Honest and nervous, I'm never someone who really screw this up to be frank. Okay guys, so my final thoughts is this palette
User-friendly for kind of more of the average makeup enthusiast you guys welcome back. Thanks much for stopping by today
we are going to be doing a review slash demo testing out with the
ever-popular James Charles morphe
Collaboration palette this has probably been one of the most talked-about releases and makeup that I have ever
Experienced so needless to say I'm excited to dive in and give this palette my first impressions. I'm also only
Exclusively going to be using the James Charles and worthy brush set
So we're going to be testing out his brushes as well. If you would like to see me dive into this palette keep on watching

You will get notified when those go up so definitely hit that Bell. Um, alright guys, so
Judging by the title. You guys are probably wondering what that guy was talking about. Well
Here's the deal so
If you look at the make up community currently the Instagram artists the twitter artists a lot of the YouTube artists. There is some
phenomenal and
Basically mind-blowing talent out there
I mean
These people are truly truly artists in the work that they do. They're blending is impeccable their line work
It looks photoshopped it it's like ah inspiring to me
Now as you guys know if you've been following my channel
I would say I have more makeup expertise than the average person, but I am certainly not
Like the top echelon artists out there
I feel like I'm slightly more representative of like the average person purchasing this palette who maybe isn't
Maybe doesn't do Instagram for a living or YouTube for a living or makeup for a living maybe that you're not a makeup artist maybe
You just love makeup and you love to play around with it, but you don't necessarily have years and years of experience
Yes, I have a little bit more experience than average person
I have more experience than the average person but I don't feel like I'm really really
All that super gifted like some of the people out there. I'm not trying to be self-deprecating. That's just the honest - have truth
I try really hard and I think my lips turn out pretty good, but
When I'm going into this palette
I feel like you'll get a
little bit of a better idea of what you're going to experience going into this palette if you're more of just like the everyday makeup
Enthusiast, so I hope that makes sense to you guys. Um
There are a lot of insanely talented is out there who could literally make a box of crayons?
work and and they could create a makeup look because they're so just
God-given gifted or you know, they've been doing it for 20 years or something like that for me. I just don't have that ability
I can't make a terrible palette look good
I just don't I don't have that ability, unfortunately, so I'm just so so interested to see how this palette. I'm actually terrified
I'm not gonna lie. Um, but I want to see how this palette works for me who's more it was just like less
talented than
Some of the Great's out there on
Instagram and YouTube I hope that makes sense. Sorry that was a long intro if you skipped through it cool. That's fine
I just wanted to give that little disclaimer and explain the title a little bit
So basically I know for this palette that we're going to be
It's gonna be our best bet to use the Mac Paint Pot as our base
which I have and I'm going to do and I know from watching other videos that your best method for this palette is going to
Be a pressing motion as opposed to a typical blending motion like you might do with other formulas
So those are the two kind of like
Overall ideas that I'm going into this palette with other than that. I have not touched this palette
I have not swatch to this palette. I have not dipped a brush into this palette yet
so this is truly hopefully gonna be
Representative of like what you might experience when you go to open this palette when you get it for Christmas Hanukkah
Whatever it is that you're celebrating this time of year or just you know, boyfriend girlfriend. Somebody gets you it you get it yourself
Whatever enough babbling. Let's just try the shadows. So I'm just applying the Mac Paint Pot right now as my base
This is in the color painterly
I've had this Pat pop for like a really really long time, but for some reason it never dries out, which is really nice
I just got some of it in my eyebrow
So basically one thing we're testing out today is just kind of how user-friendly this palette is
Yeah, all right, hmm
Opening it up. This thing is huge you guys
It's huge I
mean all the more a few pounds are but I feel like not all of them, but like the
35 color pallets are but this is like
insanely big
Okay. So what I think we're going to do is sort of like a half cut crease
So, let me just grab my shadow shields real quick
All right. So like I mentioned I'm going to be using all of James Charles's brushes that he released
Alright, we're gonna start out with the m4 for three was a which is a brush. I own separate from this collaboration and
Okay, so you guys know that typically when I start any eye shadow look I like to just take a relatively basic color and kind
Of frame my eyelid I have hooded eyes. So this is just a step. I do a lot of times to like
Open up my eye a little bit and ensure that the bunch of the most eyelid that is possible
The most eyelid that I can possibly show is being enhanced if that makes sense so I just find that this step right here
It just kind of like helps me to
Gives me a guide
Basically, and I'm using the center shade in the middle of the pallet, which is code James
And I'm just taking this morphe
I'm up for three three and essentially doing what I pretty much always do which is take this through
the area above the crease
And I just find that this creates next dimension for the other shades. We put down and it
Doesn't really matter if it's the exact color scheme as long as it's just a good
Background shade if that makes sense, and I'm pleased with how this is going on so far
I'm not getting any patchiness, which is great. It is more of a light wash of color, but it seems to be very buildable
It's kind of like an orange toned
Brown which I tend to like I don't want to add too too much of that cuz I don't want to take it to take
Away from any colors that we decide to put over top
So
Where should we go? Next is the question honest and nervous. I'm never someone who really screw this up to be frank. Just like I
Just like a basic purple shade
And I'm going to start
Feathering that oh, yeah
So he did say very very clearly to use a pressing motion as opposed to your typical blending motion
because of the formulation of these shadows
He said that was going to be your best bet and getting the pigmentation that you want to get. So I
I think you're silly to not
You know abide by the instructions that you're given for certain palates
Even if you are a beginner to make up
There are still just basic techniques that you can use
That are going to make your life a little bit easier when it comes to utilizing a pallet
okay, so I can take a little bit of a sigh of relief because I feel like this is
Actually going okay so far. I'm not having any extreme issues yet
And
That purple is quite pretty it's not patchy. I'm pushing it in slash
Blending the edges and it's actually going quite well
so far I was
Genuinely worried because I'm not as talented as a lot of the artists out there that I was going to really amp this up
and
I let really like James Charles and I'm a fan so I
didn't want to upload a tutorial where I was not able to use his product appropriately the nice thing too guys it that is that
The purple is blending in nicely with the brown that we initially put down
There's no like weird separation happening or anything like that. So that is something that can happen when two colors get blended together
And that is not happening for us right now. So good deal. All right, so far so good. I would say I
have not managed to
Screw this up to roil yet
Yet is the key word because there is still time like in my my day to day life or anything like that
So I really sincerely apologize if this turns out looking like rainbow braids. Oh, there's anything wrong with that
We love rainbow great
Alright, so I'm taking this little M
124 which is kind of my life right now how have I not had this brush?
In my possession prior to this moment is my question because this is freaking great. It's like the perfect size and it's
So good. I
Can imagine for cutting the crease because of the stiffness and the shape? Okay
So using that pressing motion that we know is what we are supposed to be doing back in with that initial brush and just blending
The edge there blending everything together
Do you guys ever feel like when you have tape or like a shadow shield on you can't see as well I
Just feel like I can't see as well today. Like I
Know it's really weird. I
Can't really see what I'm doing
And I think it might be the glare from the window coming in and like blind me moderately blinding me
You know just moderately oh
I'm happy with this so far. Okay, so that dark purple is staying put
Meaning it's not
Blending significantly from the place which you put it so definitely
kind of use that color with caution don't
Don't put it all over with the expectation that you're going to be able to buff it out to oblivion
Just kind of place it with care
And you shouldn't have too much of an issue. But it definitely the pigmentation is amazing and it's not getting patchy. It's just
certain areas
Are a little bit more challenging to the lens?
I'm actually gonna tap in a tiny bit to the black
And just this is an M 506 this brush is also like where have you been all my life
and I'm just going to
Bring that in because I want the cut crease that we're going to do
to have some kind of background drama
Sometimes my cut crease is just chilling like oblivion and they don't
They don't have a lot of drama
To go off of again the pigmentation is pretty incredible with that little hint of black I'm getting a nice deep
Shade there
I'm not wearing too too much about
like having it perfectly blended because
We aren't going to put some concealer underneath
So, I don't think it's as important
It's perfectly, London
so I think we're cooking with gas as my mother used to say, um
In we going to try and go ahead and cut that inner crease
And then we're going to go ahead and go from there. So I will be right back. So
Now my temptation is to use the purple to make this nice and cohesive and like monochromatic
But I know you guys are probably dying to see a bit of a different color
So why don't we going with this like electric blue and just clown it up?
full-on
I'm gonna use that same a little brush. This is the color. Hello
That same 1 to 4 brush
And we're going to go ahead and stamp baby stamp
stamp baby stamp
That has a lot of pigment. Holy moly
Sister shucks
I'm not
Cute enough to say that probably not young enough to say that either. Okay. Okay. Okay, that's
beautiful
See this is why this palette is cool for makeup people of all levels
Now that I'm getting it now that I'm like understanding that this is actually pretty user-friendly
Even if you're not, you know
rocío or
Oh, so these are really really insanely talented people out there
You can still use it. Even if you're just average like me. Um
I'm okay with being average by the way
holy moly, that is
Stunning and it's blending so pretty with the other purples. Oh my gosh. I'm so happy
I chose that color in this packing brush. You need this in your life
yesterday
So unfortunately that shadow shield completely took my concealer off
Bombs
Doesn't usually do that
Did that the other time it was like extra tight or extra sticky?
So now I just look like an old woman on this side. Sorry, I
am an old woman guys
Okay, cool. I'm pretty stoked. Oh, this is turning out. I
I Jenni I was worried like I was procrastinating filming this video because I was like, I'm gonna botch it
I've botched things before I'll continue to bosh things
And I have a feeling that month whatever. Look I
created was gonna turn out really bad and I wasn't gonna know what to say and I
Cannot breathe a sigh of relief now this look it's turning out really good so I can officially say
If you have a little daughter or son
Who loves makeup?
but isn't like
You know
an expert
He or she is still going to get a ton. This is a another M. 4-3-3. I'm using just that
Peachy shade it's not peach. It's like cream
Tune Thun
He or she is going to love this palette. I'm so excited about that. This bitch can do it
Alright guys, so I think that's about it for the upper
ll lash line
Huh? Let's hit the lower lash line. Now now we have to have some continuity because I
have a tendency to overdo the
colors and then it just looks silly and then
People don't like it, but this is an enema four three one
It's a little stiff pencil brush and we are going to grab this now. This palette does not have a mirror which is fine
But we are going to grab this to just create a nice smoke along the lower lash line
so I'm gonna take this and I'm going to take
Love that
This like you guys know what this is escape and love that
tap tap tap we're going to go ahead and
Connect
Pigment
Take my hands to pigment
Very very pigmented there. This is a really stiff brush
so when you have a stiff brush, you're going to eat a lot of pigment out of
moshe's
Which is nice
All right, now this brush is actually really so stiff that I need to I
Need to use something a little bit less so so I get the smokiness that I want
I'm 5:06
Like ooh
I'm gonna pop into this hot pink. Skip
We are going to
Brighten up, that's fun
I'm gonna bring that pink somewhat far down because I do want it to
Balance out the very intense upper lashline and that bright pink is super cute. I just feel like that kind of
Gave us a nice little 80s vibe that we all want, right?
Not really. Um
All right, so I'm going to go in again with that bright
Blue that we used on the upper
Um, actually, you know what?
No, I'm not gonna do that
I'm gonna wipe that off and I'm gonna take this beautiful
Like yellow tone shade called drying light
Herring light. I love my ring light
Well, the best purchases I've made and I'm gonna hit this in the inner tear-duct. Ooh
Holy moly
Now mind you I've not used one of these colors wet not one
And this palette is $39. It's under 40 bucks for 39 shades
It's kind of crazy that shade is stunning I'm so pleased that
Can see clearly now the rain is gone
sweet, I feel like that about does it and I am
Pretty overall feeling really good. I have like
It's not
The most perfect blend in the whole entire world with this dark purple, but that's totally me not the shadow. Um,
I'll take ownership over that so if you're okay like
You know what I'm saying? All right, so I'm gonna pop on some lashes
I'll zoom in I'll show you guys the final look and then I'll give you my final thoughts
Okay, guys so my final thoughts is this palette
user-friendly for kind of more of the average makeup enthusiast my
Enthusiastic answer is yes it is
Do you have to spend a little bit more time blending some of those more packing shades?
That you've kind of really really packed in to get that intense pigment. Yes you do
But for $39 and with all the shades to choose from I would say that's a pretty solid trade off
the shimmers that I used were absolutely stunning the
brushes that he included in the collection
I'm so so so pleased with I really went back and forth on whether or not to get the brush set because I already have
quite a few morphe brushes
And I'm honestly so so happy I did
Because they are brushes that I honestly don't know how I lived without prior to having this brush set. So
Yes, I really love this palette. I'm super pleased I was
genuinely nervous that I
Wasn't gonna be able to use this palette to its full potential and I wasn't going to be able to do the looks that James
Charles and other really really talented makeup artists were doing
Because I just didn't have the talent and I was worried that this palette was really really geared towards
Artists and only artists but I can tell you guys that even if you are just a makeup junkie who loves makeup it isn't necessarily
like
You know spent years doing it or a makeup expert expert you can still use this palette and I can still love this palette
So I'm I'm just excited to say that
Okay, so there is a giveaway associated. I ordered two palettes
