The ones that are in this palette perform well on the eyes but not all of them swatch nicely. These are colours I feel safe in and they’re colours that flatter brown skin and brown eyes.


In terms of colours, I’m drawn mostly towards the green section and the purple section. It was perfectly sized for my inner corner and my brow though so that’s what I’ve been using it for since. I tried using the flat side on my eyes also but it’s a bit too small to really do the whole thing. I usually use the brushes in my palettes for swatches but I had some trouble getting swatches as good as with a sponge tip and that’s saying something. It’s a marked improvement on a sponge tip, and if you’re in a squeeze you can definitely use it, but it’s not the best. You just can’t.Īs well as the regular humungous mirror we’ve all come to depend on, you do also get a teeny tiny double ended brush included. now, it’s no Urban Decay x Gwen palette or anything as swanky as say Tom Ford or Charlotte Tilbury, but look at this palette, if you own it, feel this palette and try telling me that there’s better packaging out there for £9.99 at the drugstore. It’s heavier, and much more luxurious feeling. It’s not metal but it is a much denser material that “sounds” metallic when you tap it with a finger nail. Instead of regular black shiny palettes, we have this sleek gold offering. The packaging for this palette is unlike any that Makeup Revolution has offered before.

I (Jane) hope that it’s the kind of palette that you really feel you can sit down and experiment with and identify what shades really bring out your eye colour and compliment your tone. What you’ll find in Fortune Favours The Brave is light sheens and mattes, metallic bursts of colour heading through to the darkest shades of black, plum and navy. From the lightest of brightening base colours to the darkest, most daring shades of navy, black and green and everything in between, Fortune is the most versatile, every-age, every-tone palette yet. I said I wasn’t going to be continuing the Makeup Revolution Monday series for a few weeks but today just happens to be MUR’s official birthday so I had to break that hiatus!! Here’s to many more years of drugstore domination! Keep giving us palettes as gorgeous as this and we’ll stay loyal forever! Thirty shades of matte, glimmer and sheen combine in one golden palette for an every which-way smoky eye.

The palette is a complete labour of love which really shows in the overall quality. If you’re the kind of person that follows every beauty release then you’ll know that two weeks ago Makeup Revolution released a collaboration palette with Jane, the BritishBeautyBlogger.
