[productsample/affiliate] Wow – my initial impression of the HUDA neon palettes was that they’re so bright! That’s true for the exterior (I mean, it’s hard to lose sight of in the palette pile) but the inside is surprisingly wearable.
As I suspected might happen, the top row greens, which look colour accurate in this picture, skew yellow in every other. So, commit this one to memory as we proceed. The green row is the one I might struggle with in terms of wearability – they’re not shades I’d wear as clothes or accessories so I can’t see them featuring on my lids
This brand uses a lot of one particular formulation – a kind of powder-cream fine sparkle that are a nightmare to swatch. They are like mini-constellations in the wear though – an explosion of shimmer and twinkle that often come out differently than you’d expect. For example, the first pan on the second row looks like it will veer to a pinkish shade but in fact, it’s a multi-colour iridescent, mermaidy kind of finish. The deeper colour third in the row turns into a pale blue and pink star burst.

So, it seems to me that this variant of the Neon palettes (Green Obsessions) from HUDA Beauty is the perfect festival palette but thereafter, I’m not sure. It’s for the beauty brave but the pay-off is spectacular.
I’m not doing it justice I know. I think it’s one to see in person but if you like a lot of shimmer and twinkle you won’t be disappointed. It’s £27 HERE non aff HERE.

Blimey bright yellow eyeshadow…..I went in for that in 1972 and was sent home from school very swftly. No idea why it was wrong when any other colour was OK! (Of course, it *did* look atrocious on me)
There’s a very flash Huda section in my local department store but it scares me silly, as it’s always covered in young Kardashian-type schoolgirls in false eyelashes and school uniforms (clearly a theme here)
Great review, thank you
