I really love my KVD Esperanza Palette, & I finally got a chance to play with more of the colors. Galore is my current favorite 😍

Anyway, I tried Archangel for the first time and I was disappointed. It looks sooo gorgeous in the pan and even on swatches. But when I applied it, there was so much fallout. By the time I blended it out on my eyelid, it was practically invisible.

Did any of you have the same problem with this color? The other colors are so pigmented.

I do find that it's a very pale color, but I don't find that it's thin or badly pigmented. I like to press it on with the flat edge of my brush in order to avoid fallout.

I was hoping you'd answer this one Hannah! Lol. I'll have to give it a second try with my flat brush.

I hope it works for you! I'm so sorry to hear that you're having problems with it, because I actually really like it. It's pretty light on me, but you can tell it's there. It's the minty shade on my lid in this.

That's pretty much what it looks like on me. I just didn't expect it to be that light. I'll try a different technique! Thanks for your help!

I don't have this palette so I'm not a huge help but I would try wetting your brush a little before to see if that helps!

I'll definitely try that Delaney!

I'd definitely try putting it over a white (or light colored) tacky base (think Mac Paint Pot, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil, etc) to lessen the fallout and make the color pop more!

I reallly need NYX eye pencil in milk lol! It's on my list. Thanks for the suggestion!

I like the nyx jumbo pencil, but I find it tends to crease on me, even if I'm using a primer underneath! It's unfortunate, but one of the pains of having ridiculously deep creases. If I'm already using a shimmery eye shadow, I usually use the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Too Cool instead - it's shimmery, but it doesn't crease!
