Hi guys! Today I’ve got my first impressions of the Morphe x Kathleenlights Eye Shadow Palette for you! I hesitated posting this as the palette is currently sold out, but Morphe is still posting it on their Instagram so fingers crossed that it comes back at least one more time! If you didn’t already guess or assume, this palette was done in collaboration with YouTuber, Kathleenlights, who is one of my favourite ones to watch!
The Morphe x Kathleenlights Eye Shadow Palette is a fairly neutral palette with a few pops of colour. It contains a mix of mattes and shimmers, as well as warm tones and cool tones. What I love about this palette is that it looks like something that, if you are familiar with her channel, Kathleenlights would use all the time.
As for shadow quality, I have no complaints so far. I really enjoy my Morphe 35W palette so I knew I’d be happy with this one too. What I love about the mattes is that they are blendable and very buildable. This would be a great palette for someone starting out as it doesn’t immediately pack on the pigment so you can achieve a soft blended crease. The shimmer shades are stunning as well and look almost metallic on the lid and are buttery soft to apply.
Swatches:
The second shade doesn’t look pigmented but it’s just that it blends in with my natural skin tone. So for me it is the perfect shade to set my primer and touch up any harsh edges.

Overall, I think the Morphe x Kathleenlights Eye Shadow Palette is great and is definitely ‘beginner-friendly’. Hopefully it comes back in stock so that any one else who is interested is able to get their hands on it. In general, I find Morphe makes great affordable palettes so there is something for everyone!

Oohh! Those shades are pretty. I have never tried anything by Morphe but all the palettes look awesome. I agree, the shades look like shades she uses in her videos. Love it!

I really like Morphe, most of my go-to brushes are from them! I actually noticed they had a few of their products (and some Colourpop) in that as seen on tv or whatever it is, store in the mall! Not a huge selection but I was surprised when I saw them!

That shimmery mint green really stands in this palette, doesn’t it? That mustardy colour is interesting too. The rest of the colours are completely dupeable, and I’m sure I already own them in my collection!

The mint shade definitely stands out and it’s gorgeous! This palette really rings true to Kathleenlights and I’m so glad that it does.
