Beauty Look | Anastasia Beverly Hills Palette - Cool Mauve #Makeup Look - #ModernRenaissance Eyeshadow Palette



In the past, for me to be able to achieve a cool toned eyeshadow look, on my skin tone was challenging. The reason it would be difficult is that either the shadows weren't pigmented enough or I had to layer a lot of primer/concealer to get the shadows to look right.

Even though at first glance, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette looks like a warmer palette, there are a few colours in the palette, that allowed me to create this cool mauve look.

Check it out below!

Product Love | #AnastasiaBeverlyHills Modern Renaissance Palette



Finally!! I have this baby!!

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this Eye shadow palette!  I wanted to see the reviews and makeup looks first before I got it. This is the method I use for my makeup purchases and it's never failed me yet. Once I saw the reviews and the makeup looks, I then headed to Sephora to see the palette in person. As soon as I saw the palette, I was sold!

I have to say, this is my first Anastasia Beverly Hills product purchase, which initially, I thought would have been an eye brow product, since those were the products that put ABH on the map! Bus as ABH started to expand their product offering to other makeup, I was intrigued! 

Without further delay, check out the Modern Renaissance Palette by ABH below:







I really like the mix of matte and shimmer shades in this palette as well as the 2 sided brush, which for me, is a bonus!  Below is my overall impression:


  • Pigmented Colours
  • Minimal Fallout
  • Good blendability
  • Loved the velvety packaging
  • 2 ended Brush is a plus for travelling
  • You can create soft natural looks to super dramatic eye looks




So far this palette is a WIN! To celebrate, I will be sharing a number of makeup looks in the next few days. The looks will be a variety of neutral, soft and super glam looks, which I am excited to share!

Stay tuned!
