I bought all the Temu sets as they were so inexpensive and they looked beautiful in the ads. They are even more beautiful in person. I'm glad I took a chance and bought them all.
TBH I have no problem with cheap brands copying the colour choices of more expensive brands, those are colours that are popular or genre specific after all, so why wouldn't they target customers who want cheaper but similar colours to learn watercolour painting. They also don't make unrealistic claims about the product.
I think the Temu just needs more time to activate. With your first set of comparison, you sprayed them and use them first in the second set you use them second which means they got to sit longer and activate. They both are beautiful colors.
Glue the wrappers on a page and swatch the colors below its correspondent wrapper. That way you will have all the info at hand plus the actual swatches. 😉
The metal by the pans is meant to be pinched in so that the pans stay put. Just a tip because i know it can be frustrating when they slide back and forth picking up the pigments
I have been buying Temu and for the price Temu beats the others hands down. I absolutely love the quality. I have been giving it as gifts also and people adore it.
I was shocked at the pigmentation! It’s a gorgeous palette and the Jellyfish color is still my favorite! The intensity and vibrancy of that electric blue had me squeal! ❤❤❤
I love TEMU...I have had 100% success with every order...watercolor is a new medium for me and while I'm learning I won't spend a lot of money on products until my skill level dictates..thanks for not bad mouthing them...I may pick a few of these sets up...
One last thing that would be helpful: expose the sample papers to a few weeks (months?) in bright sun; that will give you a better sense of the pigment quality.
This review has inspired me to start painting again and get back to a more peaceful time in my life. I really appreciate this review and congratulate you on your milestone and wish you with all my heart continued success and here’s to another milestone. ❤️❤️❤️
So happy you will be painting again! It’s very therapeutic to sit and paint whatever comes to your mind, no rules! Just paint! Thank you so much for your continued support. I appreciate it so much!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
It was so great to watch this I am all for buying cheaper versions of items! I would love to see the other three sets swatched I have one of them the ocean one and I’d love to see the other ones thanks so much for all your hard work!
Thank you so much Julie! Aren’t they beautiful?! I have some more watercolor review videos from Temu coming soon! Stay tuned and thank you for being here and your lovely comment! ❤ Cheers!
Lovely and helpful review, thank you! I appreciate how comprehensive, unbiased and relaxed you are. I have a watercolour sketch book that I use for swatches and I stick the little wrappers down with a swatch of the paint next to it for easy reference. Some of the wrappers have the pigment numbers, lightfastness and opacity information so it is helpful to have that all in one book.
This is very helpful....Temu has been hit or miss for me with metallic watercolor sets, but I have learned to avoid a certain "slick" look to the paints as it indicates a less pigmented product. I really appreciate your work on this! I am going to purchase two of those sets.
I’m definitely intrigued to swatch the metallics! Glad the video was helpful and let me know what you think of the palettes when you get them! Thanks for watching! ❤❤❤
the peacock and gold are for undertones. And the semiart paper looks better- that prima paper is just cardstock right? I think they are attempting to appeal also to watercolorists and crafters bc they use traditional wc names. When looking at the tins also think of comparing if the edges are rolled or sharp- and lay flat! Cool comparison. Thanks!
Thank you! That makes sense for the undertones! I love these types of comments because it makes me see things I didn’t think of before! Thank you!! ❤❤❤❤
that peacock blue in the skin palette was random, definitely not burnt ochre colour! maybe it got in there by mistake. But it was a pretty blue anyway. You didnt like the yellow/gold in that set but you might be surprised by a neon yellow in watercolour, Kristy Rice uses it to great effect in her floral paintings :) I like the idea of using the stones in the water jar, sounds cool. I just use a regular sponge like your yellow sponge, cut up into four squares and put one in the bottom of each jar. and i use jars i can fit my whole hand into for easy cleaning. Thanks for the vid its nice to see what you are getting before buying :)
I will have to check out Kristy Rice! Yeah that bright yellow surprised me! Haha! Great idea for the sponge in your jars to clean your brushes off. Thank you for watching!! ❤❤❤❤
Very useful video! Thank you! Yes, I would love to see more comparison videos of Amazon etc watercolors vs Temu watercolors. Just subscribed from Hawaii.
Thank you so much! I will definitely do more in future! If you have a particular palette you’re interested in me reviewing, let me know. Thank you for being here! ❤❤❤❤
RUclips just introduced you, and I’m so glad! Not many videos have demoed the temu paints. This has been very helpful(and entertaining 👏🏼) I subscribed, and will be watching the rest. It would be helpful if they had given us info about lightfastness. Still engaging and helpful. 🙏🖖🤭
Thank you so much Claudette and welcome!! I’m so happy you found the video helpful! ❤ My next video will be using the Temu paints in a few different art projects so stay tuned ❤❤❤
Great review! I bought the Seami Art Ocean and Forest colors about 8 or so months ago from Temu. The packaging is much different, though. Mine is a square, flimsy styrene tray. And it didn't come with a swatch card, so I made my own. The colors look exactly the same, though! It's a nice palette - I love greens and blues. I forget I have it! I need to use it more because the greens would look lovely in the foliage for the floral paintings I love to do.
Thank you! That’s interesting! How much did you pay? Was it $5.48? I know the plastic tray version is also available in addition to the metal palette. I agree the colors were beautiful and went on paper seamlessly. Your paintings sound beautiful!!! I’d love to see!
@@LindsaysCraftCorner Yes, I think it was around that amount that I paid. I didn't know there were two versions! Oh well, lol. I'm not sure if the upgraded version was available at the time I bought mine?
Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed this video. I wonder how the Temu colors blend with each other in an actual painting. Csnt wait to see your thoughts on that. 😊
This was a very very well thought out review. However, I am only beginning my journey into watercolor painting. I thought watching this would be a huge help but I kept getting confused because the names were similar. I had to roll back the video to determine what name was with which brand. I kind of zoned out after a while tbh...sorry. maybe consider putting the brand name at the top on each side would have helped. In any case I will watch more videos your voice and presentation style keeps me interested. I have not looked on playlists but do you have a video with information about your background? You had to have been a teacher. Looking forward to more video. Congratulations on the 1000. Hope you hit 10,000.before years end!
That is awesome feedback! Thank you! I’m beginning too on the watercolor journey! It’s been so much fun! Thank you for the compliment and your sweet remarks! I actually have never been a teacher, but I would have loved to have been an art teacher! I originally wanted to a forensic pathologist but switched in my late twenties wanting something more. It’s been a journey of discovery and loving every minute! Thank you so much for watching!!! ❤❤❤❤
One palette of the Primas costs over €30 where I live. So the cheaper alternatives are def the better choice for me. Especially since I dont make money with my art. Sadly they arent available on T anymore. I hope they will return at some point.
I agree with you! I’ll keep my eyes posted if they come back. They also have loads of other watercolors that are great! ❤ I’ve been accumulating so hopefully I’ll do another video on that soon!
Thank you for the review! If you use the Temu paints in a painting, can you share your thoughts? I would be interested in how they flow and blossom...are they chalky, etc.
I liked this review a lot. You gave great choice to the viewer I guess. I hope you keep up these great reviews. Very relaxed to watch and listen to, maybe it's the voice ;-)
Fantastic review!! Great job. I totally enjoyed. Have you considered testing acrylic paints. Not sure that is necessary but might be a difference in pigment levels.
I understand why people would buy from Temu...they're soooo cheap and a lot of the cheap stuff works ok or well enough. Early on, I ordered a few things from them too. But everyone just needs to fully understand WHY they're as cheap as they are: Someone at the other end of the line is being paid a pittance to churn out all the cheap crap that we Americans love to buy from them and someone or a small biz somewhere else , that's not in China, is (unfairly) losing the profit that they would otherwise get. And it's not just Temu, there are others direct from China sellers who sell questionably produced goods. And because it's China, it is often very difficult to confirm their safety & labor practices. I understand that even Amazon buys and sells from "direct from China" sellers who are not (or cannot be confirmed) that they are abiding by fair labor and safety practices, but they supposedly say they're not. Temu is reportedly the worst of the "direct from China" sellers. It's your business where you buy from, but we all need to be aware of who we're buying from.
Thank you for this comparison video. The SeamiArt prices have increased on TEMU and some pallets are no longer available. When comparing a price of $17.00 to the Prima Watercolor Confections, I think it maybe better to go with the latter. "T's World Of Adult Coloring" swatched the watercolors as well. Her SeamiArt Skin Tones pan did not have the peacock color, so I think that is TEMU's mistake. The Vintage Pastel pallet seemed inconsistent, IMO. Although the colors are the same, their intensity varies between your swatch and T's World Of Adult Coloring's. For example, the third color (blue) of the SeamiArt Vintage Pastel's is so light on T's swatch that it's difficult to see any color. Your swatch has a great deal more pigment. She tried adding more paint but the color saturation did not improve.
Very interesting re: the inconsistencies; how much water you add to the watercolor determines how pigmented the swatch is. You can also build the intensity by working in layers, a.k.a. allowing one layer to dry and then adding a secondary layer and so on.
I have a watercolor notebook where l glue the paper numbers of the watercolors underneath the paint swatches. It helps to keep all my watercolor swatches organized .
I think you could have done a drawing with each palette to compare how they really behave. Only swatching is not enough. Could you do it in a different video, please?
I agree. I don’t usually watch swatching videos. They are not useful and are boring. I’m watching this because I’m interested in the topic. Also this is the first video I’ve watched on this channel. Otherwise when I see swatching in the description I watch something else.
Great video....loved posting the prices at the end. Cost does matter. I have a lot of problems when ordering on Temu. I have received the wrong size paper, (smaller than I paid for), not the correct brushes. I did try two times with Temu but not so sure I trust them anymore.
Thank you so much! I’m sorry that happened to you. There was one time an item didn’t get to me but you can always request a refund on items not received in order, and it gets approved pretty quickly! Thank you for watching! ❤️
Thank you for sharing the pros and cons. But I would suggest in future to put the Tume colors into like order with the higher end paint that way we could see colors side by side. Was will you would know the color Tume brand it inmating.
Thank you! I appreciate the suggestion and I agree! When I was editing I said the same thing to myself lol Will do in future. Thanks for watching! ❤❤❤❤
I am thoroughly confused as I bought the Morandi and Ocean and Forest sets from an American website last year. And they had those exact names. I’ve been using them and I like them. Maybe Temu got a hold of the stock. I’m trying to remember the name of the company, The Artist Life with a picture of an owl.
Wow! You’re right! I just looked them up on theartistlife.com/collections/paints-oils-watercolors-acrylics/products/morandi-inspired-watercolor-set and the same palettes are priced at $48!!! That’s a crazy markup! Not always, but some companies purchase bulk items from china and markup the prices an exorbitant amount to make profit, when in actuality the item you’re paying for retails anywhere from $5-$9.
Makes you wonder where Temu gets their stuff or if it’s vice versa, but either way I have no problem with Temu. I’ve gotten lots of things from them I’m very happy with.
This specific type of watercolor pan, with like the dome shape of the paint is referred to as "cakes" because of how they are made. Half pan, is just the size of the pan itself and not a descriptor of the actual watercolor paint.
Hello! I happen to own the seamiart (temu) complexion set. I think they gave you the wrong color as that’s definitely not burnt ochre. It’s supposed to be a warm mid toned brown 😢 but otherwise it’s a great set to practice with.
@@LindsaysCraftCorner they are great paints to practice with. You can still use the blue to paint shadows :) you can add a tiny amount of red to mute the greens in the mixture
I placed my first temu order today but I ended up getting two of the travel empty woooded pallets cuz I've already got watercolors in a metal tin that I bought from Amazon wall back and I love prima's items with their really pricey and I will not buy from them.
This only looks like that in the pan and ofcourse with colours that contain white but that is with expensive brands too. I have the decadent pies from prima and especially love the blues and earthy green in that one, nice and transparant
@@emmamariamakes yes sadly there aren’t regulations as what can be defined as that..most cheaper versions are water based paint incapable of achieving the effects and techniques watercolour is known to achieve
Really???? Wow how fascinating. I wonder what that means? Do they pass off the paint that doesn't quite match in terms of pigment levels, into these other sets? Thanks for that!
I don't think that's accurate as the cakes themselves have different texture to them. The prima almost have this rough/sandy like texture to the cakes and the seami ones appear to be smooth more like w&n cotman, not to mention the pigmentation is vastly different.
@@godzandheros don't shoot the messenger. I am a federal investigator. Just passing on information on the manufacturer. Several channels have covered the various sub brands by Mungyo and Lightwish that own Paul Rubens.

Crafting is expensive! It’s nice to have options that are budget friendly ❤❤❤❤
@@LindsaysCraftCornerexactly!
You can copy “color” but not quality. Each paint company’s formula is their most guarded secret
@oaktharas That's only for artist grade watercolors.
I think the Temu just needs more time to activate. With your first set of comparison, you sprayed them and use them first in the second set you use them second which means they got to sit longer and activate. They both are beautiful colors.
They are very beautiful ❤and you make a valid point!

This was a great video- so detailed and informative! I would have loved to see the paints in action on some quality paper!! Thank you :)
Thank you so much!!! Working on that video next! ❤❤❤❤
That's just what I was thinking.
Also, I would have rearranged/matched the colors in the tin, but that's just me!
The metal by the pans is meant to be pinched in so that the pans stay put. Just a tip because i know it can be frustrating when they slide back and forth picking up the pigments
Thank you!!! ❤❤❤

A reviewer once said that Prima marketing is the same as Jane Davenport, ir perhaps JD from a few years back. Crazy difference in price.
Yes, Jane Davenport has very nice quality watercolors! ❤
The Prima Currents are a set I love to paint with. Such beautiful colors and pigmented

Thank you for this comparison video. The SeamiArt prices have increased on TEMU and some pallets are no longer available. When comparing a price of $17.00 to the Prima Watercolor Confections, I think it maybe better to go with the latter. "T's World Of Adult Coloring" swatched the watercolors as well. Her SeamiArt Skin Tones pan did not have the peacock color, so I think that is TEMU's mistake. The Vintage Pastel pallet seemed inconsistent, IMO. Although the colors are the same, their intensity varies between your swatch and T's World Of Adult Coloring's. For example, the third color (blue) of the SeamiArt Vintage Pastel's is so light on T's swatch that it's difficult to see any color. Your swatch has a great deal more pigment.

This specific type of watercolor pan, with like the dome shape of the paint is referred to as "cakes" because of how they are made. Half pan, is just the size of the pan itself and not a descriptor of the actual watercolor paint.
Thank you! ❤️
Hello! I happen to own the seamiart (temu) complexion set. I think they gave you the wrong color as that’s definitely not burnt ochre. It’s supposed to be a warm mid toned brown 😢 but otherwise it’s a great set to practice with.
That would make sense because the color match/name on that one was definitely odd haha. With that being said, I still do love them very much! ❤❤❤
@@LindsaysCraftCorner they are great paints to practice with. You can still use the blue to paint shadows :) you can add a tiny amount of red to mute the greens in the mixture
@@ethereal_illusionslove that tip! Thank you! ❤❤❤
Great. Off to Temu I go. Again…
Sorry! 😂
Hehe, I’ve just been there! I really appreciate your comparison, thank you.
@@carolinejane8145you’re welcome! Glad you liked it!! ❤❤❤
Prima does have pigment information on card but I assume the Temu do not have pigment information... or lightfastness
Yes, on the Prima card it does list pigment info, but none that I could find on the Temu side. Thanks for watching! ❤
I placed my first temu order today but I ended up getting two of the travel empty woooded pallets cuz I've already got watercolors in a metal tin that I bought from Amazon wall back and I love prima's items with their really pricey and I will not buy from them.
Great! Let us know how you like them! Thank you for your comment 😊
Both sets look more like gouache than watercolour…there is not a lot of transparency in either. Watercolours aren’t meant to be opaque
I will be doing a video demonstrating them a little more ❤❤❤
This only looks like that in the pan and ofcourse with colours that contain white but that is with expensive brands too. I have the decadent pies from prima and especially love the blues and earthy green in that one, nice and transparant
@@emmamariamakes any water based paint that has white added is gouache not watercolour.
@@meherenow well the tubes still say watercolour
@@emmamariamakes yes sadly there aren’t regulations as what can be defined as that..most cheaper versions are water based paint incapable of achieving the effects and techniques watercolour is known to achieve
Please swatch the Vintage....THanks. From Philippines
Will do! Thank you for watching!!! ❤❤❤

Are either brand chalky?
Not at all! Both brands tested out beautifully. I’ll be doing an upcoming video showing them in action so stay tuned for that! ❤❤❤
Both Seami & Prima are made by the same Korean manufacturer. Becca Hillburn has done videos in both. I don't remember if it's Mungyo or Paul Rubens.
Interesting! All of my Seami boxes said made in china. Thanks for the comment! ❤
Really???? Wow how fascinating. I wonder what that means? Do they pass off the paint that doesn't quite match in terms of pigment levels, into these other sets? Thanks for that!
I don't think that's accurate as the cakes themselves have different texture to them. The prima almost have this rough/sandy like texture to the cakes and the seami ones appear to be smooth more like w&n cotman, not to mention the pigmentation is vastly different.
Thank you for your response!
@@godzandheros don't shoot the messenger. I am a federal investigator. Just passing on information on the manufacturer. Several channels have covered the various sub brands by Mungyo and Lightwish that own Paul Rubens.
