The makeup industry is so oversaturated with products at this point like do we really need another warm neutrals palette and more nude lipsticks?
I went through my personal stash yesterday (I’m a former pro artist so I have more makeup than anyone ever needs).
I’ve found MAC/Makeup Geek dupes for every single shade. My Anastasia soft glam palette looks very similar, and there’s a LOT of similarity in my Urban Decay palettes for example.
Charging £43 for one eyeshadow palette when you’re a new brand and it’s not unique? Nah. Not for me thanks. I’m sure her die hard zombies will buy it, but this is just so unoriginal. I don’t believe she spent years on this, I’m sorry.
As for the highlighters, they look CHUNKY as fuck. They look like the pigment would just fall off your brush which is not what you want if it’s a powder. It also looks horrifically sparkly
thought we were over glitter ball cheeks tbh.
Lipsticks again are basic. WHO needs another nude lipstick??? There are HUNDREDS. What warrants hers costing that amount? They’re more expensive than MAC for fuck sake.
I just can’t get over the audacity that she thinks she can charge premium prices when she’s not really demonstrated the potential of the products. It just seems so unlike Jamie that it’s turned me off her even more, which I didn’t think was possible.
May I also just say that her current story of her having to spray her brush with shimmers. Why???? If I’m paying £43 for a palette with shimmers, you best hope I don’t need setting spray to a) prevent fall out or b) intensify. And if you DID need a spray, which again shouldn’t be necessary, WHY didn’t she make one?!?!?! I’m baffled. Completely.
