Hi guys! Today I wanted to share with you a review, swatches and a look using the Lorac Pro Eye Palette. In the summer I had picked up the Lorac Pro 2 Palette, about a month ago my parents gifted me the original as a thank you for animal-sitting for them (thank you!!!). Now, you may be thinking, another neutral palette?! Why would one need another neutral palette? If you have tried Lorac’s eye shadow you will understand why. I have never experienced eye shadow like this.
The Lorac Pro Palette contains 16 eye shadows, one row of matte shades and one row of shimmer shades. The palette is mostly neutral with a few pops of colour. When you look at the palette, you would assume the shimmers would be the star of the show, and they are quite beautiful. They glide onto the lids effortlessly. However, the real gems are the matte shades! They blend like an absolute dream. The shades are all pigmented and although I haven’t tried, they can also be applied wet. I always wear my eye shadow over primer so I can’t really speak to wear time as I find all of my shadows wear consistently.

Overall, if you didn’t guess, I love this palette. It is the same quality and amazingness that I experienced with the Lorac Pro 2 Palette. So why another neutral palette? Because with quality shadows like this, I would gladly make room in my collection. Lorac Pro Palette, you’ve got an admirer for life. I just wish Lorac was easier to get your hands on in Canada.

So unusual that the mattes are the stars of the show! But this is precisely why I need this palette in my life! You can never have too many neutral eye shadows, I always say! 😉
I own a couple of Lorac single shadows which I found at Winners a long time ago… I wish we can get Lorac here!
Which do you prefer though, the original or #2?

I like them both equally quality-wise 😁 I think at the end of the day it comes down to shade preference. I might like the second one a little tiny bit more because of it has a beautiful light purple and a pretty silver shade.

Man, I wish I could get my grubby hands on Lorac. They need to come to Canada!
Also, that lipstick is gorgeous on you!

I love this palette too – it really is fantastic. I needed to set it aside because it’s all I want to use. It’s everything you need and nothing you don’t! 🙂
