I have to say.. I love watching your videos because you're so articulate. You have well-rounded thoughts and express your opinions without rambling or losing focus. The words that you use have value because you're not parroting what every other beauty guru is saying. And that TECHNIQUE gurl 🙌 You've really refined your makeup skills since I first started watching you. You've always been good but now GURL
Thank you so much!!!!!! I appreciate your feedback, Marlee. I feel that I’m drowning in the seas of beauty gurus, and to have someone notice that I still have value means a ton!!! Thank you ✨🙏🏽
Yessssss thank you for reviewing this palette! I really wanted to see if there much of a difference on your skin tone for some of those shadows on the lighter side of the palette. These shades looked great on you :) also thank you for following her guide for your review! I’ve been trying to find a video showing the specific looks outlined by Charlotte, but most people are jumping around and picking their own colors to make a look (which is obviously fine, but is missing part of the design of the palette). Definitely picking this one up!
Absolutely! I might film another video showing how I would use the palette. I think when following her guide, the neutral looks appear similar, but if you bounce around a bit, you can create more distinction. I will say, that her matte formula is great: it’s user friendly and mistake friendly.
Hi am old enough to be your mama. I love you girl. I really do. You always cheer me up no end. You make me laugh" that is rare thing for me " from the bottom of my heart. Watching you is a Pleasure.. you are very talented genuine very straight to the point. ( I purchased all of Sonia G after watching your videos ) ☺️I agree with all the beautiful comments what others say about you. God bless you in every step and thank you so much for your time and effort for helping us. This is my first ever ever comment on YT. Lots of love from UK 💞
You're one of my favorite channels. Any time I am having a bad day I watch one of your videos and it always puts me in a good mood. You have the best energy. Thanks.
Thank you! I still need to use it extensively, but figured out a few things: The shades appear similar when blended together. Today I applied the day matte all over to make the eyes look more distinctly red brown. It worked! I definitely need to apply the mattes by themselves to bring out the true hue of that shade. These shadows are very beginner friendly. They’re creamy, and I feel easy to deal with. I have to step out of the picture sometimes, and say that not all shadow has to be crazy pigmented. Some ppl just want light washes of color. This is a little more than that, but it has breathing room.
This is the video we all wanted to see! These pallets are confusing to me because of the order she asks you to use. I am not sure about the shimmer shades in the crease or as a "smoke" shade. It is so helpful to see them in action and all of them were gorgeous on you. I was honestly surprised at how much I loved them. I of course already purchased, because I got problems, so I am happy now to have it coming. You always help me to justify my addiction and I appreciate it! You da best, man!
Hooray!!! Yes I was curious about her use of shimmers, but I was happy to discover that they blended easily and definitely enhanced the look and do not make it appear messy.
Get thee behind me, Lucifer. I successfully avoided this at Sephora. Dont know how much that was a triumph of self-control considering the palettes I collected last year. I luuuurve your new series where you use your Pat palettes to show new looks! Love, love, love! Keeping my fingers crossed re the Sephora thing for you!
Great review! I’ve seen this covered in other videos but you put a unique spin on it that was quite helpful. Especially the Stars in Your Eyes and Pat MGrath comparisons because I have all of those. Thank you! 💚
I weakened at the knees, featured on countless beauty RUclipsrs lately, and ended up buying it. Another eyeshadow palette, so I thought at the time. Boy was I wrong. My goodness, I really believe that this could be my favorite all time eyeshadow palette. Not just from my CT range, but even from my Pat McGrath and Natasha Denona eyeshadow collection. Yeap, that’s right. I am even tempted to buy another palette, that is how much I love it. Now I need a few of those lipglosses. It’s going to be in my top draw, everyday go to palette.
I got this on cyber monday and I know I'm late to the game here, but this palette is amazing! Thanks for sharing your looks, I'm gonna copy you :) wish me luck! lol
The quads are okay, I think they are sheer. I like this palette format, but her eye crayons are my favorite for oily lids, and 6 hours may be 3 on crease prone lids. This seems like a nice nude palette, I may go play with this at Sephora this week! Thanks for the lovely demo!
Love u I saw this palette love it from first look although I'm more into Natasha's denonan got all her palettes yet this one is so unique definitely getting it and your review is the best so happy to have you in my life love you and alllllll your videos ❤❤❤❤💗💗💗
UGH you’re so frickin TALENTED 🤩 this is a really beautiful palette .... I’m skipping it tho cuz I’m literally WHITE KNUCKLING IT until I can get my hands on ABH riviera omgomgomg
i LOVE your video! I think I need to subscribe!! Just found you thru this palette, which i am really digging, and your channel, which I am digging. Good night for me.
Exceptional looks. And I love how you had a little fun putting it on lips, cheeks, etc. Great idea and looked good! What I love about CT products is the emphasis on making you look prettier. I have her Dolce Vita quad and I always get compliments on how healthy or pretty I look with it on. Seems to me, that the color combos in this palette all work together to achieve that pretty look. And thank you for the full on use of the blue. That was the color I had most interest in. Its her first true blue color I can remember seeing in any of her palettes.
I agree!!! I do appreciate that focus to enhance instead of change completely. I’ve been using the mattes by themselves, and I love the soft smokey look they create!
Hi Alicia 🌟 You always create beautiful looks. I was excited about this palette but idk I’m interested in an all shimmering shadow palette. Maybe if I see it in person.
I have the CT Instant Eyelook palette and I LOVE how her palettes are edited and laid out. Honestly they are a complete no brainer and whenever I want a classy, put-together eye look with subtle shimmer that doesn't look glittery or cheap, I reach for CT. I like that this palette is a bit more colorful and a better value for money (since you get the same number of looks for $10 less) and I love the glam rock/bowie-esque design of the palette.
Love your video's your lighting is right on and you really do get up close so we can see so many try but fail. I finally ordered this palette all good reviews only one bad one and she don't count.
I am always so excited to see your multiple look videos! And odd compliment of the day, but I think your hands are beautiful! I'm a crummy art kid so I always want to draw features I find interesting about people, and your hands would be good hands to draw! And probably any contortions or fitness poses, I think I'll break out my pencils again soon. IF I CAN'T DO CONTORTIONS I'LL DRAW IT (poorly)
So I just found your channel and immediately subscribed!😍 You are amazing and so fun to watch! you're sassy and funny and I just LOVE your energy! I cannot wait to binge watch your channel for more tutorials, and to get to know you!! 😄 Your technique is insanely incredible too!! So so so glad I found your channel!!! You're stunningly GORGEOUS BTW! 😊🤗💄
Thank you very much for doing all 4 looks. Please keep up excellent job in your tutorials. My CT Icons palette is at the moment at Custom office so I cannot comment on this one but I have all of CT quads as well as The Stars in Your Eyes and the first 12 shades Instant Eye palette - CT addict, let say. All shades in The Icons palette can be used wet, according to web site and some tutorials and get the similar effect as with her cream shadows (so-called Eyes to mesmerize). Will see when I get the palette. Quads are more subtle and have 4th so-called pop shade, usually the beautiful one (sort of top coat). The Stars in Your Eyes was the first one with lot of very shimmery eyeshadows and I do not like this one at all. (I am very pale and I can be your mother so subtle shine is all I want and can handle). CT usually uses the smoke shade to smudge the eyeliner, which she uses a lot in her tutorials. She also sells very specific Eye smugger brush, IMHO the only one of her brushes which is worth having, although any smudging brush can do the job. I often use the smoke shade instead of eyeliner, sometimes enhance shade if this one is shimmery. This could look very nice on your beautiful big eyes with lot of lid space. Mentioning CT brushes her Eye Blender Brush is very big and fluffy (reminds to MAC 224 but fluffier), which allows putting only a hint of the ES, if desired. With 12 shades palette some of the eyeshadows can be used as pop shade (like you used the green in the Disco eyes), if someone wants it. And so on.
Thank you for the tips, Vera!!! I’m always interested in the techniques that are used by the makeup artist who created the brand. And since I don’t know much about CT, this was helpful! I have Dolce Vita, and felt I needed more to play with. But I understand how it’s great for an individual who wants something that is easy to use, and not overwhelming with crazy color.
Great review! I've got a similar skin tone to you so when I pick the product up some time this month, I'll let you know how I went with the Smokey shades
Love all the eye looks, especially the Disco, I didn't know I needed that palette, I was on the fence with this one, because I have 2 of the quads and the glitter seem chunky to me. The swatches look totally different from the quads.
I love this palette the way you've showed it!!! I've been eyeing it since the other day. Here we go again making unnecessary purchases.... But I thought it would be a nice travel palette. You look gorgeous though. 😍💙💜 But when I heard you say not as great as Momma Pat's...😜🙌
The staying power is something Mama Pat has nailed!!! I’m figuring out how to increase the longevity of these shadows! I wet them, and layered today, so I’ll report back!!!
#earlynotification. 🙌🙌🙌love this so glad you are going to do all 4 looks. I like the colors. But for me, I can’t do a ton of shimmers )being all mature and all. Ha ha) so spending that I can’t justify. So I’ll live thru you. Ha ha love your videos always
Don't be afraid of the shimmers! I'm 57 and use them all the time, especially Pat McGrath's new palettes and get compliments all the time. No surgery, just great brushes and I follow tutorials like Alicia's for fresh ideas I tune to my eyes sometimes not and I do them exact. Go for it!
:) Ouuu Niiccce!! Can you get some samples from sephora and do a full face? Their line is calling me, but I want to see some first looks before I spluurge.
CT blushes are very beautiful and very pigmented, most of them with slight shine. My favorite is Ecstasy but I have to be very light handed, First Love is my go to. Pillow Talk blush is also very nice. There are actually 2 blushes in one “nipple” compact (“swish & pop”), so can be combined or use only one of them. The Magic foundation is full coverage and the best for combination and oily skin, perhaps also normal skin (I cannot use this foundation, too drying for my very dry skin, I also do not want full coverage). My favorite foundation is Light Wonder - this is light to medium dewy foundation, definitely NOT for oily and combination skin but wonderful for dry mature skin. The best would be to try samples, of course.
Yay!!! I love them, as I was also looking for earrings like these at the time. Glitter limes! www.glitterlimes.com/collections/all-earrings/products/lightningbolt-earrings
I started with The Stars In Your Eyes palette and i liked the formula , now i have 2 quads (Pillow Talk and Dolce Vita) and ofcourse The Icon palette had to join as well. The palettes are a great way to test the waters, since the quads are quite pricey. I love combining Charlotte Tilburry with Pat McGrath eyeshadows , the first has easy everyday shades but lacks deeper shades...while Pat is more out there but lacks mattes that are light enough for me (NC15). Together they are perfect.
I bought this bc I wanted to try her formula but couldn’t do 4 for $53. I love this. I was weary of all the shimmer and those mattes are satin/mattes in my opinion but my eye looks have been stunning every time!
Here from the future this pallet is on sale so I wanted to see your opinion (as well as Michelle Wang, Mel and Wayne) before deciding to buy this; I just ordered it, thanks!
Hahaha! I saw that this was available, also! I think you get the more bang for your buck from Charlotte, compared to her quads. The eyeshadows are super easy to use, and blend themselves. The two “mattes” are more satin, and look skin like with a sheen on the lids. If you love these shades (copper, rose gold, bronze) then this palette has it. With the inclusion of the green, blue, and black.
Loving those earrings. I actually thought I was going to pass on this palette ... now I don’t know... I feel perhaps I have these colors as well. I am also a deeper skin tone ...😳Is the formula really worth it?
Wow these shadows are so soft and beautiful looking on your skin..Really stunning on you!! Do you always use Mac fix plus or have you ever used just water to wet the brush? Just curious.. I thought it would be too shimmery but it looks stunning... thanks for a solid and fun review..of course! You are always a fun lady to hang out with! :)
I have got to stop watching your videos..LOL. You sold me on Pat McGrath and I swore up and down I wouldn't spend $125+ on her..but I did and Im glad I did. 😀. Her shadows are so worth it and now Charlotte Tilbury another one I said I may pass on (but she was on my mind). So now I'm going to Sephora website and put this in my cart. Hahahaha..I'm just gonna face it I have an eyeshadow addiction. Cant wait for the next video.
Wheeeewps!!!! 🤣💸 I didn’t think I would love this palette. The shadows are so user friendly, and makes for great one and done looks! On days that we can’t commit to Mama Pat, with have Auntie Charlotte 🤪
Yes i think that's what appeale to me. You can put the look on and be done so quickly. Its a winner you sold me on it. Keep the videos coming so I can get inspired for looks. With the Pat series you just did you opened my eyes to more looks with her palette. Thank you for all you do. 💜
all of these look gorgeous on you. but ahhh well at least i'm saving myself $100 by not buying this, I thought I wanted it but after watching Michele Wong's video and now yours there's definitely not enough difference in colour for me, I feel I'd only really use the blue, black an green shades.
I understand! I’ve been applying the mattes on their own and I see the color distinction better. I’m going to use it all week. I do think it’s very user friendly, and great for someone who is not comfortable blending. The mattes are super easy to maneuver around, and the texture allows for mistakes, without major repercussions 🤣
@@aliciaarcher I would be interested to see what you think of it a week on. I think what attracted me the most originally was the number of shadows for the $$, it seemed like a great deal in comparison to the pricing for her quads and people have been saying that the formula is interesting. I don't have any of her quads, just 1 of her instant look palettes which have 3 eye shadows and I use that alot when travelling.
I thought they looked very similiar , besides the blue ,,, I like her shadows but am never blown away by them ,, I returned stars in your eyes , kept pillow talk , it’s ok
I am having serious brow envy... damn girl those brows could cut a bitch... I really appreciate this video, I was thinking about this palette and this gave me a MUCH better idea of what to expect and frankly I am probably gonna skip it, I have too many dupes in my stash and $65 is too much for just that blue column... all the looks were so pretty on you!
Thank you so much! And my brow game improved, thank goodness 🤪 I agree! It’s not a must, and you can definitely dupe these shades. The texture is fantastic, but if you’re already happy with your collection then it’s not necessary.
Blue eye, yellow earrings... DEAD 😍
🤣🤣🤣 It’s a color combo we cannot live without!!! Thank you 🤗⚡️💙

Even tho I watched this already cus I watch everything u film lol it just came in my beautylish lucky bag so getting some inspo!
your headscarf suits you so well, like it was made for you, the colours and with the stripes, so cool!
Thank you! This was from Lush Cosmetics. They don’t have this pattern anymore, so I’m happy I grabbed when I did!
Oh thank goodness! I couldnt decide on this palette, I needed to see you use it and your opinion! Always a pleasure to see a video by you. :)
Thank you! I still need to use it extensively, but figured out a few things:
The shades appear similar when blended together. Today I applied the day matte all over to make the eyes look more distinctly red brown. It worked! I definitely need to apply the mattes by themselves to bring out the true hue of that shade.
These shadows are very beginner friendly. They’re creamy, and I feel easy to deal with. I have to step out of the picture sometimes, and say that not all shadow has to be crazy pigmented. Some ppl just want light washes of color. This is a little more than that, but it has breathing room.
How am I just finding you? TOO CUTE!!! I just ordered my icon palette---cant wait to receive it. I will refer back to this video to use it! THANKS!
Love those looks! You’re so talented and witty! You brighten my day! 😘👏👏👏👏
The best video of this palette!!! I bought this too, it’s so creamy and dreamy, Love it!
I freaking love you! You make me laugh so hard... love that I get a fantastic review always with lots of humor.

i LOVE your video! I think I need to subscribe!! Just found you thru this palette, which i am really digging, and your channel, which I am digging. Good night for me.
Exceptional looks. And I love how you had a little fun putting it on lips, cheeks, etc. Great idea and looked good!
What I love about CT products is the emphasis on making you look prettier. I have her Dolce Vita quad and I always get compliments on how healthy or pretty I look with it on.
Seems to me, that the color combos in this palette all work together to achieve that pretty look.
And thank you for the full on use of the blue. That was the color I had most interest in. Its her first true blue color I can remember seeing in any of her palettes.
I agree!!! I do appreciate that focus to enhance instead of change completely. I’ve been using the mattes by themselves, and I love the soft smokey look they create!
Hi Alicia 🌟
You always create beautiful looks. I was excited about this palette but idk I’m interested in an all shimmering shadow palette. Maybe if I see it in person.

CT blushes are very beautiful and very pigmented, most of them with slight shine. My favorite is Ecstasy but I have to be very light handed, First Love is my go to. Pillow Talk blush is also very nice. There are actually 2 blushes in one “nipple” compact (“swish & pop”), so can be combined or use only one of them. The Magic foundation is full coverage and the best for combination and oily skin, perhaps also normal skin (I cannot use this foundation, too drying for my very dry skin, I also do not want full coverage). My favorite foundation is Light Wonder - this is light to medium dewy foundation, definitely NOT for oily and combination skin but wonderful for dry mature skin. The best would be to try samples, of course.
Thank You!
omg, looking for such earrings for ages, where did you find them? Fantastic looks you did there, like the last one most!!
Yay!!! I love them, as I was also looking for earrings like these at the time. Glitter limes!

I started with The Stars In Your Eyes palette and i liked the formula , now i have 2 quads (Pillow Talk and Dolce Vita) and ofcourse The Icon palette had to join as well. The palettes are a great way to test the waters, since the quads are quite pricey.
I love combining Charlotte Tilburry with Pat McGrath eyeshadows , the first has easy everyday shades but lacks deeper shades...while Pat is more out there but lacks mattes that are light enough for me (NC15). Together they are perfect.
I bought this bc I wanted to try her formula but couldn’t do 4 for $53. I love this. I was weary of all the shimmer and those mattes are satin/mattes in my opinion but my eye looks have been stunning every time!
Hooray! I’m happy to hear that: I am very impressed with the formula. I do wish the staying power was better, but 5 hours isn’t bad.
I have very oily lids so I use a glitter glue with all my shadows. When I do that, it lasts my all day, so 8-10 hours.
Omg I was thinking about getting this! I don’t have any CT anything
It’s a great palette! Very user friendly, and easy to travel with!
Here from the future this pallet is on sale so I wanted to see your opinion (as well as Michelle Wang, Mel and Wayne) before deciding to buy this; I just ordered it, thanks!
Hahaha! I saw that this was available, also! I think you get the more bang for your buck from Charlotte, compared to her quads. The eyeshadows are super easy to use, and blend themselves. The two “mattes” are more satin, and look skin like with a sheen on the lids. If you love these shades (copper, rose gold, bronze) then this palette has it. With the inclusion of the green, blue, and black.
You have the best personality
Thank you so much!!!
Oooooooo!!! LIGHTNIN'!!!😯....😁✌
⚡️⚡️😆⚡️⚡️
Loving those earrings.
I actually thought I was going to pass on this palette ... now I don’t know... I feel perhaps I have these colors as well. I am also a deeper skin tone ...😳Is the formula really worth it?
The formula is great if you’re looking for something foolproof and shiny. They were very easy to work with. I do wish she included a deeper matte.
Wow these shadows are so soft and beautiful looking on your skin..Really stunning on you!!
Do you always use Mac fix plus or have you ever used just water to wet the brush? Just curious..
I thought it would be too shimmery but it looks stunning... thanks for a solid and fun review..of course! You are always a fun lady to hang out with! :)
excellent!!! ❤️
Please do a review on new bronze morphe palette 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😘
Charlotte Tilbury loves her some disco huh!!!!😊
I feel she went to Studio 54 at some point of her life, for sure!!!
@@aliciaarcher Definitely 😄
I don't know where the hell I'll go... maybe Kroger or HEB needs to be my new "disco" because I want that saaxy blue black look on mah face!!!
Dammittt now I need this
💸🙈💸
I have spent a fortune on Sonia G brushes...I blame you!😆
But they will last you a lifetime!!!
I have got to stop watching your videos..LOL. You sold me on Pat McGrath and I swore up and down I wouldn't spend $125+ on her..but I did and Im glad I did. 😀. Her shadows are so worth it and now Charlotte Tilbury another one I said I may pass on (but she was on my mind). So now I'm going to Sephora website and put this in my cart. Hahahaha..I'm just gonna face it I have an eyeshadow addiction. Cant wait for the next video.
Wheeeewps!!!! 🤣💸 I didn’t think I would love this palette. The shadows are so user friendly, and makes for great one and done looks! On days that we can’t commit to Mama Pat, with have Auntie Charlotte 🤪
Yes i think that's what appeale to me. You can put the look on and be done so quickly. Its a winner you sold me on it. Keep the videos coming so I can get inspired for looks. With the Pat series you just did you opened my eyes to more looks with her palette. Thank you for all you do. 💜
The neutral colors seem so similar
They are: and I applied the matte by itself just so I can get more distinction.
You are an amazing talent and I enjoy watching your videos😊keep up the good work!
Thank you, Donna!!!
Don’t own any CT palettes but as always your looks have me thinking I should but then I see the price tag 🏷 and my inner self says it’s a NO
Impulse buy...😂 That is me everyday..
all of these look gorgeous on you. but ahhh well at least i'm saving myself $100 by not buying this, I thought I wanted it but after watching Michele Wong's video and now yours there's definitely not enough difference in colour for me, I feel I'd only really use the blue, black an green shades.
I understand! I’ve been applying the mattes on their own and I see the color distinction better. I’m going to use it all week. I do think it’s very user friendly, and great for someone who is not comfortable blending. The mattes are super easy to maneuver around, and the texture allows for mistakes, without major repercussions 🤣
@@aliciaarcher I would be interested to see what you think of it a week on. I think what attracted me the most originally was the number of shadows for the $$, it seemed like a great deal in comparison to the pricing for her quads and people have been saying that the formula is interesting. I don't have any of her quads, just 1 of her instant look palettes which have 3 eye shadows and I use that alot when travelling.
Siobhan for sure! I would love to film an update ✔️🤗
Wasn't this palette deceiving?!?!?😍😍
It almost went past my radar!!!
And thank you for doing your (I forgot what you call it) special effect. I know you dont like doing as much, but :}
💕🤗💕 Thank you!
I’m the first here 😱 hey giiiirl hey!
Hiiiiiii!!!!! 💕💕🤗💕💕
I thought they looked very similiar , besides the blue ,,, I like her shadows but am never blown away by them ,, I returned stars in your eyes , kept pillow talk , it’s ok
I didn’t event bother with Pillow Talk because I felt it was too light for me. I do love this palette a lot more.
kinkysweat ok I trust your opinion , just ordered 😄
The packaging gives me Bowie vibes..have to admit though checked out the earrings online before the pallette
That it does! And I share those sentiments when I saw the earrings for the first time at the Glitter Limes POP Up!
I am having serious brow envy... damn girl those brows could cut a bitch... I really appreciate this video, I was thinking about this palette and this gave me a MUCH better idea of what to expect and frankly I am probably gonna skip it, I have too many dupes in my stash and $65 is too much for just that blue column... all the looks were so pretty on you!
Thank you so much! And my brow game improved, thank goodness 🤪 I agree! It’s not a must, and you can definitely dupe these shades. The texture is fantastic, but if you’re already happy with your collection then it’s not necessary.
Ur so funny luv ur matchy lighting earring Artemis victoria, singapore
The second and the third look the exact same from the zoomed out version, though
💖🖒💖🖒💖🖒💖🖒🤗
💕🤗💕🤗💕🤗💕
You did such a beautiful job, but, most of the shades look similar. Price tag too much for that .
