Lorac Nude Necessities Review

I was so excited when I saw this new Lorac Palette come out. I love neutral eyeshadows so this was like a dream come true. And I adore Lorac eyeshadows, in fact my favorite eyeshadow palette of all time is the Mega Pro 2! But this is honestly the most disappointing product I've ever purchased...

The first time I tried it I knew I wasn't going to like it. The pigmentation isn't good at all. You have to layer and layer and layer, but if you're going to pay for a high end makeup palette you shouldn't be layering and layering and layering. You can't really tell in pictures, or even in person when you first look at the colors, but so many of them look the same!! The last two rows all blend into one color and you can't tell them apart. The shimmery shades do swatch pretty decently but when you do blend them with other shades you can't even tell you put a shimmery shade.

I did try these a few times all with different primers to see if that would make a difference, it didn't. Below I swatched a few of them and you can even see how unevenly some of them show up. And see what I mean about the colors being WAY too similar? I then looked at the back of the packaging and I saw that the palette was made in China and that made a lot of sense. That's why it was only $30 and not the greatest quality. Lorac is such a great brand so I'm not too sure as to why they decided to bring out this palette. If they really wanted it they should have made it the same quality as the other ones and just raise the price. What's the point of selling something cheap if a lot of people will return it, I know I will.
