    I swear I’m not lazy but the thought of unscrewing and rescrewing all of those lids is my reason for passing on buying them. There’s gotta be a still protective yet easier packaging form.

    • @matildaonvideo
      @matildaonvideo  10 месяцев назад +62

      A slightly higher, less rounded lid probably would've done the trick! The current design can be tricky to grip properly so it doesn't feel very inclusive unfortunately 😔 (Thinking of Rare Beauty's packaging that was designed with makeup lovers with arthritis or disabilities in mind) x

    I have been SO looking forward to your review of this. I went to Sephora and almost ALL of the colors were sold out, which I was so happy to see for them! I still managed to find a rogue unit of Studio and Midcentury, which I thought were perfect for my skin tone. (Vachetta was a bit too yellow, and Brun was beautiful, but I'll probably get that one later.) You're right, the biggest thing to note is the learning curve with the packaging. They are very hard to open and I would have preferred a stick version, to be honest!

    • @matildaonvideo
      @matildaonvideo  10 месяцев назад +2

      Luckily I'm not fussed by expiry dates at all, and most of my products over the years have lasted well beyond the suggested date if I keep the lid closed tightly, use with clean hands, don't share etc, even from the 'clean' beauty world. Just in case that helps! But I know the approach with expiry dates is always going to be a personal call 👍 x

      Thank you for watching Jensie! As I mention in the video, Studio isn't a true grey taupe at all - it has much more caramel/rosy warmth so it doesn't look like a match for Ash unfortunately.

A couple questions: you mentioned you usually use the Nars eye premier whenever you put on eye makeup, would you still recommend it for before applying the solo eye shadow?

      Thank you Cris! So glad you enjoyed it 🥰 I think Solo Shadow works best on its own - I mention briefly in the video that I think it's better without primer. It creased a lot more (and faster) on me when I applied NARS first, so I stopped using it and the results were suddenly so much better! As for washing brushes... I need to do it more often haha. For face brushes, I like using a tiny bit of my shampoo, and for eyeshadow brushes, I use a mini Beautyblender Blendercleanser Solid. A handy Sephora points perk once! x

    Always love your swatches - truly the best around! Much like their lipsticks, none of these colors are really speaking to me! Maybe it’s a skin tone difference? The navy and deepest brown are pretty but may look like bruises on me! 😂 Still a beautiful launch though!!

    The deep brown and blue are so patchy with either finger or it’s brush . I tried to use them as eyeliners and founded that their colour are way too sheer.
