Anastasia Beverly Hills // Subculture Palette Review

If you've read my Palette Review on the Modern Renaissance palette then you already know my love for it. There has been a lot of controversy over Subculture this past year. I really wasn't sure if I even wanted to buy this palette, but I couldn't pass it up over the color layout. What people say about the fall-out is very true, but the only time it has been a huge issue for me was when I didn't tap the excess product off my brush good enough. These are super powdery like the rumors say, but in my opinion I think it was exaggerated a tad. The shadows in Modern Renaissance are powdery too. Maybe not as bad as this palette, but it's not a huge difference. The pigmentation is there again for Anastasia Beverly Hills! The opaqueness of these shadows is unreal. A little goes a very very long way. That is after tapping off excess. The only letdown this palette has for me is the blendability. Other beauty influencers have mentioned this issue, but what a lot of them don't mention is that with practice, you can still achieve flawless looks, as you can with the Modern Renaissance. I feel a lot of people used this once and gave up. I understand that you don't want to spend $40+ on a eye palette that takes a little while longer blending than others, but for these shades and pigment it's worth it to me! I've been playing with this palette for a few months now and although I don't love it as much as Modern Renaissance, it's still very close.

Overall, this may not last as long as a Naked palette or Too Faced palette because of how much fall-out there is when tapping into the pans and that is a bummer, but like I said I've been trying this out for three months now. You can see below I have not hit pan like many claimed they did after one use! Just remember to tap lightly into your pans. The blending issues are a huge deal for me. I have to make sure I have the extra time when getting ready to spend on a little extra blending, but I love the out come. I've gotten better and better with each look I've created as I went.

This palette comes with 14 shades. 11 ultra-mattes (roxy, dawn, destiny, fudge, new wave, untamed, all star, mercury, edge, rowdy, & axis), 1 metallic (adorn), & 2 duo-chrome (cube & electric).

This palette is a 8/10 for me!

Subculture is $42.00. You can find it on ABH, Ulta, & Sephora!
