I appreciate you saving me a lot of money. I have been listening to all of the YTers freaking out over these palettes but I’ve held back. I’d prefer to spend my money on something that gets a more full throated endorsement.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard the phrase “full throated endorsement” before I’ll have to look it up 😊 I can’t speak for anyone else’s experience but I always try to be as transparent as possible
I bought this palette right before they discontinued it and mine did not have issues at all where the mattes were concerned. I use Mac cosmetics primer and do. It ever set my primer. I love both palettes and have enjoyed the mattes . I agree about the shimmers as well. They are stunning
This is sort of..kind of..off topic but I have mature, 48 yr old eyes. When I apply a matte shade, I always begin with a pat, pat, motion to lay the shadows down. Then I can begin with a sweeping motion. As we age, sometimes the skin just moves with the brush, causing striping. I believe I heard you say that you did try the patting motion but the mattes were still causing you problems. Your skin is very young and elastic but I thought I might share my tip with others :)
Yes I go back and forth sometimes I go right in with blend and sometimes I pat first. I found with these shades when I patted first the color wouldn’t want to move or blend
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. for posting this video and listening to my comment! Wow I woke up this morning to put on some RUclips while getting ready and I saw this video and I am dumbfounded. I am eternally grateful to you. On a related note, I was going to pick up the archeo but now I am not. I’m now debating getting the paleo cuz it’s mostly shimmers which work better. I just don’t know. Should I just wait for the stained glass collection and skip these palettes?
You’re welcome!!! Thank you for reminding me to be productive lol 😂😂 Honestly I would probably just recommend picking up some of their single shadows and trying them out. Especially the shimmers in the 66.5 collection and the shade sol! I can’t speak to the Stained Glass collection.
I know Lacie from Spooky Lips and Fat Hips compared the mattes to Subculture so I don't think they're everyone's cup of tea. I have the Archeo and Paleo palettes plus a bunch of other mattes and I don't find them particularly different, but they are powdery. However, I enjoy them. Some can be patchy but I love the blend!
Yes if I remember correctly she also had some problems with them being skippy but I think she said she was able to make them work. I’m glad they work for you overall 😊
I appreciate that you don't rave about products or make excuses for poor performance just because they are from an indie brand. I have yet to try Clionadh but so many people seem to put them on a bit of a pedestal that I'm not sure if I would just end up underwhelmed :')
Of course! I want a great product no matter where I buy it from and I couldn’t recommend anything with a clear conscious unless it was actually good. Personally I would recommend trying their metallic formula. I think they are very unique and foiled.
Another beautiful palette that I can't buy. I love the first cool toned look. Also I see you're using more often colourful lipsticks and they suit you a lot.
I got my Archeo palette from the restock they had before Christmas, and I haven't had any of the problems you are talking about - I think the mattes work just fine. I use mine over Urban Decay primer potion.
I will have to try it with the UD primer potion then. I rarely use eyeshadow primers like that but I really want to get this palette to work for me. Thanks for the suggestion!
Panther West Same, though I got mine in the restock before the Christmas one. I really enjoy my palette, have never had any issues, and I also use the UD primer. So yeah, perhaps the primer really does make a difference.
So glad I watched this video this morning instead of later, if I'd missed the last Paleo restock ever I would've been heartbroken the hand painted palettes just kill me, so hope I get on it in time
I really appreciate it, I'm so excited! Honestly when I got done with work and checked and they were still available I was shocked with how sought after they are.
I just started the video. I can't wait for the next restock of these palettes! For a long time I really wanted to buy the Paleo and the archeo but I really wish the Paleo had more mattes. I still know that I definitely want the archeo because like the matte to shimmer ratio. But I'm kind of on the fence with the Paleo now because I just don't use all shimmer palettes very often. And I know it's not All shimmer, I just wish there were more mattes ..... Edit, so they're back in stock today? Well, that sucks. I can't make the purchase today and they'll probably sell out before my next pay. So that blows. Ah well, what can ya do...
@@AmyLovesMakeup it's true. I know the owner said they are doing the biggest restock they've ever done, but I'm sure they will still sell out quickly. Ah well. If I miss it, I'll be ready later on this year for whenever they come back
Hi. Sorry, but I've tried searching and I can't find your review of the Paleo palette? I'd love to take a look at it in order to make my decision. Thanks so much for doing all this work for us!💗
No problema! Here’s the link for the video. It might have been hard to find because it’s not a dedicated review: ruclips.net/video/5a-3EuBSsQc/видео.html
This was very interesting. I ordered some singles from Clionadh, there were some from the Dreamweaver bundle and some of the 66,5 North bundle, and I had one matte (Daydream) that was exactly like you described. It just dusted off when I tried to blend, and it was super disappointing because in the pan it's just a beautiful purple shade. On the lower lash line it worked super well. I really wish to find a way to make it work somehow in the crease as well.
Thank you for this review. I hadn’t really seen any new ones of the Archeo palette except for spooky lips and fat hips, but she has the one that was pressed differently. I’ve been on the fence about this and your review solidified that I’m not gonna pick it up. But I definitely still want to try Clionadh and they have gorgeous singles.
I think the worst matte of them all is the blue one since it’s dull and patchy. I personally got this palette back when it first released, and I do agree the mattes are not up to par with my favorites like ABH and Juvia’s, not as vibrant and creamy, but they’re still good. I use TF sculpting concealer as a primer and don’t set it, I get mostly nice results from the mattes. Great review!
Thanks for this i only got their shimmers and didn't go for any mattes because they'd be too expensive to not love so i'll use other mattes with my single shimmers
Hmm. I wonder if there’s a difference between batches, or perhaps it’s your primer. I got both the Paleo and Archeo palettes last year, two restocks ago (not including this one!), and I haven’t had any issues. I swear by the Urban Decay primer potion, and I don’t set it.
Do all of their mattes perform like the ones in these palettes? Or do some of their other mattes perform better? I've been really curious about this brand and I've been wanting to try it for sometime but I do like to use mattes with my shimmers! Have you tried other mattes with their shimmers in metalics? Do they work well together?
Beautiful looks (despite the challenges with the mattes)! Since you mentioned using the Essence primer in one of the looks, I wanted to ask about it, as I've been curious. Is it a tacky base primer, or is it more smooth/quick-drying like the Milani primer? I've found that I gravitate more towards primers like the Milani, so wondered how it compared. (I'm willing to sacrifice pigment a bit for easier blending.) 😉🖌 👀🎨
FYI it is \'lī-ken\ and is a fungus that grows on bark or rocks. Have been loving greys lately and love them on you. I have very pigmented lips that seem to turn lipsticks pinker on me but seeing how deep red and beautiful Pinot looks on you think I'll try it. Looking forward to hear if Urban Decay primer helps with blending the mattes.
Its interesting I tried this palette and I thought the formula was very impressive. Very pigmented and seemed to blend itself. Maybe the palettes aren't consistent. Did you buy this palette on its original launch, cos thats when I bought mine?
I definitely agree that some of the 66N mattes seem not as vivid and are harder to work with. Their shimmers are stunning in that collection for the most part. Thanks so much for your honesty. I don't plan on picking either of these up but really hope they release as singles!💚🦁
I am so behide when comes to new makeup but i am so into eyeshadows palettes. But theres just so many coming out can't keep up. And brands never heard from❤❤❤🐶🐶🐶
Amy, may I ask a question about how you respond to comments? I’ve noticed that sometimes a question is asked and you don’t reply but still heart it; what’s the reason for this? I am in no way trying to be rude or shady or make you feel bad-I honestly just want to know. I’ve seen many yters do the same and some just heart comments without reading them! Do you think the heart response is a way to “satisfy” subs without really interacting with them or putting much work into it? I know you can’t speak for others but maybe you can shed some light for me. I don’t clump you in with other yters because I believe you to be honest and you’ve quickly become one of my favs. I really am curious. Thanks ❤️
So I’ve reached the point where I get a lot of comments and it is impossible to reply to every single one of them without spending my entire day on my phone. I use the heart option to show that I read the comment. I do read every single one. I try to reply to as many as possible especially really long comments or comments with an immediate question. I don’t find your comment rude in any way but it is important to remember that answering every comment can be extremely time consuming and I’m sure many other RUclipsrs use it the same way that I do. It’s a quick way to acknowledge a comment because I genuinely do appreciate every single person who takes the time to write me something. I don’t remember seeing a question and not replying to it but I’m simply human.
Amy Loves Makeup I completely understand not being able to reply to everyone. I can see that you spend a lot of time in comment section responding and I appreciate that! Thanks for the response
Thank you for being so honest about this palette. It has changed my mind on trying it. You look stunning in a red lip!
Thank you! And yes I was sad to not give it a glowing review. I really tried my best to get it to work for me.
I appreciate you saving me a lot of money. I have been listening to all of the YTers freaking out over these palettes but I’ve held back. I’d prefer to spend my money on something that gets a more full throated endorsement.

I saw the upcoming release and immediately went to your channel to check for a review. Thank you! 🐘
That’s awesome! Glad I could help!! 😊

Totally random but an ad during this video was for lasagna and now I realllly want lasagna ;)
Well now I want lasagna 😂😂
Great video Amy! I really want to try some of the upcoming Jewelled Multichromes by Clionadh Cosmetics!

I will have to try it with the UD primer potion then. I rarely use eyeshadow primers like that but I really want to get this palette to work for me. Thanks for the suggestion!
I really hope it helps and that it's not a result of some sort of variation between batches. It's a shame not to be able to enjoy such pretty colors.
Panther West Same, though I got mine in the restock before the Christmas one. I really enjoy my palette, have never had any issues, and I also use the UD primer. So yeah, perhaps the primer really does make a difference.
I only have 2 mattes from them period, one i like and one i kinda hate. And the one i like has been discontinued😅
Omg! That blue look stole my heart. Also, lichen is pronounced "like-in" (I only know that cause I'm Canadian lmao)
Thank you for telling me 😊
You always give great honest reviews. Love the red lip on you ! 💄🐱
Thank you ❤️
So glad I watched this video this morning instead of later, if I'd missed the last Paleo restock ever I would've been heartbroken
the hand painted palettes just kill me, so hope I get on it in time
Glad I was able to update you! They are back in stock now! Yes the hand painted details are soo beautiful

Yes they will be back in stock today around noon. They just announced it a few days ago. Yeah it stinks they sell out so fast.

Dang I’m sorry you had the same experience. It’s so frustrating having a beautiful shade that won’t apply the way we want it to.

I’ve been on the fence about this and your review solidified that I’m not gonna pick it up. But I definitely still want to try Clionadh and they have gorgeous singles.
Yes I saw hers and she had some trouble with the mattes too. I definitely recommend picking up some of their shimmer singles! They’re sooo good!!
I think the worst matte of them all is the blue one since it’s dull and patchy.

In someways it’s a relief to hear I’m not the only one who has had somewhat of a problem. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thanks for this i only got their shimmers and didn't go for any mattes because they'd be too expensive to not love so i'll use other mattes with my single shimmers
You’re welcome! Their shimmers are phenomenal though so I hope you like them 😊
Amy Loves Makeup seemed like a safer bet. :)

The essence primer does dry down but it has a slight tacky finish. I would say it’s very similar to the Plouise Base but just a little thinner.
@@AmyLovesMakeup, thanks for this helpful info! 😊 💖 👍🏻

Thank you for letting me know haha! And yes I love the formula of Pinot. I’ll be doing a full video on Kalon Kosmetics soon 😊
Amy Loves Makeup Looking forward to hear about Kalon Kosmetics which is a brand I know nothing about.
Its interesting I tried this palette and I thought the formula was very impressive. Very pigmented and seemed to blend itself. Maybe the palettes aren't consistent. Did you buy this palette on its original launch, cos thats when I bought mine?
No I bought it on its third launch I believe. I’m going to try it with the UD primer potion and see if that helps.

Yes the shimmers are just so beautiful. I hope they keep working on the mattes because I do love their color stories. 😊
I have ordered some ClionadH singles but they havent shipped yet. I am so curious to see how much I will like them.
I hope you enjoy them! 😊
I am so behide when comes to new makeup but i am so into eyeshadows palettes. But theres just so many coming out can't keep up. And brands never heard from❤❤❤🐶🐶🐶
I hope she comes pit with an all shimmer palette until she fixes her matte formula. Saved my money on this one.
Yes I know they’re working on their third palette. I have my fingers crossed for a better matte formula
Love the looks you did.
Thank you 😊

I know! Whenever I buy Canadian makeup im like yes this conversion is awesome but I’m sure the reverse stinks.
Bah, all of them are out of stock
They are restocking later today.
They are in stock now
