NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Shadow Palette Paradise Shock

I received this product for free from Influenster and NYX in exchange for my honest review. Though incentivized, my opinion is entirely my own. At first glance, this palette is a wonderful array of neutral shadows. The clear packaging makes it easy to see what is inside for storage and helps one see what the shades are inside when purchasing in a store with no testers. This palette is the warm version, while some shades are absolutely warm, overall it is not overtly warm and has many neutral tone browns as well. This palette swatches decently, the matte shadows feel creamy. I have built-up swatches included in my attached pictures so you can see all the shades on my pale skin tone. On the eyes, it performs okay. I am an eyeshadow snob and I love high impact indie ... MoreI received this product for free from Influenster and NYX in exchange for my honest review.

The clear packaging makes it easy to see what is inside for storage and helps one see what the shades are inside when purchasing in a store with no testers. This palette is the warm version, while some shades are absolutely warm, overall it is not overtly warm and has many neutral tone browns as well. This palette swatches decently, the matte shadows feel creamy. I have built-up swatches included in my attached pictures so you can see all the shades on my pale skin tone. On the eyes, it performs okay. I am an eyeshadow snob and I love high impact indie shimmers. In this palette, the shimmers are very low impact, essentially satins to me. However, this subtle shimmer may be what some look for in their shadows as a more “work-appropriate” shimmer. The mattes are better than the shimmers in my opinion, although I find the mattes over-blend and end up taking up larger space on my lid than I intended, so I have to be very cautious with shadow placement. I did not experience any horrible patchiness, but they did not seem to layer incredibly well. I did not experience any excessive fall-out but I always tap off excess from my brush. It had an average amount of kick-up in the pans. The palette has a good range in shades from very light to very dark. Several shades blend into one another on the eye where it looks like you used one shade when you used several. I believe this is due to the over-blendability of these shadows. This feature again may be a positive for some people who want easy one-and-done eye looks and a fast to distribute and blend out matte placed all over the lid. Although not my favorite palette, I still created some pretty looks which are also attached. I think if someone wants easy everyday neutral-warm shadows with subtle shimmers at drugstore price, this palette may be a good option for them.

Great Matte Formula!!

I was gifted the Paradise Shock Ultimate Palette by Nyx for my honest review.Firstly I love that they've changed the packaging of the Ultimate palettes. The old packaging was clunky and chunky where as the new plastic clam shell is sleek and compact. It's much easier to store and travel with.A set eye base (either eye primer or concealer) is required to get the best from this palette otherwise the shadows don't blend very well.With a set base the mattes blend out beautifully! Really easy to work with and they're very pigmented. Building up the colour was easy to control and I found that I could create colour gradients and layer different shades to create new colours. And that's the same with all the mattes in this palette, it's a very reliable and consistant ... MoreI was gifted the Paradise Shock Ultimate Palette by Nyx for my honest review.Firstly I love that they've changed the packaging of the Ultimate palettes.

And that's the same with all the mattes in this palette, it's a very reliable and consistant formula.The shimmers are nice, they can only be applied with a finger as I couldn't pick them up with a flat brush (dry and wet). They're not the most blinding shimmers, I've definitely used brighter from other Nyx palettes, but you can build up the shine and it does make them very wearable for everyday looks.My only issue really with this palette is the Chartreuse satin matte. I love the actual colour and it does apply to the eye true to what it is in the actual pan. What I hate and I feel this way about satin mattes in general, is the shimmer aspect. I don't like mattes with shimmer, the glitter always rains down my face as I apply them (even when packing the shadow over a sticky base). The shimmer effect in the Chartreuse did last longer than others I'd used in the past, but it still ended up round my under eyes, down my cheeks and in my eyebrows. I just think it would've been better just as a matte shade.The colour story could be tweaked a little as well. I think this palette would benefit from a teal or emerald shimmer rather than the gold with the blue-green reflects which doesn't really pair well with the other shades in this palette.Not a perfect palette hence why 4 stars instead of 5, but I definitely recommend this product just for the mattes alone. I love that I can reach for any matte shade in this palette and I know that it'll apply the same colour as in the pan and the formula won't disappoint.

Great colour

I was kindly gifted the Ultimate 'I know thats bright' eye shadow palette as part of the NYX community.The eye shadow palette comes with 16 bright colours ranging from pinks, oranges to green and blue shades. There are also 4 different shimmer shades too.The palette is easy to store and quite a nice design too.I like to use my fingers when applying eye shadow as well as using a brush. I have been testing the palette out and I like most of the colours. I wouldn't normally use these colours for everyday wear , but more for party wear. The shimmers are nice too, they add that extra sparkles to the eye makeup. The pigmentation is nice and the eye shadow lasts a long time.There are different palette available in different colours too.> vegan> cruelty free> ... MoreI was kindly gifted the Ultimate 'I know thats bright' eye shadow palette as part of the NYX community.The eye shadow palette comes with 16 bright colours ranging from pinks, oranges to green and blue shades.

Great variety of colours

I was happy to receive the Ultimate I Know That’s Bright eyeshadow palette, as a member of the Makeupaddyx Community, in return for my honest review.It has a great packaging design, with a clear lid, so you can see all the lovely bright colours inside. The lid is easy to open and close, and clicks shut, so won’t come open while stored away. This is a 16-pan palette, with a variety of vibrant shades, some matte and some metallic.The eyeshadows are easy to apply, and are highly pigmented, so colour pay off is true to pan. I find there is very little fallout when applying with a brush, but this is easily wiped away.Overall, I love this palette, and will be using similar shades, and equally different shades together to create different looks. I would highly recommend.

No common sense here

I bought the vintage jean baby ultimate color palette as the colors are beautiful and geared towards those who need/want cooler neutrals which are hard to find nowadays. However, upon getting magnifying glasses to read the size 2 font on the label, I was disappointed to find that 5 of the 16 colors are not to be used on the eyes....! In an eyeshadow palette?!?? I don't mind having colors dedicated to the face included, but they should CLEARLY be in a different shape and NOT intermingled within the eyeshadows ! Did this not go through an end-user testing process? Are there no customer safety and risk management people on the team?? There's no rhyme or reason as to why the face pigments are placed in the pan they way the are. Makes no sense. Otherwise, you all ... MoreI bought the vintage jean baby ultimate color palette as the colors are beautiful and geared towards those who need/want cooler neutrals which are hard to find nowadays.

Otherwise, you all should've just used pigments in safe amounts for all colors & let customers use them as they please.

Perfect for festivals!

I received this product in exchange for my honest review on the Make Up Addyx community.I will start by saying I am a neutrals girl through and through so eyeshadow palettes aren't something I often buy. I received the I Know That's Bright pallette ahead of Halloween and was excited to have fun experimenting with the different colours. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance due to a busy work schedule but I have tried out my trusty pink shades and I have fallen in love with glitter again from this set!The shadows pigment SO well. You don't need much to make an impact which makes it perfect for costume or festival looks. The glitters are sparkly but not childish which is always a concern on those shades. I'll be using the green shade for the Six Nations in a few ... MoreI received this product in exchange for my honest review on the Make Up Addyx community.I will start by saying I am a neutrals girl through and through so eyeshadow palettes aren't something I often buy.

Pretty disappointing

I bought this palette for my everyday natural eye look. I was previously using Colourpop "Give It To Me Straight", but I bought that back in 2019 so I needed something new. I have warm toned skin so I prefer warm neutrals. However, I find that a lot of these are neutral leaning cool rather than warm. The only actual warm browns are basically orange. Furthermore, I had absolutely no idea that it was also supposed to be a face palette? I learned that from reading other reviews and was very surprised given the size of the pans. I've used it for a few months and it's FINE, but I would go for Colourpop or Urban Decay for formula and shade accuracy to what's advertised. The shadows are also quite powdery and I hit pan within a few months. I'm already in the market for a ... MoreI bought this palette for my everyday natural eye look.

I've switched back to using my Urban Decay Petite Heat palette which is about 4 years old. This is my first time trying NYX shadows. I don't know if their other palettes are like this, but I would suggest looking elsewhere if you want warm neutrals.

Super pigmented and easy to blend

I was lucky enough tk have been selected by the NYX community to receive this palette free in return for my honest review!What can I say, what's not to love. I already own the Warm Neutrals version of this palette, so knew the quality of the product but these colours just pop.The palette includes such an eclectic range of colours that are all bold, bright and beautiful. They're perfect for when you want to make a statement. These shadows are super pigmented which means you only need the tiniest amount on your brush but it also means they are buildable. The powder itself is very fine and this makes it really easy to blend and means it's so lightweight you don't knkw it's there. I've had great fun trying out different looks and mixing different colours together.
