Glossier Monochromes Eyeshadow Palette Review: Teak, Almond, Mist
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- The second the Glossier launched their Monochromes Eyeshadow Palettes I was intrigued. A monochromatic moment with three different finishes? But what about the fact that they put only 3 shades in a quad? Is the formula of the Monochromes good enough to overlook Glossier's fatal design flaw? Watch to find out!

In watching the footage back today, I feel like speeding up the demos was not very helpful for you. Sorry about that! Ya live and ya learn! The next demos will show the footage in real-time so it's easier to see what I'm doing on my eyes.
Just wanted to let you know I appriciate you! You put so much effort in all your video's and give us the products in different light, swatches, and all your honest opinions! Much appriciated! Also, you are absolutely stunning! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I’m trying to produce better quality videos once a week instead of pushing out content twice a week that’s not as helpful. I feel like that’s going to be a better strategy 😊
@@StateofKait I agree! :)
I love you and don’t understand why you don’t have a billion subs. Also, I just saw that video about that asshole who said you looked like every other blonde. Such a lie! You’re so special 💗
Awwww, what a great thing to see first thing in the morning. Thank you!
I have these palettes in Heather and Jute, and I did like them, but I've only used them one time. I do agree that I'm not sure my hair was wildly blown back, but I will say Jute is a really lovely simple taupe eye look. Thank you for the in depth review!
Yeah the shades are beautiful and you can produce some pretty looks! But that ain’t enough for to me to give it the Kait seal of approval 😂
Love your review
Thank you!!
Would love if color pop did this exact concept but gave us an excellent, really wet shiny glitter topper. I am also not huge on eyeshadow. I usually use none or do a one-and-done shadow look, so of course, these pallets spoke to me. I really do think it is such a good idea, but if the formulas are not, no, just no! 22 bucks for 3 eyeshadows. If they were 15 dollars or less, okay, MAYBE I can deal with the formula being crappy but no. On top of all this, the matt is unusable? No, just no! Shame! Such good colors and such good concepts.
Exactlyyyyyyyyy
I was thinking about picking up the shade tweak but after watching your review, I've decided not to. I absolutely LOVE the loreal paris 24 hr eyeshadow shade in amber rush that you were talking about. It is SO GOOD and STUNNING on my blue eyes! I'm not really into wearing a lot of eyeshadow anymore. I like the idea but sad to see it doesn't perform well. Thank you for your honest review 🙂
I think that's a smart choice!
I was seriously tempted by Almond, because like you, this color story is all I ever want on my eyes, but I thought I'd check out some reviews first. Thank you for saving me some $$. :)
Right? Almond is my favorite eyeshadow color of all time but I just wish I could get it in better formulas
@@StateofKait Do you have the Charlotte Tilbury Nude palette for the face? I know the two brown colors are supposed to be contour colors but they look amazing on the eyes. And then the highlight is stunning as a topper!
Nooo one has 20 min to build up an eyeshadow.. what a bummer. Thank you for your honest review. I was just getting ready to buy these but I will save my money!
Honestly it depends on the shade. Almond and the lighter pastel shades are SUPER sheer. But I have Teak and it's very pigmented, although the mattes are still a bit chalky and there isn't much variation among the formulas. But the shades do vary in pigment level, so just go for one of the darker ones
Yes! Agreed they could have done a glitter topper as the 4th shade or even a cream base, missed opportunity. I'm actually really disappointed by this as I really love a lot of the color options they have in these! - Carli
Same! This launch was a huge letdown because there were SO many easy ways to fix the flaws
Hey I love your videos! I was wondering do the pallets come separately to the case? So I could keep changing the Color’s with the refills?
No they don’t come separately, but maybe that option is available online? Not sure
Agreed on all points! Eyeshadow should be easy, especially if branded to be easy on-the-go
Exactly! When it comes to powder eyeshadow, sheer isn’t necessarily the easiest
This is exactly why I'm skeptical of buying these!! IMO, you can find way better shadows from other brands 🤷🏻♀️
Exactly
Your eyes are so pretty!!
Thank you!
I agree about the fourth shadow 🤯 bothers me a lot
Yeah it’s SUCH a missed opportunity!!!
Thank you! do you have any recommendations for alternatives to the almond colors? I want a neutral palette :)
I never wear eyeshadow and have none, also no brushes lol
I have a pretty minimal eyeshadow collection and I don't have any color dupes for Almond sadly
I appreciate how you always consider a variety of lighting for swatches. These shadows are an easy pass for me.
Thank you! It takes more time but ultimately I know it'll be more helpful
Sounds like Glossier needs to work on how to make a powder shadow formulas. But you of course still looked beautiful Kait🤩
Thank you! I just think you can’t launch a subpar powder eyeshadow in a sea of incredible powder eyeshadows that come in a wide range of price points elsewhere.
Hi Kait 🙋🏻♀️!!! Loving your videos! I’m disappointed in how “Mist” performed bc the shades are indeed, “all the rage”, as you so say 🤣🤣, lol!!! Have a great wknd!! Xoxo🥰
oh thanks! Yeah I think Glossier had such a great opportunity to make these a perfect product but sadly did not execute that well :(
It seems like the Athr prose quartz palette has many of the same tones of shades and they preform much better (and you get more in the Athr palette)!
Right! I saw that Kackie mentioned that!
Very true that not all shades are created equal. Prairie is gorgeous and performs great but Heather’s matte is sheer and patchy af.
Exactly! If almond and mist performed like teak I would be ok with the launch
Ugh I lovvvvvvve some of glossiers products but that horrible use of space in the quad is bugging me. You know what I think they should have done? Let the 4th space be an open spot where you could smush your brush against the component. When I wet my eye shadow, I like to gently scratch the shadow so it turns into loose powder at the edge. Then try to pick that up on the edge of an eyeshadow brush. Then I spray fix plus onto whatever surface I have available and kinda mush the brush in with it all. It would have been nice to have an empty pan in the component for that purpose. But I guess it still would have looked strange.
I would have LOVED a true glitter topper
Let’s go Monochrome!
Hi Jon
@@StateofKait Hi Kait 👋
Teak looks good color wise
Teak was the only one that performed well so I think the darker shades like Prairie are probably good
I'm not gonna lie, these eyeshadow are for people like me who don't want a bunch of color payoff but instead a there not there shadow. So there has to be a market for them.
Totally! I’m not the ideal customer but I acknowledge one exists
I’m so confused by these! There’s a Glossier store where I live so I’m getting curious enough to go look at them in person 🤣
I’m confused too! If they had added one more shade, tweaked the formula to be more pigmented, and made the components modular - this would have been a 10/10 hit for me. :/
@@StateofKait but they do look beautiful on you so the effort paid off!
@@augustmoonrae5407 hahaha thank you
This was a great video!! Good job 👍🏻 stinks that the palette are inconsistent though. The color stories are pretty :/ new friend. Hope we can stay connected 🙂♥️
Thank you!
I was just going to comment that Almond reminds me of Amber Rush and then you confirmed that was in fact true 😂 - Britta
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂
💗💗💗
The grandma imitation 🤣
Hehehehe
The almond satin doesn’t even look like it’s there 😩
I was SO MAD
Your pup 🐶 looks unimpressed by the shade range 🥰🥳😂
Lol Thumper is always unimpressed.
And I love the shades! Just not the formula haha
Nice you are very gorgeous and a beauty ❤️❤️
For real, just make them rectangles then and use up the whole space. Or make that fourth one a primer or something? Anything? The design drives me bonkers there’s a hundred ways to have done this better!
same, it's such a weird choice
I found this release lackluster to begin with. I don’t think I’d use 3 formulas of the same shade to begin with, but after watching your review, I’m really unimpressed with their performance. They could have released duos based on your review.
Yeah I agree :/
Damn I grabbed a palette to get free shipping before even looking for the reviews online bcs i really like how the Almond palette looks like on the site. EVERY single person who reviews this is disappointed. I wish I had gotten the balms instead dammit.
Oh no. I too really love the colours in the almond palette. I was going to get it. This is so disappointing
The color is stunning! I wish it had more impact
Seems like Glossier is coasting with this release but I don’t get why… we can buy better eyeshadows literally anywhere nowadays!! These palettes are so disappointing, this formula lacks dimension, it comes off as unsophisticated.
I agree. I totally understand that their whole vibe is sheer - just look at the lidstars and skywashes, but powder eyeshadows are SO standard everywhere that you just can’t produce such a subpar product like this.
I can see why you are frustrated! Thanks for the review.
Anytime! I'm worried I'll get comments from people saying that Glossier intended to make a sheer powder eyeshadow but the way the models look says otherwise.
Yeah I wasn’t impressed by this AT ALLLL lol they’re cute but do I need? Nahhhh. Loved this review though my friend 🖤
Thanks for watching!! Yeah they're pretty but unremarkable.
