Today I'm sharing swatches and photos of every LORAC PRO palette I own. A few of my lovely subscribers have asked for swatches and comparisons of the PRO palettes especially the Mega PRO palettes.
So after searching through my external hard drive, I found the photos I used many months back to review these individually here on my blog. Reader be warned, this will be a very picture heavy post :)
**Before I get into each palette, the quality and pigmentation on all PRO palettes is outstanding. For me, everything about these checks off each box of "must haves" in an eyeshadow.
Here are the original Pro palettes (1 & 2) that are currently available at Ulta (online and in stores) and on the LORAC Cosmetics website. Both retail for $42 and contain 16 eyeshadows, 8 which are matte finish and 8 shimmer/metallic finish.
*LORAC PRO 1: I would categorize this one as the everyday palette that's full of basic neutrals. A definite staple in any makeup collection.
 |
| L to R: Lt. Pink, Taupe, Cream & White |
 |
| L to R: Black, Brown, Sable & Mauve |
 |
| L to R: Lt. Bronze, Gold, Champagne & Nude |
 |
| Salte, Deep Purple, Garnet & Pewter |
*LORAC PRO 2: While this one has a several basic neutrals, you get more pops of color with the Jade, Plum and Navy shades. Again, another staple item!

The LORAC Mega PRO 1 and Mega PRO 2 palettes are double the size of the regular PRO palettes. These are limited edition palettes containing 32 gorgeous eyeshadows and retail for $59.
*LORAC Mega PRO 1: I would categorize this one with not only your neutrals that are needed in many looks but with an emphasis on berry type shades. I find the colors in this Mega PRO 1 palette to be more rich and deep in tone.

 |
| L to R (matte finish): Melon, Tangerine, Saddle, Forest, Goji Cabernet, Ash & Black |

 |

From the swatches above you can see the quality of each eyeshadow. Along all 4 PRO palettes, the only color that is repeated is black. Some would say why include black in each palette while others would appreciate it. I don't mind it because it's a useful shade.
I adore these and would highly recommend them. One thing to note, the Mega PRO 1 was from 2014 Holiday so unfortunately, it's not longer available. The Mega PRO 2 is from this year 2015 Holiday and is currently in stock on Ulta's website.

Awesome. I am loving that navy from the Lorac 2. So rich!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's a gorgeous shade :)
ReplyDeleteI have been using this brand for a long time. Even after doing my makeup classes for beginners London by Lina Cameron, I am trying out various brands for improving my skill. But this brand is till now my favorite. I did my course from Lina, she trains the best makeup lessons in my town and she is really talented and so caring.
