LORAC PRO PALETTE REVIEW



Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share a review of one of my most-used and abused eyeshadow palette lately, the LORAC Pro Palette. It took me quite a while before getting this product. But as the hype goes on and on about this palette and I have been reading a lot of good reviews about it, I know that it will be a great investment for my professional kit so I had to pick it up. I got this from Beautyholic Manila for Php2, 600.00 aprox $57.77


After playing around with it for almost a month, I wanted to share my own thoughts about this palette. I use this for my clients and even for myself and I have to say that it is one of my favorite palettes that I have in my collection. Let's take a good look of this palette!

Let's start first with the packaging.






This palette has a rubberized slim black packaging the same with NARS cosmetics blushers. It has a large mirror in it that is enough to be usable. The palette is quite thin and travel-friendly; it has a magnetic closure, and comes with mini 0.17 oz Lorac Behind the Scene eyeshadow primer. Eyeshadows are named properly and very useful if you're going to make a tutorial using this palette.

Now, let's take a good look of each eyeshadow shades.


This Lorac Pro palette has 16 shadows mixed of matte and frosted shades which I like in a palette. Top row has matte finish bottom row has semi-frosted finish. These shadows are very pigmented and easy to work with. It feels buttery when you swatch it and colors are very easy to blend.




This palette is one of the most versatile palettes I've ever worked with. Besides the amazing quality, the color selection/finishes are pretty awesome. Other people find that Lorac Pro somehow similar with Naked palette but If you love matte eye shadows and neutral palettes like I do then this Lorac Pro is for you!

Let me show you swatches of each eyeshadow color.




My fave shades in this palette are: Sable, Garnet, Taupe, Mauve, Deep Purple and Pewter and Nude.

So, over all I love this palette more than my Naked 1 & 2. I can create a lot of different looks with this palette. If you want variety of colors and finishes you may want to check this palette out.

Here is an example of "smokey eye look" that I created for my client using Lorac Pro palette. Colors used: Black - Espresso - Sable - Taupe- Cream


Let me also show you some of my creations using this palette.



I hope you find this review helpful the fact that I know there are tons of reviews out there. Hope you had a great day and till my next post!
