 palette is a success as much in terms of color display and pigmentation and to this day, I still use this palette very often on photoshoots. It is a dream come true for any watercolor lover person as a simple mixing medium can get the eyeshadows waterproof, allowing you to layer the colors.

Everything is in the Bright Matte 42, from the famous black to the transition shades and the brighter yellows that we've all seemed to be craving at some point last year - I am not even going to talk about this year. However, lockdown is soon to finish a little bit everywhere, and hopefully, as life goes back to normal and without any indelicacy on my part, people will want to create on their faces again before going out with friends again.
