Lorac Pro Palette 2 Review and Demonstration

I know it’s overdue, but I finally am ready to do a review of the Lorac Pro Palate 2. I bought this (for myself) for Christmas after reading some good reviews, but every girl has a different type of skin and method of using makeup. I’ve had people ask me how to do a smokey eye with eye shadow, so I’m making this post into a review and a tutorial all in one. First the review.

I really enjoy and recommend this palate to anyone and everyone who has any type of knowledge on how to apply makeup. The shadows are SO rich in pigments. You will require so little amount of shadow to make a big impact. That is the reason why I stipulate for users who are decently practiced at putting on makeup. You’re going to need a bunch of different brushes and know how to use them, because the smallest mistake with this palate and you’re going to need some makeup remover, it’s that rich in pigments. That’s the downside, but the positive side is that you (and I hopefully) will have this palate forever. The palate comes with a magnetic closure and a mirror in the upper portion for travel purposes. That’s another thing… travel. Lorac has seemed to accommodate for those who are on the go but I wouldn’t recommend taking this palate too far from its resting spot unless you have some bubble wrap.

Those who know me know that I’m clumsy. I am terrified of dropping the Pro Palate 2 because I know all the shadows will shatter everywhere. I was being serious when I mentioned bubble wrap. When I have to travel, I will be wrapping it up! It’s too nice to leave behind, but too nice to let get ruined.

I did not do any swatches for you in this review. Honestly, the internet is full of them and all they basically prove is that what you see is what you get with this palate. The pigments are going to be exactly on your skin as what you see in the case. Here are some links to other who have done some swatches for you.

Now, I did a purple smokey eye in these pictures, but I did use several of the colors in the palate. I didn’t take pictures after each shadow, but I will note which colors I did use. 

So, overall, I do recommend this palate to those who have to brushes and some experience. To those who don’t have the experience or the tools, Lorac makes other 3 shadow preset palates (I own 2 of them) that are so easy to use and come with a two sided brush and instructions. If anyone wants information on those, the Pro Palate 2, or anything else remotely related, leave a comment!
