This palette has excellent quality comparable to Cosmic Beauty and Oden's Eye, but with a twist it uses a bit more natural ingredient, Kaolin. The black color far exceeds Natasha Denona black and has a better quality of shadow than hers. The best shadow in the palette is We, a light-toned crème color. If you are near that shade in your complexion, it actually serves as an inner corner concealer; it covers up dark circles. I wish that she would make a powder concealer of this eyeshadow and make it in all the shades that are needed for complexion concealers. This would be something you could use to blend shadows, conceal, and make a nice transition where under eye powder sometimes can't make. I have dry skin, but this powder eyeshadow does not accentuate dryness, under-eye lines, or texture. Just Bravo! Keep it going, Anjelica, because this formula can go a long way. In regard to the style and shade range of this palette, I can only say that it does resemble her previous work with other companies but never dupes, so if you have all the other collaboration palettes, this one is not the same. It suits my olive undertone and does not make my eye look dull or uncoordinated like other brands dark teals and greens do. The best blue to green eyeshadows on the market currently. Shimmers are nice, not texturizing; they do the indie job; however, I can't compare them to any brand except Adept, but even so, they are similar in smoothness, but not the same in reflection or undertones. The palette is worth the purchase and tax if you are drawn to the color story.
Galactic Visitor Palette
The pallet arrived on time, considering the weather. Pallet was packaged and protected well. The packaging and pallet are soft touch matte + sturdy.
Shadows were intact and pristine. The mirror is protected with a plastic sheet from the shadows, which is easy to remove or just leave on.
The shadows themselves are easy to work with, soft, blendable, buildable and smooth!! I adore the blues so much, they are pigmented and you can sheer them out as you need to, especially the shimmers.
There's nothing missing in this pallet for me. It's what I expected and wanted it to be. Thank you very much!!!
Fine for the price. Not quite my perfect color story, but I knew that when purchasing.
I am not as adventurous as Angie when it comes to eyeshadow. This palette is very on-brand for the creator, very bright, colorful and creative. I love that it has both cool and warm tones. I have very fair skin with neutral undertones so I can swing both ways.
However, I don't know where to start if I just have Galactic Visitor in front of me. I need to start with a neutral color in my crease as a base and go from there. I love adding a colorful shadow liner or a funky iridescent topper, but here's where my problem is: I wear glasses, and I have hooded, deep-set eyes. Not much real estate to work with. So to start, "We" and "In" are too light, while "Peace" and "Cow Girl" are too dark for a starter shade. With my glasses and pale skin, very dark shadows are giving Michael Myers, not vamp. And If I use "Sol", "Hoodoos" "Saucer" or "Orbit" in my crease, I feel like I'm committing to a color right off the bat and I don't want that. I am missing a neutral light brown that can function as the foundation that can take me anywhere. Okay, so now that is out of the way, here is what I love: everything else. The mattes are pigmented and very blendable, and I love love love the way the shimmers work. "Milky Way" is my favorite, it's like a sophisticated scattered holographic glitter if you use a brush and it's a little more dense but equally beautiful if you apply it with a finger. I had zero problems with fallout, and the size of the palette is perfect. And as a solution to the problem I have created I can just use the brown I always use and use Galactic Visitor as my pops of color. Currentoly I'm wearing "Infinity" as a graphic liner and it is still exactly where I put it hours ago.
