Hey guys! I just wanted to let you guys know that I will be trying this palette out more, and continue trying to use it and make it work for me so I can best let you guys know if its worth it, so far - not so great BUT I will hopefully get some use out of it and be able to maybe give you some tutorial ideas - in the mean time there are definitely other RUclipsrs out there who have done looks with it - and who do love it. This is just my initial first thoughts, so definitely not set in stone, things can change! LOVE YOU ALL!
RawBeautyKristi Hopefully it works out for you the next time you use it! I didn't buy subculture bc of reviews(particularly yours❤) & after playing with it in store, it just looked very difficult to work with (although the shades are gorge) But I bought the prisim the day it hit stores & I'm thinking of buying a back up during the vib sale because it's my absolute favorite palette now! I really feel inspired with it! Just goes to show how makeup is so personal, & everyone has different preferences & standards. ❤❤❤❤ Srry so long lol.
Try using an eyelid primer or glitter glue? Instead of concealer? (Which I assume you laid down first instead.) The concealer might be muddying the shadow, diluting the pigment, perhaps? (referring to the green shimmer shadow.)
xMourningStar I thought possibly the same, I have several different concealers, primers, & base products for the reason not every product works with one another. I'm sure she'll try it out many different ways.☺
Tbh, I find it super annoying how people are like “you’re not using the shadows right. You have to change this, this, this, and this.” Yet neither product came with any indication they needed to be used differently until people called ABH out, be it bullshit or ABH overlooking an important thing to tell their consumers about their new product... most people arent going to reach for a product they can only use certain primers, brushes, techniques, etc with. I don’t have time for that BS, and neither do most people.
I think it's just theme-less. The MR palette was an ode to Italy and the vibrant colors of love, art, and awakening. The Subculture palette was urban sheik with a grungy undertone. This looks like quads thrown together in a boring attempt to make a quick penny for the holidays. I walked straight passed it without a second look.
Maddie Trail Of course I know what the term fucking prism means, honey. Don't bring me that sass. But calling a palette "prism" isn't a "theme". Thats the same thing as calling a palette "colors." 🤦😩
Ali Star Can you guys quit it with the fucking sass? Goddamn. She asked why it didn't interest her like MR and and the other did, and I provided a possible cause. No, a palette doesn't have to have a theme just like you apparently don't have to have a clue to comment ^
I don't get why people come for RUclipsrs when they have issues with products or don't like products. You totally did it wrong Kristi, you judged too harshly, it's only because you think the shades are boring, etc. You gave it every chance you would any other product, you tried more than a few times to blend it. It's not her lights, it was patchy and didn't blend! No every palette may not be bad, maybe she just got a bad one who knows. But it's not her technique, this chick is talented. Go watch her Halloween looks and other tutorials to see just how much talent she has. Not every product will work for every single person, and people are still allowed to dislike something.
TheOctoberOwl they did! The bad habits retro love palette is a literal dupe! You could get it on the Hush app and the ingredients are alright they’re similar to morphe shadows
Everyone trying to give you tips on how to make this work. If you hated it, you hated it. You don’t have to love it because it’s ABH. I have the Modern Renaissance and I reach for it the least in my collection. I love the ABH single shadows but I’ve never like their palettes. You like what you like and you don’t have to apologize or explain.
right? "you should set it, you should pick up less product, you should do this and that" blah blah blah everyone has their own techniques and preferences and she tried to do this the way she always does her eyeshadow and it didn't work. she tried adapting it and it looked like shit. IT DIDN'T WORK FOR HER. doesn't mean she can't do makeup.
I wish ABH would just slow the fuck down! Take like 10 seconds to get the quality back and stop rolling out shit every other week. Side note, your end look was flawless as always Kristi and your thumbnail is fantastic!
Absolutely! quality must come before quantity. especially in this day in age with social media, one person could have a negative experience with your company and in a matter of seconds the entire world could be aware of it.
Girl, these shadows are a joke. You were too forgiving in my opinion. I️ mean, that green and the attempt at blending in the outer corner... girl... Norvina... honey we need to talk. That was ridiculous! 0/10 not for $42 you got the wrong one ABH
what i would love to see is a half and half face comparison of an eye look using the subculture or prism palette and then another favorite palette to show differences in blendability and pigment concentration. i really believe you're putting in effort but i think it would really help some of us out there. Thanks!! :)
Thank you for for getting close to the camera, not using filters, I love that the same problems I sometimes run into are shown here. I don’t feel like a I suck at makeup now. And it helps me trust you.
I can't get over the lack of pigment in that black colour! For such an expensive and super hyped palette this all looks really disappointing. I've seen cheap AF drug store brands with more pigment and less fall out
Ginny D She could always skip out foundation, but do the rest of her face with it. I'm pretty sure they sell at least one concealer... maybe a palette?
Ginny D Ginny D, MUR do foundations, but not good at all ( sorry the misspellings, I’m portuguese). Although the eye pallets and powders in general are pretty good. I have 8 MUR eye shadow pallets and really love them.
Totally need you do to a makeup rev look! They do foundation. And their products are amazing quality for the $$ x x on par with bhcosmetics. X #jointherevolution #mistermakeup
The last two Abh pallets don't seem to play well with shape tape - it's what I noticed watching reviews that have cut creases or primed the lid with shape tape
Riah Dawn I trust Jeffree but, he does kiss ass I feel since he is very well known and doesn't want to start beef. I also feel like since he gets makeup free, he also kisses ass for that reason.
Jeffree is much more credible than Nikkie because she always looks like she’s afraid to lose sponsorship or support from brands. But I don’t like jeffree lol...
It looks so bad!!! I just bought the palette and I've tried it out. It blended like a dream. I didn't use all the same shades. I did put the shimmers on with a finger not a brush. I don't know. I feel like abh has something fucked in the lab that makes some palettes good and others bad...
JayJay the Makeup Boi I think it’s the fact that the ingredients in this compared to MR are minimal, plus they used talc instead of mica. I could be wrong but that’s how I feel
Jesse the Smartass I mean the ingredients have to why it’s shitty now that’s the only thing it could be. If it’s not talc it’s definitely something else in the ingredients
Viseart shadows, which are literally some of the very best in the world, are talc based. Something has changed, if nothing else their inconsistencies are insane. But I really don't think it is a talc/mica issue.
Hi girl, the colour scheme in this palette speaks to me the most out of all three. I really love it, hence why I got the Prism myself. I don’t have issues using it, it’s extremely pigmented but there isn’t that much kickback or fallout. I actually had little to none fallout while doing pretty heavy, smokey look. I’d only advise to be light handed as the colours are really pigmented and you might not want to have too much colour on your eye lid if you’re going for softer look. Xx
I haven't tried Subculture but I love my Prism palette! I was surprised that you went straight into Parallel in the crease because it's such a dark color. I love using Lure and Eden as my transition shades and THEN deepen up the crease with Saturn and/or Parallel. I also never have a problem packing on the shimmers with a Fix+ dampened brush. It would be such a shame if there are inconsistencies in different peoples' Prism palettes :(
Ya, you should always slowly build up the color idk wtf she is doing.... with a palette that is so pigmented you might have some issues blending. But It's something you can work around. It's stupid that she went for a dark shade because dark shades are usually harder to blend. In every damn palette. So idk.
@@cgbell1123 she literally does this technique with every palette she owns and likes so I don't know why she should do anything different than what she's used to just because it's an ABH palette. I would have gone for the same shade for the crease.
I have been binge watching your videos as this one came on. I love love love you and your channel and I am so so happy I found you. Keep being you cause you are hilarious and you keep it real AF.
I know this is a year late but I have hooded eyes and still do whatever look I want XD. Makeup is art! Dont let the canvas stop you from creating whatever you feel to paint. GO FOR IT!
shophush has an EXACT color dupe for the subculture palette and its literally $10. I was kind of wondering if maybe you would be willing to review it??? I love the colors in the subculture palette too but the formula is so bad and i know a lot of people feel that way. just a thought! love you!!!!!!
I'm with u girl! Some of those shades where definitely patchy. That green looked so gorgeous in the pan and completely different on the eye. I've have never seen a metallic act the way that green did. That black was just shit. Ya! I'll definitely be passing. Love ur in-depth review.
What frustrates me is that subculture and prism seem to have "directions" and everyone is trying to crack the code on how to use them correctly. I think shimmers should work as a shimmer regardless of using them wet or dry or with your finger or a brush. For example, Jaclyn Hill x Morphe, the shimmers show up no matter what. They are better wet but still nice if they are dry. The shimmer you used on your lid here was not good in any way except with your finger. Disappointed in ABH palletes. Modern Renaissance was perfect. Why did they have to fix something that wasn't broken? :/
Olivia Nieto I have Prism and the shimmers DO work with a wet and dry brush. They don't work on top of wet concealer, no shadow does. I love Kristi but you can't cut a crease, not set it, and throw down a shimmer
Shanna Ravenna i feel like I've had a few shimmers that have worked on wet concealer but thats a good point! There are probably many formulas that do work better on a dry concealer!
I just got this palette and I absolutely love it. The mattes blend nicely and the shimmers are gorgeous. I use my fingers with the shimmers for intensity and go in with a small brush to get the edges.
Yay I’m so happy you uploaded!...I was about to go to bed but fuck that, I’m hype for this video bc you killed it on the subculture review! ...love you boo! 😘
Gurl if you can't get a cut crease to blend its def the product. Its not your blending skills. Im tired of the excuse that the palette is for make artist not for beginners or its loose pigment. The only people I've seen nake this work are those who use 2 colors and dab the colors on they don't blend them. Why should you have to change the way you do make up for this palette and if that's the case why not put those instructions on the package. I don't know. Have you thought about getting an updated Subculture palette? I heard the newer stock was made better but since you use your own money I don't know if i would even bother. Thanks for this review. ♥️💎😸😻
Hey, I know that you're suffering from hair loss so I came to say that Jamaican Black Castor Oil helps with hair growth and strengthening as well as peppermint oil❤️. Disappointed with this palette as well😕
I bought it yesterday and it blends like a dream. The shimmer shades don’t stick very easily, I suggest applying it with your finger. Honestly, I thought it was an amazing palette. Wonder what went wrong.
I actually really enjoyed this palette! I'm not the best at eyeshadow, but I didn't have any issue with the pigment acting weird. Maybe it's the type of brush??
Pallets are made in batches (if you didn’t know) so it probably wasn’t anything she did wrong but your batch might have been great and the batch she had was not good ( obviously ) so it probably wasn’t her brushes or anything . It probably was the batch inconsistency 🤷♀️
There's one thing I want you to never change...and that's how long your videos are. They're such a good length and hilarious all the way. I can fall asleep to them and research then in mornings while doing my makeup. Ugh love you so much! Great work!
Sad that you don’t like it😢cuz i love it! The colours selection i happen to think is super cool, pretty and wearable! And I used a different setting spray for the shimmers and it worked like you’d think fix plus would! Also wasn’t that patchy and unblendable as when you did it, not as much fallout either! Strange...😢
From what I’ve experienced with this palette, the shimmers work best with a very stiff synthetic flat brush and you gotta dig in there. As far as the mattes, I liked them best when I didn’t set my Tarte shape tape with powder 🤷🏾♀️ like just let it dry down on its own and then use the shadows
I personally am not drawn to it because of that bright neon yellow/green color, not that I don't like the color, I just don't feel like it goes with the palette's theme
Hey Kristi! Maybe try using a Mac paint pot or other cream base so start with. Not saying that will fix everything but I work at Ulta and have been through training on both of the palettes and that's how we were told to use them. The ABH reps said that the formula was designed to go over things like their cream pots or true eye shadow primers; and that concealer can be too emollient and cause issues. Which I have definitely noticed with my subculture palette. For me, it works best over a Mac paint pot. I hope that helps! Thanks for always keeping it real girl!
This is the first video I see from you and I did think at one point, in the beginning: You know what, she really reminds me of Stephanie Nicole the way she explains things! Absolutely love her reviews and now that I found your channel, I love yours too! Keep up the great work :)
You nailed it with the formula analysis. The matte formula is exactly the same between the Prism and the Subculture. The shimmer shades also include a lot of the same ingredients as the mattes. I loved hearing your impressions of this palette, Kristi!
I love your hair in this video! You are so gorgeous and sweet. I personally love this palette! I also liked Subculture though, so 🤷 But I respect anyone who doesn't like it. Maybe my application style works well for these shadows. ♥️
Madison L same here. I loved both palettes and I believe it’s just the way I put on eyeshadow that makes it work for me and maybe my skin chemistry? 🤷♀️ I dunno. Also, I LOVE her hair here! 😍but yes, I totally understand that these don’t work for everyone. 😊I get it. I do.
Phoenix Hunter Yeah I typically apply very sheer layers and build them up with a tiny bit of powder each time, so I loved the way Subculture blended and worked together. Prism is a daily use palette for me, I can do so many different looks and I get inspired every time I open it up 🙌🏼
Madison L me too! I build layers and lightly dust them over my skin. And yes, prism is a daily wear palette for me now. Bought a back up palette because I love it so much and it’s limited edition. I wish it was permanent. Osiris can give me problems, but i beat it into submission with fix spray.
Same here girls! I love the subculture and the prism palette! I’ve always heard the saying, “different strokes for different folks” so I guess it’s true even for eyeshadow palettes lol And I still love Kristi no matter what and will continue to watch her just because she’s so talented and has an awesome personality!
You and Stephanie are my favorite youtubers and that I trust to give me an honest review on a product without trying to stuff a sponsorship down my throat. Thank you for being you ❤
I really didn't like Subculture. I can sort of get it to work but its not worth the effort to get it to work for the most part. I like this one far better, but that's like saying I like having my bank account have $10 vs being in the negative. Prism is a better palette, but its far below the Mod. Ren palette or the Mario palettes. I don't know what's up with ABH, but they are in jeopardy of going to "I need to see a couple dozen reviews before I get it" when they were "I'll buy anything they put out for my eyes"
Monica Jones-Tabor that's exactly what I thought like maybe set the concealer first I've seen people use throne with fix plus and it turned out great but they set their lids with powder first
I’ve noticed that with subculture too. Most people who hated it used a paint pot or concealer as a base. I think it’s the base that’s messing it up. I don’t know why people haven’t tried to switch up their primer and then try it out. Maybe they have idk.
I always use this and the Subculture with primer and no, they do not blend well. I do not think I am that dumb when it comes to makeup but these do not want to work at all. I might have gotten bad batch I guess 🤷🏻♀️
with this palette i️ noticed the shimmer shades work best as like “toppers” on other shadows. i️ really love it that way, the mattes i️ really like (but abh mattes are my kink so that’s just me) but using the shimmers as toppers on other shadows really makes them stand out. i️ personally love tbis palette and i️ always get compliments on my makeup when i️ use it, that’s just me though.
I bought this palette last week and have been using it every day. So far I’ve gotten some really nice looks! I’d recommend watching Samantha Ravndahl’s video where she does 4 looks with this palette, it really inspired me to see what kind of looks this palette could create. When I first saw the palette back in October, I thought it didnt look cohesive at all and thought I’d 100% be passing on it. After watching some videos on it, I fell in love with the versatility of the shadows and knew I needed to buy it. I really like this palette. I’ve had no issues blending the shadows, and like all of them aside from Obsidian which I think isn’t the blackest black I’ve ever tried. Please give this palette another chance Kristi! I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you :( I love your videos and I believe you’re always honest about your opinions.
You have so much patience with all the blending, I would've been so irritated halfway through and say "fuck it" and wipe it all off. Your videos are great, i always look forward to the next one!
Okay now I’m starting to think that maybe they do have “bad batches” because I have this palette and it applies beautifully. I use thrown with my finger though and it applies nice and blends out well. Maybe watch Samantha Ravndahl's video on it because she does give pretty good advice on how to blend out these specific shadows.👍🏻
Honestly I have it too and it’s amazing. I never saw a video on how to apply it so I used it as I would any other palette and it blended well and looked beautiful
They do not have bad patches.Most people on RUclips also liked it.She just tries to make it look shitty,in order to get views and be praised for her "honesty".It's really that pathetic.
ern m No, they really do have bad batches. And you seem like you have a lot of anger inside of you based on the way you were talking about her just because this palette did not work for her.
I wonder why it doesn't work for you. I got my pallette 3 days ago and it blend and works perfectly (Million timers better than SC pallette)... Could it be your primer?
Carter James I use concealer as a primer and it works just as well. But every skin type is different so while concealer may work for some it doesn’t work for others. Doesn’t mean they’re dumb
I've noticed a thing. I struggle when I lay down Tarte Shape Tape as a base (even with Laura Mercier or another powder over it). When I use my MAC Painterly Paint Pot and the sent it, I don't struggle. I've been playing with this palette for about a month, and that's how I got it to work. Same was true for Subculture, it turned into a crazy mess when I used Shape Tape (especially when I tried to cut a crease.) Just my experience. Love you Kristi!
I just got this weird idea, could you try to use both palettes without any base and any setting powder. I know its a really weird idea but I went into Sephora and did some brush swatches with no eyeshadow primer no concealer no setting powder and it miraculously blended beautifully, i don't know its just a thought.
That’s a great observation - quad-ing the shades together like that I bet would work great together. The only drawback from my perspective was that there wasn’t any TRUE transition shades for me. I need medium toned neutrals.
I totally agree that the colors look super strange together in the palette at first but for some reason it works?? I almost didn't get it because it's so weird looking but I'm honestly glad I did bc Saturn and Osiris are beautiful. The mattes definitely require a light hand, not as much as subculture but they definitely work better if you blend as you go rather than applying color and then trying to blend it out. Subculture especially works best if you layer the color exactly how you want it to look instead of trying to blend outward, if that makes any sense
I just wanna say that I love you and your channel! I found you about a week ago and may or may not have binged most of your videos! But I just love that you are one big makeup loving werido! Keep up the amazing work! :)
hm interesting. I never really had this issue with prism. Maybe it's the powder you are using to set your concealer on your lid? I've found that I am able to blend ABH shadows easily (and that includes subculture to some extent) if I use translucent powder on my lid instead of a colored powder. Maybe that could help if you used a colored powder. Best ~
Kristi, I am a new subscriber and I’m not sure why I haven’t subscribed sooner. You’re awesome and funny and remind me of my best friend. Keep doing you. You’re fantastic!
As soon as you said that something about the colors didn't vibe with you, my immediate thought was the yellow, too. It's such an odd choice for this palette.
I've noticed that a lot of people who had issues with subculture and also this palette have been using the shape-tape as a primer / base. Try it without the shape-tape and see if that works? Maybe a long shot, but I do wonder if it isn't the concealer messing with that formula?
Pigeon Pie if she wanted it to be a little easier with the vlogmas she could release 1 video a Week with the 7 days worth of vlogmas footage, that way it Would be less stressful to realese everyday and I honestly like longer videos Than short. But it's her choice of course, I don't want to work her to death, and I also know not everyone likes longer videos xD
It’s crazy because I love this pallet! I hav recreated quite a few of beautiful looks with it! Maybe you got a bad pallet or maybe it just doesn’t work with your skin. But idk 🤷🏻♂️ at least you gave it a try though :)
I personally really enjoy both the subculture and this pallet. They work beautifully together and I've gotten such gorgeous looks with them. Looks that I never thought I could pull off. They are different than all the warm pallets out there and I'm loving it. It's a little bit of a learning curve but the more I play with it the more I'm loving it. I've also been pairing it with my saint and sinner pallet. I'm so happy with both these pallets
I love that you get up close and show why you don't like it. Some guru's will say "My foundation looks horrible. Do you guys see that?" and I'm just sitting there like boi what? I don't see anything because you're so far away from the camera.
Have you considered switching all your makeup over to being cruelty free? I love watching your videos so it'd be even more brilliant to see more CF alternatives too! Loved the video as always :)
i feel like u use all the products u feature like a regular consumer would and that’s really important in the context of these kinds of reviews cuz not all of us are experts and we don’t have the experience behind us to explain a product not working like we expected! grateful for your reviews always!
I love how u actually tell us the truth !!! Ur not scared u don’t sugarcoat anything !! I’m so happy I found u I literally watch ur videos till I fall asleep
I zont know about you guys but i did a similar look to her using throne and it came out super vibrant. And all i did was apply the shadow wet and then do another layer dry to enhance and it came out great 👍 also did she forget to set her concealer on her eye?
hey kristi! just wanted to say that instead of using fix plus for those, i use the mac painterly pot. directly on the brush and then onto the shadow and then dab onto my eye!!
I wonder if something about that Throne color with the Fix+ With the concealer base underneath is whats causing the issue with that particular formula. Its a shame, Throne looks So gorgeous in the pan. Saturn does look pretty patchy & annoying. :/ What a bummer. Cool trick with the chartreuse! Usually chartreuses look awesome in the pan but almost always pretty lackluster. You shouldnt have to struggle so hard to have it only get kind of slightly shittier to then only get a tiny bit better with 3x as much effort. :/ Your reviews are already definitely just as awesome as SN's! Love that you cite her. You are both top notch!
Totally agree with you about the formula of throne I think these shimmers are much oilier than other shimmers so adding water could cause breakdown of some of the product.
Been marathon watching your videos. You’re sooo funny, and you have a fantastic personable way of speaking to me (the viewer). Also I love that your makeup critiques are SUPER honest and EXTREMELY thorough (like price per item? this vid is a review on eyeshadow, but I KNOW you’ve also gone over a similar price breakdown - like per ounce, or per package). Plus I personally consider it a BONUS: your packaging & layout critiques. So glad I subbed.
Kristi, I’m sure when you’re having situations like this where a palette is behaving like crap, you’re not having a good time at all but let me assure you that you’re actually really helping us. I have been on the fence about Prism for a while now. I’ve almost bought it a couple different times but you made up my mind today. I think I’ll be passing but I want to thank you anyway cos your opinion is one I’ve come to love and trust over the last few weeks. You make me laugh so much but I also love hearing what you have to say about makeup. Keep it up. You’re doing so great! 😀 xo
It's interesting to read the comments... People have different techniques of applying eyeshadow. Take the advice of RUclipsrs with whom you share the same technique. You and I apply eyeshadow similarly so that's why I take your advice on which palettes are dog shit. Xoxo
I always think a lot of people hate a product because it’s the “cool” thing to do but I appreciate your videos and know that you genuinely give a product your honest opinion and try your best to give it a chance
I bought this palette and in my opinion it's just as good as the modern renaissance palette! I use it in the same way and it works really well for me! Not much fallout either
I'm by no means a pro, but I could NOT get this to blend nicely. It always ended up so gray on me... and I say this as someone who actually likes & uses Subculture. This is the first palette I've ever returned :/
i’m so glad i’ve held out on buying this. i never bought subculture because i couldn’t justify it, especially with all the negative feedback. with prism, i’ve been wondering if i’ll beat myself later for not buying it but i really don’t think i will. i so appreciate this!
In regards to Sub Culture pallette, no one I know likes it. They all have the same issues, as for this video I am bummed because I have to go to work and wait to watch it in the morning. :( Edit: I fast forwarded and those swatches on your arm makes great bruises! Lmao
Stef nicole, Kathleen Lights, Wayne Goss, Emilynoel, like the palette. Weird because they’re all my trustworthy youtubers. I bought it because of them and extremely disappointed. I can’t even create a decent look out of that palette because the darker shades r sooo patchy.
Hey guys! I just wanted to let you guys know that I will be trying this palette out more, and continue trying to use it and make it work for me so I can best let you guys know if its worth it, so far - not so great BUT I will hopefully get some use out of it and be able to maybe give you some tutorial ideas - in the mean time there are definitely other RUclipsrs out there who have done looks with it - and who do love it. This is just my initial first thoughts, so definitely not set in stone, things can change! LOVE YOU ALL!
RawBeautyKristi I feel the same way as you. It doesn’t draw me in. Awesome video!
RawBeautyKristi Hopefully it works out for you the next time you use it! I didn't buy subculture bc of reviews(particularly yours❤) & after playing with it in store, it just looked very difficult to work with (although the shades are gorge) But I bought the prisim the day it hit stores & I'm thinking of buying a back up during the vib sale because it's my absolute favorite palette now! I really feel inspired with it! Just goes to show how makeup is so personal, & everyone has different preferences & standards. ❤❤❤❤ Srry so long lol.
Try using an eyelid primer or glitter glue? Instead of concealer? (Which I assume you laid down first instead.) The concealer might be muddying the shadow, diluting the pigment, perhaps? (referring to the green shimmer shadow.)
Oof, I just watched your full face of holy grails video, and wow. The difference has just blown. Me. Away.
xMourningStar I thought possibly the same, I have several different concealers, primers, & base products for the reason not every product works with one another. I'm sure she'll try it out many different ways.☺
Tbh, I find it super annoying how people are like “you’re not using the shadows right. You have to change this, this, this, and this.” Yet neither product came with any indication they needed to be used differently until people called ABH out, be it bullshit or ABH overlooking an important thing to tell their consumers about their new product... most people arent going to reach for a product they can only use certain primers, brushes, techniques, etc with. I don’t have time for that BS, and neither do most people.
Sevi Kom Trikru YES
🙏
yes
I think it's just theme-less. The MR palette was an ode to Italy and the vibrant colors of love, art, and awakening. The Subculture palette was urban sheik with a grungy undertone. This looks like quads thrown together in a boring attempt to make a quick penny for the holidays. I walked straight passed it without a second look.
Cheyenne it's a prism....ya know...like lots of colors? a spectrum??
Maddie Trail Of course I know what the term fucking prism means, honey. Don't bring me that sass. But calling a palette "prism" isn't a "theme". Thats the same thing as calling a palette "colors." 🤦😩
I didn't know palletes have to have a theme now! This pallete is truly AMAZING. I've done so many fantastic, unique looks with it.
Ali Star Can you guys quit it with the fucking sass? Goddamn. She asked why it didn't interest her like MR and and the other did, and I provided a possible cause. No, a palette doesn't have to have a theme just like you apparently don't have to have a clue to comment ^
Carter James lol okay sweetie
"6 month shelf life". I'm sorry what. That's literally 6 seconds.
Vanessa Vestal I know! Who the fuck is actually gonna toss it after 6 months??
Olivia Logsdon I still use a naked palette I bought three years ago. That thing was expensive so I won’t throw it out
Vanessa Vestal the shelf life of all their palettes are 6 months. That’s dumb to me but it’s not anything new.
Olivia Logsdon Apparently my 95% full Modern Renaissance palette is 4 months overdue for being thrown in the trash. Better get on that.
I have never & will never throw out a palette after 6 months, that's literally insane
I don't get why people come for RUclipsrs when they have issues with products or don't like products. You totally did it wrong Kristi, you judged too harshly, it's only because you think the shades are boring, etc. You gave it every chance you would any other product, you tried more than a few times to blend it. It's not her lights, it was patchy and didn't blend! No every palette may not be bad, maybe she just got a bad one who knows. But it's not her technique, this chick is talented. Go watch her Halloween looks and other tutorials to see just how much talent she has. Not every product will work for every single person, and people are still allowed to dislike something.
YESSSS
Ugh I really wish theyd redo the subculture palette bc I really live the shades
I thought they did 😧
I feel this so bad. I’m waiting for someone to try to dupe the colors like they did with modern renaissance
TheOctoberOwl they did! The bad habits retro love palette is a literal dupe! You could get it on the Hush app and the ingredients are alright they’re similar to morphe shadows
LeanaCecelia agree!!
LeanaCecelia yeah me too
Everyone trying to give you tips on how to make this work. If you hated it, you hated it. You don’t have to love it because it’s ABH. I have the Modern Renaissance and I reach for it the least in my collection. I love the ABH single shadows but I’ve never like their palettes. You like what you like and you don’t have to apologize or explain.
Amber Henson amen girl
right? "you should set it, you should pick up less product, you should do this and that" blah blah blah everyone has their own techniques and preferences and she tried to do this the way she always does her eyeshadow and it didn't work. she tried adapting it and it looked like shit. IT DIDN'T WORK FOR HER. doesn't mean she can't do makeup.
Who uses up a palette in 6 months?!
lisettesbeaute ive never finished a palette😳
6 years more! like
I thought the same thing. Like six months seriously ? There's no way I could. And I wear eyeshadow every single day.
I wish ABH would just slow the fuck down! Take like 10 seconds to get the quality back and stop rolling out shit every other week.
Side note, your end look was flawless as always Kristi and your thumbnail is fantastic!
Absolutely! quality must come before quantity. especially in this day in age with social media, one person could have a negative experience with your company and in a matter of seconds the entire world could be aware of it.
Morgan Hall yass they need to fix the probs
Girl, these shadows are a joke. You were too forgiving in my opinion. I️ mean, that green and the attempt at blending in the outer corner... girl... Norvina... honey we need to talk. That was ridiculous! 0/10 not for $42 you got the wrong one ABH
what i would love to see is a half and half face comparison of an eye look using the subculture or prism palette and then another favorite palette to show differences in blendability and pigment concentration. i really believe you're putting in effort but i think it would really help some of us out there. Thanks!! :)
Thank you for for getting close to the camera, not using filters, I love that the same problems I sometimes run into are shown here. I don’t feel like a I suck at makeup now. And it helps me trust you.
I can't get over the lack of pigment in that black colour! For such an expensive and super hyped palette this all looks really disappointing. I've seen cheap AF drug store brands with more pigment and less fall out
I'd love to see you do a full face Makeup Revolution look!
ahoyloser yaaaaaas please 💔💔💔💔💔💔
They don’t really do foundations though
Ginny D She could always skip out foundation, but do the rest of her face with it. I'm pretty sure they sell at least one concealer... maybe a palette?
Ginny D Ginny D, MUR do foundations, but not good at all ( sorry the misspellings, I’m portuguese). Although the eye pallets and powders in general are pretty good. I have 8 MUR eye shadow pallets and really love them.
Totally need you do to a makeup rev look! They do foundation. And their products are amazing quality for the $$ x x on par with bhcosmetics. X #jointherevolution #mistermakeup
The last two Abh pallets don't seem to play well with shape tape - it's what I noticed watching reviews that have cut creases or primed the lid with shape tape
Seeing your comment, I realize that’s been a common denominator in videos I’ve watched where people struggled, too. Definitely a great theory!
alissa ashley tried subculture not using shape tape and then with shape tape and both times it was awful
Justin Klym she was picking too much pigment that’s why it wasn’t blending well
Yes I think this is the case.
I noticed this with myself. Does anyone think they would work better together if i set the concealer w/ powder?
Would you do Storybook cosmetics palettes reviews? I don't completely trust Jeffree star or nikkietutorials
Riah Dawn I trust Jeffree but, he does kiss ass I feel since he is very well known and doesn't want to start beef. I also feel like since he gets makeup free, he also kisses ass for that reason.
Fuck Jeffree but I think nikkie is pretty credible imo
Jeffree is much more credible than Nikkie because she always looks like she’s afraid to lose sponsorship or support from brands. But I don’t like jeffree lol...
Riah Dawn maybe try jkissa? She did a review on the mean girl palette and I really like her reviews
storybook is so diddly darn expensive
It looks so bad!!! I just bought the palette and I've tried it out. It blended like a dream. I didn't use all the same shades. I did put the shimmers on with a finger not a brush. I don't know. I feel like abh has something fucked in the lab that makes some palettes good and others bad...
JayJay the Makeup Boi I think it’s the fact that the ingredients in this compared to MR are minimal, plus they used talc instead of mica. I could be wrong but that’s how I feel
Jesse the Smartass I mean the ingredients have to why it’s shitty now that’s the only thing it could be. If it’s not talc it’s definitely something else in the ingredients
JayJay the Makeup Boi I'm with you! I didn't notice any blending issues.
JayJay the Makeup Boi mine is stunning too
Viseart shadows, which are literally some of the very best in the world, are talc based. Something has changed, if nothing else their inconsistencies are insane. But I really don't think it is a talc/mica issue.
Literally cannot click fast enough. Obsessed with you and your content!
“My nail lady had a baby....” 😂😂
Hi girl, the colour scheme in this palette speaks to me the most out of all three. I really love it, hence why I got the Prism myself. I don’t have issues using it, it’s extremely pigmented but there isn’t that much kickback or fallout. I actually had little to none fallout while doing pretty heavy, smokey look. I’d only advise to be light handed as the colours are really pigmented and you might not want to have too much colour on your eye lid if you’re going for softer look. Xx
Paulina Kujawa 서연 I agree
i love the prism palette
gurl.............. thank you for filming taking the plastic off the mirror
I haven't tried Subculture but I love my Prism palette! I was surprised that you went straight into Parallel in the crease because it's such a dark color. I love using Lure and Eden as my transition shades and THEN deepen up the crease with Saturn and/or Parallel. I also never have a problem packing on the shimmers with a Fix+ dampened brush. It would be such a shame if there are inconsistencies in different peoples' Prism palettes :(
aleynah thornton I have only used about half the colors in mine, but i think i am liking it too.
aleynah thornton DITTO girl!
Ya, you should always slowly build up the color idk wtf she is doing.... with a palette that is so pigmented you might have some issues blending. But It's something you can work around. It's stupid that she went for a dark shade because dark shades are usually harder to blend. In every damn palette. So idk.
real moist I was thinking the same exact thing.. 🤔🙄
@@cgbell1123 she literally does this technique with every palette she owns and likes so I don't know why she should do anything different than what she's used to just because it's an ABH palette. I would have gone for the same shade for the crease.
I have been binge watching your videos as this one came on. I love love love you and your channel and I am so so happy I found you. Keep being you cause you are hilarious and you keep it real AF.
Mel Fraser yes! I just found her as well and I’m so obsessed. 😍💜
Even though the eyeshadows weren't the best, you still KILLED IT GIRL. 😍😍😍
God... I just wanna be your best friend.. maybe live in your closet.. just come out every so often and say sup.. not asking much.
Kylie Medley same girl. Same.
Same...I wanna join!
Kylie Medley we can be her closet kitties
Kylie Medley I feel ya...I need a best friend like Kristi
Can we all just have one huge makeup party?
How did you come up with such a beautiful look?! Darn I hate having hooded eyes lol
Julia Tran having hooded eyes and being a makeup lover is a nightmare 😭😭😭
Saaame. Damn hooded eyes 😭
I know this is a year late but I have hooded eyes and still do whatever look I want XD. Makeup is art! Dont let the canvas stop you from creating whatever you feel to paint. GO FOR IT!
i am not really into makeup (just love watching others do it, haha) but darn if only i could smack a bold winged eyeliner on! 😫
@@behabtwa it's hard for me to even had a proper eyeliner! I'm so sick of my eyes :(
shophush has an EXACT color dupe for the subculture palette and its literally $10. I was kind of wondering if maybe you would be willing to review it??? I love the colors in the subculture palette too but the formula is so bad and i know a lot of people feel that way. just a thought! love you!!!!!!
Sierra Corder is it the Retro pallet on shophush that’s the subculture dupe?
misshulagirl05 yes. Retro love is the dupe
Yes please do this!!
I'm with u girl! Some of those shades where definitely patchy. That green looked so gorgeous in the pan and completely different on the eye. I've have never seen a metallic act the way that green did. That black was just shit. Ya! I'll definitely be passing. Love ur in-depth review.
“Lack luster”
-Kristis favorite word
What frustrates me is that subculture and prism seem to have "directions" and everyone is trying to crack the code on how to use them correctly. I think shimmers should work as a shimmer regardless of using them wet or dry or with your finger or a brush. For example, Jaclyn Hill x Morphe, the shimmers show up no matter what. They are better wet but still nice if they are dry. The shimmer you used on your lid here was not good in any way except with your finger. Disappointed in ABH palletes. Modern Renaissance was perfect. Why did they have to fix something that wasn't broken? :/
Olivia Nieto I have Prism and the shimmers DO work with a wet and dry brush. They don't work on top of wet concealer, no shadow does. I love Kristi but you can't cut a crease, not set it, and throw down a shimmer
Olivia Nieto I believe it was due to her not setting the concealer...
Shanna Ravenna i feel like I've had a few shimmers that have worked on wet concealer but thats a good point! There are probably many formulas that do work better on a dry concealer!
I would love to see you collab with someone who likes subculture and you guys apply the shadows in different ways etc
YES!
Yes!!!!!!!!
I just got this palette and I absolutely love it. The mattes blend nicely and the shimmers are gorgeous. I use my fingers with the shimmers for intensity and go in with a small brush to get the edges.
Hope Liston I share your opinion and don’t understand why the people don’t love it 🤔
Yay I’m so happy you uploaded!...I was about to go to bed but fuck that, I’m hype for this video bc you killed it on the subculture review! ...love you boo! 😘
Gurl if you can't get a cut crease to blend its def the product. Its not your blending skills. Im tired of the excuse that the palette is for make artist not for beginners or its loose pigment. The only people I've seen nake this work are those who use 2 colors and dab the colors on they don't blend them. Why should you have to change the way you do make up for this palette and if that's the case why not put those instructions on the package. I don't know.
Have you thought about getting an updated Subculture palette? I heard the newer stock was made better but since you use your own money I don't know if i would even bother. Thanks for this review. ♥️💎😸😻
Hey, I know that you're suffering from hair loss so I came to say that Jamaican Black Castor Oil helps with hair growth and strengthening as well as peppermint oil❤️. Disappointed with this palette as well😕
Jesse the Smartass yeah, I was born w black hair and it all fell out and grew back blonde
If Kristi can’t blend it..I sure as shit can’t blend it lol.
Kylie Nagel want to support each other?:)
Gabby Cannella like you trying to support me financially or? Lol I don’t have a channel
Yes lmao
Kylie Nagel but they blend! I wear this palette! The colors blend themselves!
I have this palette and I am no pro...and these shadows blend themselves, they blend so beautifully. I love it
I bought it yesterday and it blends like a dream. The shimmer shades don’t stick very easily, I suggest applying it with your finger. Honestly, I thought it was an amazing palette. Wonder what went wrong.
I actually really enjoyed this palette! I'm not the best at eyeshadow, but I didn't have any issue with the pigment acting weird. Maybe it's the type of brush??
Pallets are made in batches (if you didn’t know) so it probably wasn’t anything she did wrong but your batch might have been great and the batch she had was not good ( obviously ) so it probably wasn’t her brushes or anything . It probably was the batch inconsistency 🤷♀️
There's one thing I want you to never change...and that's how long your videos are. They're such a good length and hilarious all the way. I can fall asleep to them and research then in mornings while doing my makeup. Ugh love you so much! Great work!
Sad that you don’t like it😢cuz i love it! The colours selection i happen to think is super cool, pretty and wearable! And I used a different setting spray for the shimmers and it worked like you’d think fix plus would! Also wasn’t that patchy and unblendable as when you did it, not as much fallout either! Strange...😢
You’re the only youtuber I can binge watch for literally hours ... I seriously cant get enough!! Love you and your amazing content ! Thank you ❤️❤️
From what I’ve experienced with this palette, the shimmers work best with a very stiff synthetic flat brush and you gotta dig in there. As far as the mattes, I liked them best when I didn’t set my Tarte shape tape with powder 🤷🏾♀️ like just let it dry down on its own and then use the shadows
I personally am not drawn to it because of that bright neon yellow/green color, not that I don't like the color, I just don't feel like it goes with the palette's theme
Would love to see you review the Kat Von D saint and sinner pallet :D
Alyssa Macneil Yeeeees! I'd love to see what kind of look she'd come up with.
Honestly the layout of that palette makes me uncomfortable. The design is beautiful but the color arrangement seems awkward lol
Same! I have the palette and ADORE it! But I still want to see what look Kristi would create!
Olivia Logsdon Yeah, the arrangement just doesn't do it For me, the layout is just messy in My opinion. Other Than that it's pretty though :3
Looove that palette, i have a bunch of colourful tutorials using it, but would love to see what Kristi does!
Hey Kristi!
Maybe try using a Mac paint pot or other cream base so start with. Not saying that will fix everything but I work at Ulta and have been through training on both of the palettes and that's how we were told to use them. The ABH reps said that the formula was designed to go over things like their cream pots or true eye shadow primers; and that concealer can be too emollient and cause issues. Which I have definitely noticed with my subculture palette. For me, it works best over a Mac paint pot.
I hope that helps! Thanks for always keeping it real girl!
This is the first video I see from you and I did think at one point, in the beginning: You know what, she really reminds me of Stephanie Nicole the way she explains things!
Absolutely love her reviews and now that I found your channel, I love yours too!
Keep up the great work :)
You nailed it with the formula analysis. The matte formula is exactly the same between the Prism and the Subculture. The shimmer shades also include a lot of the same ingredients as the mattes. I loved hearing your impressions of this palette, Kristi!
I love your hair in this video! You are so gorgeous and sweet. I personally love this palette! I also liked Subculture though, so 🤷 But I respect anyone who doesn't like it. Maybe my application style works well for these shadows. ♥️
Madison L same here. I loved both palettes and I believe it’s just the way I put on eyeshadow that makes it work for me and maybe my skin chemistry? 🤷♀️ I dunno. Also, I LOVE her hair here! 😍but yes, I totally understand that these don’t work for everyone. 😊I get it. I do.
Phoenix Hunter Yeah I typically apply very sheer layers and build them up with a tiny bit of powder each time, so I loved the way Subculture blended and worked together. Prism is a daily use palette for me, I can do so many different looks and I get inspired every time I open it up 🙌🏼
Madison L me too! I build layers and lightly dust them over my skin. And yes, prism is a daily wear palette for me now. Bought a back up palette because I love it so much and it’s limited edition. I wish it was permanent. Osiris can give me problems, but i beat it into submission with fix spray.
Same here girls! I love the subculture and the prism palette! I’ve always heard the saying, “different strokes for different folks” so I guess it’s true even for eyeshadow palettes lol And I still love Kristi no matter what and will continue to watch her just because she’s so talented and has an awesome personality!
Madison L and subculture is a daily palette for me too. I will rebuy when I use it up. So pretty on me.
You and Stephanie are my favorite youtubers and that I trust to give me an honest review on a product without trying to stuff a sponsorship down my throat. Thank you for being you ❤
I really didn't like Subculture. I can sort of get it to work but its not worth the effort to get it to work for the most part. I like this one far better, but that's like saying I like having my bank account have $10 vs being in the negative. Prism is a better palette, but its far below the Mod. Ren palette or the Mario palettes. I don't know what's up with ABH, but they are in jeopardy of going to "I need to see a couple dozen reviews before I get it" when they were "I'll buy anything they put out for my eyes"
I really feel like it's the concealer on people's eyes that fuck it up.
Monica Jones-Tabor that's exactly what I thought like maybe set the concealer first I've seen people use throne with fix plus and it turned out great but they set their lids with powder first
I always set my concealer otherwise it grabs like that... I didn't have any issues with this palette. Only throne was a bit iffy
I’ve noticed that with subculture too. Most people who hated it used a paint pot or concealer as a base. I think it’s the base that’s messing it up. I don’t know why people haven’t tried to switch up their primer and then try it out. Maybe they have idk.
Luna Blaire I saw people use it with a primer, as well as set both the primer and concealer with powered. Still had those problems
I always use this and the Subculture with primer and no, they do not blend well. I do not think I am that dumb when it comes to makeup but these do not want to work at all. I might have gotten bad batch I guess 🤷🏻♀️
with this palette i️ noticed the shimmer shades work best as like “toppers” on other shadows. i️ really love it that way, the mattes i️ really like (but abh mattes are my kink so that’s just me) but using the shimmers as toppers on other shadows really makes them stand out. i️ personally love tbis palette and i️ always get compliments on my makeup when i️ use it, that’s just me though.
ShelbyCates I just bought this and I can’t wait for it to come in
I agree the mattes are great but the shimmers are not as blinding as I would hope. I never thought to use the shimmers as a topper. Great tip thanks!
I bought this palette last week and have been using it every day. So far I’ve gotten some really nice looks! I’d recommend watching Samantha Ravndahl’s video where she does 4 looks with this palette, it really inspired me to see what kind of looks this palette could create. When I first saw the palette back in October, I thought it didnt look cohesive at all and thought I’d 100% be passing on it. After watching some videos on it, I fell in love with the versatility of the shadows and knew I needed to buy it. I really like this palette. I’ve had no issues blending the shadows, and like all of them aside from Obsidian which I think isn’t the blackest black I’ve ever tried. Please give this palette another chance Kristi! I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you :( I love your videos and I believe you’re always honest about your opinions.
i feel like that yellow is just an odd color.... like almost a sickly green yellow. dunno if i could use it
You have so much patience with all the blending, I would've been so irritated halfway through and say "fuck it" and wipe it all off. Your videos are great, i always look forward to the next one!
Okay now I’m starting to think that maybe they do have “bad batches” because I have this palette and it applies beautifully. I use thrown with my finger though and it applies nice and blends out well. Maybe watch Samantha Ravndahl's video on it because she does give pretty good advice on how to blend out these specific shadows.👍🏻
Honestly I have it too and it’s amazing. I never saw a video on how to apply it so I used it as I would any other palette and it blended well and looked beautiful
They do not have bad patches.Most people on RUclips also liked it.She just tries to make it look shitty,in order to get views and be praised for her "honesty".It's really that pathetic.
ern m No, they really do have bad batches. And you seem like you have a lot of anger inside of you based on the way you were talking about her just because this palette did not work for her.
@@slex9956 sure, Jan
I wonder why it doesn't work for you. I got my pallette 3 days ago and it blend and works perfectly (Million timers better than SC pallette)... Could it be your primer?
alice wwonderland it seems like the company is inconsistent
Carter James I use concealer as a primer and it works just as well. But every skin type is different so while concealer may work for some it doesn’t work for others. Doesn’t mean they’re dumb
ayyy
I love how critical you are of products, it's much more genuine & shows your passion. :)
I've noticed a thing. I struggle when I lay down Tarte Shape Tape as a base (even with Laura Mercier or another powder over it). When I use my MAC Painterly Paint Pot and the sent it, I don't struggle. I've been playing with this palette for about a month, and that's how I got it to work. Same was true for Subculture, it turned into a crazy mess when I used Shape Tape (especially when I tried to cut a crease.) Just my experience. Love you Kristi!
your hair looks so BOMB in this video
I just got this weird idea, could you try to use both palettes without any base and any setting powder. I know its a really weird idea but I went into Sephora and did some brush swatches with no eyeshadow primer no concealer no setting powder and it miraculously blended beautifully, i don't know its just a thought.
That’s a great observation - quad-ing the shades together like that I bet would work great together. The only drawback from my perspective was that there wasn’t any TRUE transition shades for me. I need medium toned neutrals.
I totally agree that the colors look super strange together in the palette at first but for some reason it works?? I almost didn't get it because it's so weird looking but I'm honestly glad I did bc Saturn and Osiris are beautiful. The mattes definitely require a light hand, not as much as subculture but they definitely work better if you blend as you go rather than applying color and then trying to blend it out. Subculture especially works best if you layer the color exactly how you want it to look instead of trying to blend outward, if that makes any sense
*light blend not light hand my b
I just wanna say that I love you and your channel! I found you about a week ago and may or may not have binged most of your videos! But I just love that you are one big makeup loving werido! Keep up the amazing work! :)
hm interesting. I never really had this issue with prism. Maybe it's the powder you are using to set your concealer on your lid? I've found that I am able to blend ABH shadows easily (and that includes subculture to some extent) if I use translucent powder on my lid instead of a colored powder. Maybe that could help if you used a colored powder. Best ~
Kennie J.D. she didn’t set it
oh kennie, hi
Kristi, I am a new subscriber and I’m not sure why I haven’t subscribed sooner. You’re awesome and funny and remind me of my best friend. Keep doing you. You’re fantastic!
As soon as you said that something about the colors didn't vibe with you, my immediate thought was the yellow, too. It's such an odd choice for this palette.
I've noticed that a lot of people who had issues with subculture and also this palette have been using the shape-tape as a primer / base. Try it without the shape-tape and see if that works? Maybe a long shot, but I do wonder if it isn't the concealer messing with that formula?
elle lafant I use shape tape as my base for this pallet and I really love it. I think it may just be a difference in how it’s applied.
Good to know, thanks for mentioning that. :)
Try to use it with a different primer in your eye lids, it can't hurt..... It's doing the same thing as the subculture palette.
"I thought it said lube" XD
Luv you Kristi - are you still thinking of vlogmas or some kinda christmas-sy fun this season?
Pigeon Pie vlogmas with Kristi would be so funnn
It'd be hella work though
Pigeon Pie if she wanted it to be a little easier with the vlogmas she could release 1 video a Week with the 7 days worth of vlogmas footage, that way it Would be less stressful to realese everyday and I honestly like longer videos Than short. But it's her choice of course, I don't want to work her to death, and I also know not everyone likes longer videos xD
It’s crazy because I love this pallet! I hav recreated quite a few of beautiful looks with it! Maybe you got a bad pallet or maybe it just doesn’t work with your skin. But idk 🤷🏻♂️ at least you gave it a try though :)
YES! Been lurking on RUclips waiting for you to upload, girl! Love ya!
I personally really enjoy both the subculture and this pallet. They work beautifully together and I've gotten such gorgeous looks with them. Looks that I never thought I could pull off. They are different than all the warm pallets out there and I'm loving it. It's a little bit of a learning curve but the more I play with it the more I'm loving it. I've also been pairing it with my saint and sinner pallet. I'm so happy with both these pallets
I love this palette I’ve gotten 6 different beautiful looks from it !
I love that you get up close and show why you don't like it. Some guru's will say "My foundation looks horrible. Do you guys see that?" and I'm just sitting there like boi what? I don't see anything because you're so far away from the camera.
Have you considered switching all your makeup over to being cruelty free? I love watching your videos so it'd be even more brilliant to see more CF alternatives too! Loved the video as always :)
i feel like u use all the products u feature like a regular consumer would and that’s really important in the context of these kinds of reviews cuz not all of us are experts and we don’t have the experience behind us to explain a product not working like we expected! grateful for your reviews always!
I’ve been refreshing my sub feed for like 15 min! Lol SO EXCITED!❤️
I know this is totally random...but what is the song playing in the background? You always have the best background music! Love you! 🤗
Personally I prefer the colours of subculture but I prefer the formula of prism I thought prism was overall pretty good
I love how u actually tell us the truth !!! Ur not scared u don’t sugarcoat anything !! I’m so happy I found u I literally watch ur videos till I fall asleep
I zont know about you guys but i did a similar look to her using throne and it came out super vibrant. And all i did was apply the shadow wet and then do another layer dry to enhance and it came out great 👍 also did she forget to set her concealer on her eye?
Alonso V I didn't even use it wet and got mega pigment! Don't k ow why people are having an issue to be honest!
Jodie Kelly me too honestly. I’ve used it a few times and it was beautiful. I used a dry brush and the colors were amazing
Maybe there are inconsistencies. Glad it worked well for you since that color seems so pretty. But for her...It just wasn't working.
hey kristi! just wanted to say that instead of using fix plus for those, i use the mac painterly pot. directly on the brush and then onto the shadow and then dab onto my eye!!
I wonder if something about that Throne color with the Fix+ With the concealer base underneath is whats causing the issue with that particular formula. Its a shame, Throne looks So gorgeous in the pan. Saturn does look pretty patchy & annoying. :/ What a bummer. Cool trick with the chartreuse! Usually chartreuses look awesome in the pan but almost always pretty lackluster. You shouldnt have to struggle so hard to have it only get kind of slightly shittier to then only get a tiny bit better with 3x as much effort. :/ Your reviews are already definitely just as awesome as SN's! Love that you cite her. You are both top notch!
Totally agree with you about the formula of throne I think these shimmers are much oilier than other shimmers so adding water could cause breakdown of some of the product.
it's so weird how the teal shade looked almost grey after the fix plus. Subculture and Prism are def gonna be hard passes from me. Love you Kristi!
Gurl....I'm mad impressed. You managed to take a crappy eyeshadow palette, and make a wearable look.
Been marathon watching your videos. You’re sooo funny, and you have a fantastic personable way of speaking to me (the viewer). Also I love that your makeup critiques are SUPER honest and EXTREMELY thorough (like price per item? this vid is a review on eyeshadow, but I KNOW you’ve also gone over a similar price breakdown - like per ounce, or per package). Plus I personally consider it a BONUS: your packaging & layout critiques. So glad I subbed.
why did they change their formula when it was fine in their previous palettes???
Kristi, I’m sure when you’re having situations like this where a palette is behaving like crap, you’re not having a good time at all but let me assure you that you’re actually really helping us. I have been on the fence about Prism for a while now. I’ve almost bought it a couple different times but you made up my mind today. I think I’ll be passing but I want to thank you anyway cos your opinion is one I’ve come to love and trust over the last few weeks. You make me laugh so much but I also love hearing what you have to say about makeup. Keep it up. You’re doing so great! 😀 xo
It has come to point to where I expect shit shows now 😂😂 I love your videos girl
i absolutely love that you compare them directly. LIKE YES, they have changed. idk why people are acting like they didn't.
It's interesting to read the comments... People have different techniques of applying eyeshadow. Take the advice of RUclipsrs with whom you share the same technique. You and I apply eyeshadow similarly so that's why I take your advice on which palettes are dog shit. Xoxo
I always think a lot of people hate a product because it’s the “cool” thing to do but I appreciate your videos and know that you genuinely give a product your honest opinion and try your best to give it a chance
I bought this palette and in my opinion it's just as good as the modern renaissance palette! I use it in the same way and it works really well for me! Not much fallout either
Also, I feel like these work better on a lighter Base, I use a tiny amount of pain pot and some pressed or loose powder to set
Jodie Kelly same here, I love this palette
Jodie Kelly I absolutely love this palette! Definitely not having the same problems as her 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
I love how in depth you are with your reviews and how honest you are
i got this palette right when it launched and i love it. it works so well, a lot better than subculture. i felt like it was very similar to MR.
Taylor Horton me too honestly
I'm by no means a pro, but I could NOT get this to blend nicely. It always ended up so gray on me... and I say this as someone who actually likes & uses Subculture. This is the first palette I've ever returned :/
To anyone who buys this palette- careful to not scratch the gold on the velvet- it comes off very easily and cannot be fixed!😢
i’m so glad i’ve held out on buying this. i never bought subculture because i couldn’t justify it, especially with all the negative feedback. with prism, i’ve been wondering if i’ll beat myself later for not buying it but i really don’t think i will. i so appreciate this!
In regards to Sub Culture pallette, no one I know likes it. They all have the same issues, as for this video I am bummed because I have to go to work and wait to watch it in the morning. :( Edit: I fast forwarded and those swatches on your arm makes great bruises! Lmao
I have and LOVE my subculture. Most of my friends do too.
Stef nicole, Kathleen Lights, Wayne Goss, Emilynoel, like the palette. Weird because they’re all my trustworthy youtubers. I bought it because of them and extremely disappointed. I can’t even create a decent look out of that palette because the darker shades r sooo patchy.
Love my palette too! Use it almost everyday! Maybe got a different batch? No idea, but i don’t have any problems with mine.
Your two second flashback to the look you made with the Huda DD pallet just sold me on it. GORGEOUS.
