Makeup Revolution - Ultra 32 Shade Eyeshadow Palette FLAWLESS Review
Today I'm reviewing Makeup Revolution's Ultra 32 Shade Eyeshadow Palette in FLAWLESS.
For those of you who don't know, Makeup Revolution is a fairly new affordable makeup brand from the UK but their products have quality regardless of the cheap price.
Their prices range from £1 to £12 and they tend to create dupes of expensive brands such as Too Faced.
This palette is actually the second one that I've purchased from Makeup Revolution and is definitely my favorite at the moment.
Price: £8
Contains: 32 eye shadows (a mix of shimmery and matte)
Packaging:
One thing I love about this palette is the huge mirror which is great when you're on the go and want to top up your eyeshadow. The palette contains a range of different colours from golds, blues, browns and pinks. There are a lot of shades to play around with and because the colours aren't so wild it can be used day to day to create natural looks to evening outs.

The palatte comes in this beautiful shiney box with the colours of the eyeshadows on the back in their exact order. I personally find that the shades on the box don't really match the ones in the actual palatte, some seem darker on the package than they are and some of the colours are just slightly off.
If you have a Superdrug near you I definitely recommend looking at their tester to get a better feel for the colours in the palette.
The actual case that the palette is made of looks very professional and is extremely sturdy. A bit too sturdy at times because mine is quite a challenge to get open and I'm worried I might damage my nail polish opening it.
Additionally, the front of the case doesn't say 'FLAWLESS', only 'ULTRA EYESHADOWS' which when you buy more from the Ultra Eyeshadows range can get confusing.
Luckily they put the name at the bottom of the palette on the sticker.

The eye shadows do have names and when you first open your palette there's a plastic sheet containing them, making it really easy to make a tutorial for them!
Swatches:
In order: Paper, Soft Glow, Buff, Highlite, Angel, Unlimited, Brew, Silver Smoke
In this row the only matte colour is Paper which is a light yellowy peach shade, as you can see though it's almost not even visible compared to the shimmery shades. Soft glow is another hard to see shade, however the last six are very pigmented! I absolutely love Angel and Brew.
I have one comment to say about Highlite, the eyeshadow itself was so soft it kind of broke in to my finger as I was touching it to swatch it, I'm not sure if this is just happening in mine but it seems to be a very delicate shade in general.
In order: Almost there, Uncover, Barely Pink, Lowlite, Golden Night, Gold Digger, Cheerless, Blue Stars.
This row has two mattes, Almost there and Uncover, and one shade which is in between a matte and a shimmer (Barely Pink). Again the mattes aren't up to much, however Almost there is dark enough to have some uses and is a nice light coffee colour. Uncover and Barely Pink is like Paper and they aren't really pigmented.
The shimmers though are beautiful and there is a real nice range of golds in this palette which is really great. Golden Night and Gold Digger are just such beautiful shades and are so pigmented!
I am not so keen on the colour Cheerless, it's basically a gray with a slight tint of purple but it's not really my thing. Blue Stars in the palette looks a lot more blue than when placed on the skin, it is kind of a dark gray tinted blue.
In order: Smudge, Shimmer Heart, Universal, Copper Shimmer, Medal, Darkest Shimmer, Tarnish, Black Tie
Smudge is the only matte in this row and basically looks identical to Almost there from the previous row. The three golden shimmers in this row though are very pigmented and gorgeous (Universal, Copper Shimmer, Medal), the two next to them, Darkest Shimmer and Tarnish, look like dark chocolate browns in the palette but I'm not really liking Tarnish.
Black Tie is quite a unique shade, it's the only shade in the palette with actual pieces of glitter in it, apart from that though it's not really a shade for me personally. It's very pigmented though if you are one for black eyeshadows.
In order: Pure Chocolate, Raw, Red Night, Molton Chocolate, Burgandy Nights, GreenStars, Cafe Noir, Night.
There are four mattes in this row, Pure Chocolate, Raw, Cafe Noir and Night. Cafe Noir has some decent pigmentation but Raw is almost not visible and pure chocolate is a nice shade but somewhat weak. Night is just a pure black.
This is definetly my favorite row however, I love the red tint that most of the colours have, I'm loving Red Night, Molton Chocolate and Burgandy Nights.
GreenStars is a khaki colour, again not my thing but it's quite dark and pigmented.
Final Impressions:
I really think this is a brilliant palette for the money, if you're one for shimmers, particularly in warm shades, then this palette is definitely for you. If you're more for mattes, I don't recommend this palette for you, however Makeup Revolution have released a completely matte version of this palette called '32 Shade Eyeshadow Palette FLAWLESS MATTE'. It does have different shades so definitely look that one up.
There is some fallout in the shimmers but I don't find it too bad. The pigmentation in most of the shades is great and it has such a range of different shades for many types of looks.
Rating: 4/5
