Try It Out Tuesday #TIOT Makeup Revolution Fortune Favours the Brave Palette

Last week for #TIOT I looked at the Burning Embers palette from MUA and did four different looks.  I have done the same this week but with another budget palette from Makeup Revolution, it's the Fortune Favours the Brave palette.

When this palette was release it was all over social media and is very much in the category of "YouTube made me buy it".  It retails for £9.99 on www.Tambeauty.com and includes 30 shades in both shimmer and matte.  

The shades in this palette are more subtle than I usually go for as I am a colour junkie when it comes to eyeshadow.  The colours range from blues and greens to pinks and purples and a few neutrals thrown in for good measure.

The palette swatches well with the finger with some beautiful shimmer shades as the stand outs.

This palette sits more in the cool toned range of colours and while there are a variety of shades I was not as enamoured by this palette as I was by the MUA one last week. That doesn't mean that this palette is bad by any means it just doesn't run to my preference of colours.  Having said that I did manage to produce four fairly distinct looks.

For this look I used the purple/pink tones.  I started off with Winning in the crease and put Favour over the lid and Pink Diamond in the inner corner.  What can be said about this palette is the colours blend nicely together so it's fairly easy to get a smooth effect over the lid.  

For the second look I used the green shades. Tip Top in the crease, Yes Please on the lid, Smoothie in the outer corner and brought into the crease a little and then Fortune in the inner corner.  I think this is my favourite of the four looks as while it is more subtle than the colours I am used to, it has a dramatic edge to it that I enjoyed.

Look three I decided to go all matte.  I started out with Buffer as a crease colour, then went in with Latte on the lid.  I then put Caffeine Fix in the outer corner to add some depth.  This I think is my least favourite of the four, not because the shadows were hard to use just that it is a very understated look and as I may have mentioned (once or twice) I like bold! Having said that this would be a good look for work as it is not overly in your face.

Lastly I went with this look.  I wanted something bolder than the other three so I decided to see how well two very different colours would blend together.  I first went in with Skylight in the crease and then Midnight Rainbow on the lid.  Having done this I realise that while Skylight has little flecks of gold glitter in it they are very similar in shade so I went in and blended Peachy in the crease.  I blended A LOT and I quite like the finished look with the blue on the lid and the peachy shade on the crease.  I finished it off with Pink Diamond on the inner corner.

While this is a good palette with colours that blend well together it just didn't inspire me as much as some other palettes from Makeup Revolution do.  I feel that this palette could do with less pinks/peaches and a few more lighter blue shades as there are only three blues one of which (Transformer) is more of a greeny blue and the other two are very similar shades.  I love the selection of greens and purples and some of the pinkier shimmers are nice for the inner corner.  

Overall if you like a subtle eye this is a great starter palette.  The pigment is good without being overpowering for the novice. There is some scope for creativity for the more experienced make up geek, however I feel that maybe there could be better palettes out there for you.  If you like warm shades there is little in here for you but if cool shades are your bag then this could be a winner.

As always I hope this was helpful, any hints, tips or recommendations you can comment below.
