So Very Worth It

I waited a long time to get this palette, debating whether I really needed another neutral(ish) palette and whether I’d really use it enough to justify the cost. I have to say- it is surprising how very much I love it and it’s quickly become one of my favorite eyeshadow palettes. The shadows work beautifully, have interesting tones that make them unique compared to the shadows I already own, and they really hold up beautifully throughout the day. I could not be happier with my purchase!

Sandy

Nice

Very convenient pallet.

Nana

A great find / Un gran descubrimiento

This palette is a gem. Just seeing it from the outside is a luxury! I was pleasantly surprised. It pigments very well and is a staple in our dressing tables. Esta paleta es una joya. Ya solo verla por fuera es un lujo! Me ha sorprendido gratamente. Pigmenta muy bien y es todo un básico en nuestros tocadores.

My everyday palette

I love all the matte shades so much, they're the only ones I use these days. The only reason why I'm not giving it four stars is that I don't like the glitter formulas. I find them hard to work with, a bit chunky, and without much payoff.

BPR

Love it!

This is the perfect palette for various eye looks including my favourite, nude. This suits my skin tone perfectly. A lot of well-known beauty brands are still not inclusive but after seeing Adeola Gboyega use it on Instagram, I was sold! This is a beaut!

Bee

Wow

This pallet is amazing!! A great colour pay-off, creamy formula, massive pans, beautiful shades/colours!! I had no problem with the components and I love the glitters. So glad I took the plunge and purchased, well worth every penny.

Jess

she's a belter

I wish I could have started my makeup collection with this. I really don't need any other palette now, it's got all the elements I want in colour and texture. The only problem for me is the pan size is so massive, I'm never going to use it up in my lifetime.

Mich86

Fantastic Palette

I absolutely love this palette. So much so that I could genuinely declutter my other palettes including my Natasha Denona Glam Palette. I purchased this with 3 of the eye wands and they work amazingly together. Lava rock is such a uniquely stunning shade and I wear it alone almost every day. I never doubted that Jamie would make great products and I can’t wait to buy more from her collection

Simone

Love It

I love it!

Claire

Huge shadows, easy blending

I'd seen a review from Lisa Potter Dixon saying that the eyeshadow pans were big but I wasn't expecting how big they are. This is great as it makes the palette really nice as easy to use. The colours blend together really well and it feels like it contains all the staple colours I've been longing for but never (before now) found. The lavarock and buff are my go to shades. I've noticed the comments on fallout so just going in gently with my brush which is fine as the colours are strongly pigmented.

Eye Palette

This palette is just stunning! All of the colors blend so easily and beautifully! I will also say that I purchased (at this point- because I will be adding to my collection) 2 blushes, 2 lipsticks, 1 high highlighter, 1 lip pencil and 2 eye wands! I am so happy with each of these products, beautifully pigmented and again just stunning!

Danielle

The best eyeshadow pallette

This is amazing, the packaging is gorgeous and the eyeshadows are so easy to apply and blend, perfect for everyday use as well as a perfect night smoke .

Carla

Favourite pallette ever!!

So I have over 20 high end eye shadow palettes and I am sooo picky with my eye shadows and all make up really and I can honestly say this is the best one I own! All the colours are perfect for me and blend sooo easy!! And as I rule I hate shimmer and I love the shimmers in this pallette could not recommend enough! ( her blushers are absolutely fab as well!)

Nina

Pretty good

Iv bought everything from Vieve apart from the eyeshadow palette due to so many mixed reviews. I finally decided to purchase it and I’m glad I did, the matte shadows are some of the best I have ever used and blend like a dream. The glitters are beautiful but can be tricky to work with so best applied with a finger or silicone brush.

Anne

Vieve Essentials

To be honest I found the colour story a bit scary when I saw the pallet online but I bought it anyway to support the lovely Jamie but surprisingly found it not scary at all once I started using it. It is actually very easy to use, very wearable colour story, blends extremely well, love the shimmers and great quality and pan size. This has now come to be my go to everyday pallett and that's even with working from home so a great purchase for me and would definitely recommend.

Patricia

Vieve pallet

I was upset when I receive my order 3 of eyeshadow from the pallet pop off. For the price of the pallet that should not be happening

Chely

My opinion

I had this palette for a month I do like the formula it did blend nicely with the mattes but the shimmer in the palette I was not too crazy about it wish they just did all mattes and when I first got it one of the eyeshadow fell out of the palette was very disappointed in that for the cost of bringing it to Canada it should be better made. Hope they fix that

Nancy

New favorite

Excellent palette! Right up there with the best palettes that I own. Beautiful colors, easy to work with, makes a stunning eye look for day or night. Didn't think I needed another palette but I did! Love it!

Phoebe Mae

Just WOW

Honestly the most pigmented and accessible pallet I’ve ever used! I’ve never been very good at eye shadow but this has every colour to do day-night looks and has literally made my makeup look flawless. Such great quality, I’d highly recommend getting it if you’re thinking of buying!

Georgie

Gorgeous palette!

Absolutely love this palette, it’s made me actually want to get up & do full face glam again. The mattes blend beautifully & the shimmers are really stunning. I use the NYX glitter glue prior to using shimmers which was a little tip Jamie gave in one of her vids & it’s prevented any fallout. Well done Jamie looking I’m forward to new Vieve releases :-)

Tyla - Cult Concierge

My new go to palette!

I knew this palette would be great as I have always followed Jamie for her gorgeous artistry and aesthetic but it far exceeded my expectations in that I can't seem to reach for anything else recently! The colour theory is so versatile and flexible in the style of makeup you can create, from grunge to glam, 'snatchural' to full smoke. I have even used CIAO and COSY for a more editorial style blush and it was stunning on the cheeks. The mattes are a dream to blend, and the glimmers have a high intensity to them that really reflect off any light. My only feedback would be perhaps the glittery shades could be pressed slightly more compact to reduce the little fallout they have, but even so they're totally workable and have a high impact. The packaging is sleek, sophisticated, lightweight and compact. Perfect to travel and store efficiently. I'm so excited to see what else VIEVE launches, I can tell they're going to be a 'cult' favourite of mine.

Olivia

Absolute class

I hesitated getting this palette for ages because the reviews were so hit and miss. But I keep seeing beautiful looks with it so I went for it. The colour story here is beautiful, I know it's a neutrals palette but I just didn't have anything else quite like it. Other palettes miss out either the brights or the transition shades. This one is really well-thought-out and easy for a non-MUA to come up with a look - that's what I call proper curation. You can tell this is Jamie Genevieve's personal touch or 'brand', she seems super genuine and has really tried to give people the best, and I think this accounts for the popularity of this palette even though it looks like a few people have had duds. For anyone sniffing at the price, I winced at it too but now I've tested the palette I am quite happy to have paid for that personal touch - it makes such a difference in comparison with other palettes where I just don't know where to start. The mattes are absolutely STUNNING, I don't have any other palette that gives such payoff. I just had to tap my brush once and got enough to cover my whole eyelid. They're super pigmented and blend beautifully, individually and with each other. The palette itself is very pleasant to use, nicely weighted and with a mirror that allows you to see the full face (surprisingly rare!). I had no fallout or the dreaded AWOL shadow pans. I did an absolutely perfect smoky eye on my first try and if you had any idea how gammy-handed I am, you would know how good this palette is. I'm only giving it 4 stars because the two gold shimmer shades Karat & Thea were a bit fussy and I had difficulty picking them up even with a wet brush. They do look gorgeous, and I suspect they're better with finger application. So by no means bad shadows per se, but they're not up to the standard of the mattes, or indeed of the light shimmer shade, Glimmer, which had an amazing payoff. All in all, hats off to the Vieve team, I'm really excited to support this brand with future collections.

Zee

Really is an essential

This palette 100% you can rely on. I find myself reaching for it most of the time. Honestly appreciate the black in there!! You always need black in an essential palette!

Michelle

The best palette & the only one I need

Great pigment, super easy to blend and the most beautiful shades! My new favorite Palette!

Vickii

It's a nope from me...

The mattes are OK I like the big pan size but the shimmers are rubbish. Not only that but the pans fall out! Waste of money for me. Sorry, Jamie.

Jai

Awful

Awful so Dissatisfied please don’t waste your money on this it’s so expensive

Karoliina

It's fine, but nothing special. The mattes are nice, but again, nothing you can't get elsewhere for cheaper. The shimmers are so crumbly, they don't stick to my eyes no matter how I apply them (I've tried with my fingers, with a brush, and with a damp brush). The lightest shimmer is nice though. Overall, kind of disappointed but I guess it is just the first launch, hopefully, they'll fix the shimmer shadow formula because it is so difficult to work with. Not really worth the money, unfortunately.

Flo

Underwhelmed

This is a regretted purchase for me. I’m not familiar with the influencer behind the brand and just picked this up on a whim without doing my usual thorough research before making purchases online... the quality simply isn’t there for me and doesn’t justify the price, from the patchy mattes that I can’t get to blend to the shimmer shades that don’t have any colour pay off and are more like chunky glitter toppers than shadow (and with a lot of subsequent fallout), to the cardboard packaging with a ‘pleather’ exterior... I’m struggling to find anything I like about this palette besides the large mirror on the interior. The colour story is practically the same as ABH Modern Renaissance/Soft Glam, both of which I would recommend over this palette.

Nneka - Cult Beauty Staff

A Black Girl friendly essential palette

This palette is simply fantastic. Literally, I was so impressed when I got mine in the mail. The shades look beautiful on brown skin without any horrid greyness or ashiness. I am so impressed at the fact that Jamie Genevieve was able to create something that took ALL women into consideration, (from all races and ethnicities) because it should be the norm, and she's proven that it's doable if you care enough to. Well done girl and thank you!

Lisa D

The best eyeshadow Palette EVER!

OK, so I've been a makeup artist since 2001. I've used many, many eyeshadow palettes and pigments throughout the years. No matter how much Primer I use (on my self) my lids ALWAYS crease and the eyeshadow loses it's pigment. This Palette is HUGE and the pans are also HUGE. You only need a tiny amount on your brush and the pigments blend beautifully. No fallout. The shimmers are very intense and there is no need to use a Concealer to do a cut crease or spotlight eye. This is a beauty MUST HAVE!

Caz M

Stunning

What a gorgeous palette. Every single colour is gorgeous & will suit every skin tone - day to night. You get so much product for your money. The pigments are insanely good & virtually no fall down. Thank you, Jamie! I look forward to your next palette!

Wayne Goss

Amazing

Can I just say this palette is truly essential! The shades are gorgeous. They glide on the skin. The pigment is AMAZING and best yet you are getting a HUGE amount of product for your money. This palette is truly what eyeshadow palettes should be. Love it.

Faye

A staple

The pans are huge (way bigger than I was expecting even based on review/videos!), the pigment and blend-ability is amazing and the colour palette is a dream. Very quickly become my everyday palette and loads of looks can be created!

Katie

amazing!!

So impressed with this! The colours are super transitional and versatile - that's why it's essential I guess! The pans are huge too! I found the formula super buttery and blendable, so easy to use and pigmented. My only gripe and the reason I didn't give it 5 stars is one of the pans felt out as soon as I opened it - luckily it didn't break, but something for the brand to look into and improve, which should be easy enough. Great value for money and I'm overall really impressed.

Aimee

Brilliant

Easy to use and looks fab!

Amber

I was a skeptic

I was nervous and jumped at one of the sales Cult Beauty holds and regardless of what people had to say about the pigmentation this is an absolute dream. The pan sizes are ginormous and the colors are gorgeous. The shimmers do have a more rough texture but they work beautifully as topers and can build up beautiful to their pigmentation

Clara

Heaven In A Pallet

This pallet has your back whether you’re a full grungy glam queen or an enhance your natural beauty pal. The pans are enormous, the mattes blend perfectly, and the shimmers are stunning. 100% recommend.

Liv

Glimmer falls out

Can’t deny how usable all of the shades are. In a new minimalist phase, I’m getting rid of all of my expired old palettes and streamlining my collection around this. However, the Glimmer shade keeps falling out of my palette which is annoying and takes away from the USP of being able to hold the palette in one hand and flip it over to use the mirror (like how Jamie did in the Sunday Times Style video). It must be a manufacturing issue as I’ve seen a similar problem in reviews on YouTube and my friend has experienced similar. The shimmer shades without wetting the brush or with a finger are kinda underwhelming, but I don’t think in a post-pandemic world we’re all after super sparkly eyeshadows anyway.

GiGi

Happy customer!

Love this palette, a fabulous mix of colours and very pigmented. Can go more subtle or up the glam. Big palette but light to carry when travelling. Thumbs up from me :) x

JustLJ

Perfect palette

This palette does not disappoint. The size of the pan for each colour is much larger than I expected so there is the first WIN. The shades in this palette are incredible and perfect for creating a smoky eye. However I’ve found that wearing one shadow on its own is really impactful and evokes a simple glamour. If you like these shades - buy it. They’re top notch quality.

Mol

Great matte formula, but shimmers don't live up

I wanted to try and use more warm colours, so I bought this. If you watch Jamie, you know she's queen of warm neutrals and smoky eyes, so I'm not surprised at how good the mattes are in this. It's great to have big sized pans of workhorse neutrals on hand. However, I'm hesitant to rebuy after this because the shimmer shades just aren't worth it. They're comparable to a below-average high street formula. I hope Vieve create matte shadow quads in the future, because I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

Tiff

Best yellow toned & high quality basic colours!!

So glad I got this product! I have a blue-toned-red face and wanted to use a moderate yellow colour to cover my red tone, so I bought this one. It's so much more beautiful in a hand than in the ad photos! The powder quality is great. It's the best powder quality I've seen since Kevin Aucoin's one. It's smooth and free of any patchy. The ivory colour can be so cute when layered over neutral colours. BUFF is the ideal camel colour. LAVAROCK is an elegant taupe that won't smudge on blue-toned or pinkish faces, just as it looks. GOODNIGHT is a black colour that doesn't smudge on the face and it almost lasts all day! If I had to say something, I'd say they should release a new product soon.

Lena

Favourite palette of 2020

I have many eyeshadow palettes but since receiving this one, I have not touched anything else. Perfect for an everyday brown smokey eye or a dramatic evening look. The matts are amazing, the shimmers aren't the best I have ever used but they still work very well.

Zena

Awesome palette

This is such a great palette, I love it for every day

Court

Beautiful colours, huge fallout

I love the style, size and colours of the palette however the fallout is terrible. I’m never too fussed with this however the amount that comes out is to the extreme. I’ll still use but for the price I just don’t think it cuts it, I also found it a little harder to work with than other palettes, a bit underwhelmed but willing to stick with it and give it another chance!

Alex

Decent

Purchased this on the spur of the moment. Did not really need this range of colors as I already have neutrals for every day wear but saw a fair number of people loving it. I am not disappointed with the quality. It blends like you would expect it to, most colors pack a good punch. I just can't say it blew me away.

Noor

Good quality, great neutral colours

Love this palette. The colour story is great and works really well on my medium neutral complexion. The mattes blend extremely well and the palette itself is huge!! I give it 4 stars since the shimmers, although gorgeous, are a bit difficult to work with. Overall, it is a great palette and I'm deffs going for the blushes and highlight!!

Vicky

Lovely

It is a lovely palette and the mattes are dreamy. The more shimmery shades just have that bit too much glitter in them for me. Still worth the buy but just keep that in mind.

Gracie

Perfect for Everyday, Any Day

I knew I wanted this palette as soon as Jamie announced it as I just love her as a person and wanted to show support and the color story was right up my alley. Due to my horrible memory, by the time I went to pick it up it was sold out. So while I was waiting for it to come into stock I continued watching Jamie’s videos for inspiration as well as reviews. Although some people had some issues I purchased as soon as it came back into stock. I am so glad I did. It’s one of my favs and I have tons of palettes. First off the shipping to the US was super quick. My palette arrived in perfect condition. Thank you Cult Beauty. The color story, the texture, blendability, and pigment are perfect. I have been using it consistently since I bought it. If you like neutral palettes this is The essential palette. Bravo Jamie

Lauren

Amazing palette!

I was bit hesitant about getting this palette at first as I wasn’t sure if I’d use all the shade but wanted to try Vieve. It didn’t disappoint at all the shades are beautiful, so pigmented and the palette was bigger than I was expecting so you get so much for your money! So glad I bought this, a new staple.

Sarah

It’s named the essential for a reason

This palette is fantastic, with a great range of shades that allow you to create so many looks. The formula is great, blends out perfectly, and builds easily depending on the look you’re going for. As an added bonus the pans are huge so the palette will last for ages before you need to replace it.

Jessica

Perfect Palette

I don't exactly know what it is about this palette but I just had to have it. I knew I would love it and I do. With a whole drawer of Natasha Denona and Pat McGrath, I find myself only wanting to use this palette. My favourite thing about it is how easily everything blends and how perfectly blown out and smokey I can make my look with the smallest effort. I love the colour choices. It's just perfect and easy to use.

Agi

Eyeshadow palette

I have the same problem that many other customers have: - the pan (for shade ‘Glimmer’) fell out of the palette (cracked and half of it went down the sink, unfortunately) - there is so much fall out in the pan from the moment you touch them The colours are beautiful, the pans are big, but still, I cannot recommend this palette. I also bought one of the lipsticks and that’s very nice.

Hayley

Not worth more than £15

I love Jamie on YouTube and thought wow she is going to make amazing makeup because of how experienced she is in the industry, well I was very very wrong. There is so much fall out in the pan from the moment you touch them. The shimmer/glitter shades do not pick up on the makeup brushes even when they are wet. You have to use your finger and even then they are nothing special. The black is not well pigmented once on the eye and you have to keep building it up. The colour pay off on the eyelid (with and without primer) is not good at all. This lack of quality meant it took me twice as long to do my eyeshadow than normal. I am so gutted I asked for her makeup for Christmas as my mum has now wasted £100+ on makeup I will barely use again. I expected so much more. Please take my advice and SAVE YOUR MONEY! Buy eyeshadow from Nars or Urban Decay.

Dan

Love Jamie, but this palette is a no from me.

The palette is honestly beautiful looking, colours look stunning but I had one eyeshadow fall out and smashed a bit and then some of the colours just didn’t blend out the way I would hope they would for this price. The kickback of these eyeshadows is crazy as well. So wanted to love this eyeshadow palette but no, her lipsticks etc are beyond amazing! But this was a major miss for me.

MrsAitch

Out of this world

I usually find palettes so underwhelming. I hovered over this for a bit. I then saw a few makeup bods that I respect saying good things and thought oh go on then. Amazing They blend beautifully and the fill is huge! You get a lot for your money and the quality is fantastic.

Ikz

Hmmm..

I love Jamie but I’m a little disappointed in this palette. When I first received, the pan for shade ‘Glimmer’ fell out of the palette which I’ve seen many others have the same problem with. The matte shades are beautiful but the shimmers are not very good. I can’t get the shimmers to stick to my eye at all!! Have to go in with tons of spray to even get a little sparkle. The shimmers are so chunky they fall out off the pan and get on your face when applying. Hoped for more.

Sam

Vieve Eyeshadow Palette

Love Jamie and what she does! Like the lipstick and liner, also like the eyeshadows, nice colours and lots of pigment. Unfortunately, 4 of the eyeshadows fell out when this was opened which was not great due to this being a present! Had to stick them back in with superglue carefully so as not to crack or disturb the powder. A little embarrassing and not great considering the price. A bit disappointed.

May

Doesn’t work for me

This isn’t a good palette for me. The metallic shades fall down my face, even with a glitter glue base, and the mattes are really chalky and too powdery. There’s a lot of pigment that falls on my face whenever I use and no matter what brush I use, I don’t get an even blend. I’ve tested a lot since this arrived and I just can’t get it to work. I don’t have this problem with other brands and from the reviews, it seems to be an anomaly. Unfortunately, it was a waste of money for me.

Char

Amazing

Really is the essential palette! Pan size is impressive compared to most palettes I own and the amount of looks I've created already is amazing. Will definitely be trying the rest of the range. Highly recommend!!

Olivia - Cult Beauty Staff

I mean, step aside everything else.

This palette is just, wow. From pan size to blend-ability and colour palette, even the outer packaging. I had high expectations, I knew I was going to be a little bias, but this is really something else. I'm not a winged liner person and normally shy away from doing it with anything other than a pen but, I used Goodnight as a liner and oh my goodness, I didn't realise a shadow could be so easy to use? Not only is it the blackest of black that gives some of the OG's a run for their money it made the liner so easy to do that I actually liked the wing on myself! All of the colours have instant pigment that I did a simple every day look in a matter of minutes and a night out in less than 10! I can't say enough good things, it's the perfect palette for beginners but pro-MUA's and beauty loves will adore this.

Sofia - Cult Beauty Staff

Nothing short of incredible

This palette must be made with fairy dust and angel hair or something because I am genuinely perplexed as to how the brand has managed to make a formula this amazing. Every single colour has super pigmented, the rich colour payoff in a buttery, blendable formulation - and don’t even get me started on the black shade! Smokey and deep, this is the kind of black eyeshadow I’ve been searching for. I think this is a suit all palette - perfect for novices, experts, and everyone in between. As you can tell - I’m impressed! I would highly recommend picking one of these up.
