So I finally did a look with my Jeffree Star Beauty Killer Palette! I didn't really have a plan, I just wanted to use as many shades as possible, lol. This definitely isn't wearable but it's very fun! Constructive criticism always appreciated!

I applied my primer all over my face, focusing on my cheeks and t-zone, with my fingers. I dotted on my foundation and blended with the Sigma F80. I applied concealer under my eyes in a triangle, down the nose, and the Cupid's bow and blended with the Beauty Blender Micro Mini. I set under my eyes with the RT Setting Brush and the rest of my face with the Danielle Powder Brush. I contoured my cheekbones with the Morphe E8, applied blush to my cheeks with the Danielle Blush Brush, and highlighted the tops of my cheekbones, down the nose, and the Cupid's bow with the RT Fan Brush.

I lightly filled in my brows with the pencil and set them with the gel.

I applied my eye primer from lash line to brow with my finger. I applied Courtney above my crease with the ELF Blending Eye Brush. With the same brush I applied Star Power into the crease. I applied Expensive on the lid with the RT Base Shadow Brush. I applied Violence to the lower lash line with the blending brush. I applied Princess under the brow and Rich Bitch in the inner corner with the ELF Defining Eye Brush. I applied black liner to my tight line and white liner to my waterline. I applied one coat of mascara to my top and bottom lashes.

I applied my lipstick straight from the tube.

FIRST IMPRESSION:

All the eyeshadows I used applied perfectly, amazing pigmentation and so blendable. The only shade that gave me any kind of "problem" was Rich Bitch. It's kind of chunky so it was the least pigmented out of all of them but I think as long as you really tap off the excess and apply it a little at a time it'll be fine. Overall I'm VERY happy with the eyeshadow performance, I love this palette, and I will continue to use it!

Sorry, the pictures got a little smushed, lol.

Eyes

They're still smushed on the app, sorry, I guess I don't know how to fix it.

This is the best I can do now.

Thanks for the review! I feel like it would be a palette that I could use with another one to create a look, not really by itself. The pigmentation looks amazing and the colors are very pretty!

I can see you used 5 or 6 shades from the palette but I can only really see the green :/ What other shades did you use and where - Sorry I don't know which names goes to which color hehe.

Genevieve, no problem! I'm not afraid of bold and "crazy" so I'm really feeling this palette for a full look (:

Sabrina, I used Courtney (soft tan) above the crease as a transition color, Star Power (bright/hot pink) in the crease, Expensive (blue/green) on the lid, Violence (dark purple) on the lower lash line, Princess (muted lavender/lilac) under the brow, Rich Bitch (gold) in the inner corner (:

I'm digging this look on you, Alexis. The lip is a really nice touch. Thank you so much for the swatches.

Thank you, Rozberry! I knew everyone's been curious to see "real person" swatches so it was no problem (:

Yay I was excited for this MOTD :D Loving the combo with the eyes and the lips! How would you describe the longevity of the eyeshadows?

Thank you, Tiia! I'm still wearing the makeup (so it's been about 4 hours now) and the eyeshadows still look amazing, no fading or creasing (:

Such a cool look! I'm definitely getting Jeffree Star vibes from it. All you need are some glitter tears and your set! Thank you for posting swatches. I might have to order one next restock even though I'm more of a neutrals person :)

Thank you so much, Michelle! I think this would be great for a pop of color (:

That's what I was thinking! The teal shade makes me really excited to use more color. Have you seen the picture of the lavender highlighter that didn't make the cut for the first release of shades? It's gorgeous and I'm getting impatient waiting for it :p.

I've only seen one picture with the purple highlighter in it and the focus wasn't on the highlighter so I couldn't see the true color of it. Either way I'm probably going to get it, lol; I'm going to try to get the bundle when BL restocks it (:

I thought the colors in the palette were generally "unwearable" but you really made them work! It makes me want to get into brighter colors. I also really love the lip color :)

Thank you, Rachel! (:

I did another look with the palette today, because I'm in love with it, lol.

Same face and brow products. For the eyes I used Courtney in and above the crease, Confession on the lid and lower lash line, and China White on the brow bone and inner corner. For lips I used the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bow N Arrow (:

That's great to hear that the shadows are long-lasting! (But why would anyone expect anything else from Jeffrees shadows anyways ;D) I really like the new look as well!

Tiia, thank you! I wore the first look for 9+ hours and they still looked like I just applied it, the longevity is amazing (:
