Lorac Pro Palette Dupes♥

As much as I would love to own the Lorac Pro 1 & 2 eyeshadow palettes, it's my money that yells no at me. At £30 each, they are quite steep, and not exactly the most affordable palettes out there. That's where I love dupes. A well-known drugstore makeup brand that produces brilliant quality products, many of which are dupes for highend products, is Makeup Revolution. I must have stood a good ten minutes "ooh-ing" and "ahh-ing" at the stand over which palette to get, but in the end, I settled for the Iconic Pro 1 and Iconic Pro 2.

The palettes both look the same. The packaging is the same standard as the other Makeup Revolution - black, matte and has gold writing on it. Basic, yet sleek and minimalist. The palettes come with a brush. Thankfully, it's not one of those ridiculous and useless sponge applicators - it's an actual brush. It's not too bad, which means it would be ideal to keep in the palette for travelling etc. They also come with a large mirror which is a bonus in my books. To identify every shade, the palettes come with a plastic sheet to sit over all the shadows, to give their names.

 Above, is photographed Iconic Pro 1. The first half is the lighter, more day-time appropriate shades. These are the "Jasmine" shades. With a mixture of golds, creams and browns, a variety of looks can be created. The second half is darker, more night-time appropriate shades, and are more on the smoky side. Although, the palette as a whole can be used in conjunction with one another, mixing the lighter colours with the darker colours. Majority of the colours have a metallic/glitter finish, leaving the matte colours all the more suitable for your crease.

The Iconic Pro 2 has more of a diversity of colours. Unlike the Iconic Pro 1, it cannot be distinguished into "categories" as such. No two colours are alike in this palette whatsoever. I like that there are some "out there" colours to spice things up a little - did you know I'm very adventurous? No? Learn something new everyday, ohh! - and are like an extra for changing up a look. I feel that the first half on the left of the palette are probably easier to wear on a day to day basis, but if you're feeling like you would like a bold eye look, the darker shades are ideal - they're more "mysterious".

All the shadows have a high quality of pigmentation. Sure, with some of the glitter shades I experience fallout, but that is expected from a shade consisting of glitter. Each palette retails for £6.99, and to me, I'd say that certainly is a bargain and a half. As a dupe, they perform well and I am beyond impressed.

Have you tried these palettes? Do you like them as a dupe?

  1. I absolutely love Makeup Revolution and have been using them as various dupes for ages! I find all their eyeshadows have such good pigmentation and always blend really nicely. Looks like I'll have to add these Iconic Pro palettes to my list! xx

  10. As much as I love Revolution palettes, I still suggest you to get Lorac Pro! They are by far my all time favourite shadows and that palette will last you ages! They are so creamy and buttery, just a charm to work with.

  18. These look EXACTLY like the Lorac palettes! I have the original Pro palette and love it but was only kind of "eh" about the second one so I didn't buy it. Now that I know there's a dupe, I might have to pick this Makeup Revolution one up instead! Thanks for the tip!

  20. Yet another stunning set of photographs from yourself Jasmine!! hehe! =P And how awesome to have some colours in your name...! hehe! =P It's like it was meant to be! These look good but don't appeal to me too much, mainly bc i have loads of eye shadow palettes which have the same kinda colours in which I haven't used...yeah......But i can appreciate how gorgeous they are and how many looks you could create with them!!!! =D
