First up is the Acid Palette from the Makeup Revolution Redemption Palettes with some stronger than expected pigment on some shades and lighter, more pastel hues for others. If you’re going for yellow or orange I’d recommend a primer first to hold it while you build, but otherwise there are so many spring looks to be had from this.
Loving the payoff and mix of shimmer and matte in Iconic 1.
Iconic 2 also has moments of high sheen!
There’s a much more pink/rose gold tone to Iconic 3.
The shades are all very buildable. I’ve put one of them to the test in wearing and it absolutely wears fine – I automatically use a primer so I would always advise that.
This is the palette that I think has the best shades – there’s no getting away from the fact that the three Iconics are as near to dupes of the Naked Palettes that I’ve seen and at £4 the price difference is phenomenal. You aren’t going to get the same quality, but it’s not far off.. and I mean really not far off. With the lighter shades, you have to work a little harder to get the pay-off and that’s about all the obvious difference there is. You really do have to ditch the sponge applicators though and use a good brush to get the best.
Makeup Revolution is HERE and the Redemption Palettes are what I think will sell out first, so if you’re going, go soon.

These are all gorgeous! I can’t believe the retail for £4 each. I think I need them all.

I love the look of the acid palette but I’m always a bit afraid of colour. I was really impressed by your review of the iconic palettes as they do look so similar to the naked palettes…I think a purchase may be in order!
This looks very like MUA. Is it the same people? I have been looked for a matte dusky rose shadow and I think that romance palette has what I’m looking for though 😀
They all look so lovely 🙂

Dear Jane, thank you for the great quality swatches. As always, very informative, interesting and helpful. Would you please check the 3rd image from the top entitled “Iconic 1”? It may not correspond to the swatches below in the 4th image. I may be wrong. Lots of love xx
you may be absolutely right.. you have no idea what a muddle I got into!! xx
Hi Jane, yes Julia’s right – the images labelled ‘Iconic 1’ and ‘Iconic 2’ both show the same palette just from different angles (presumably this is the Iconic 2 palette judging from the swatches) so you don’t actually have a picture of Iconic 1 in this post. Hopefully you could substitute the correct image in? I can totally understand how confusing it must be swatching and photographing so many very similar palettes!
It’s nearly driven me mad – and this is attempt No.2 – one of the problems is that the two are very close in colour and once on the computer, really hard to tell the difference. I guess I will have to give it go No.3 and then give up if I can’t get it right!
Have just ordered Iconic 3 and Romance – couldn’t resist at these crazy prices!
Ooh a four pound palette? I’m sold. Never heard of these before but they’re definitely on my radar now. Xx
