The holiday season usually means an onslaught of colorful palettes. Here's one of the Holiday 2020 release from Charlotte Tilbury, her bejewelled palette (which I like to call the "yum palette" cos the color trios look like Caramel, Cranberry, Sugar Plum and Chocolate rather than jewels, LOL). Have you tried CT palettes and if no, would you consider one of these larger palettes for the better value?

I am 66 yrs old and I love Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadows because they do not emphasize the wrinkles on my eye lids, even though they are so shimmery. There is just something about her formula that is emollient & never looks dry or powdery. I hear so many reviewers warn those with mature eyelids not to use them. As someone with very mature lids, as say they are magic for older eyes.

Thanks so much for sharing Jane! Really glad to hear your experience with these! I must have been looking at a couple of people who had poorer lighting or application in this case. Very glad to know these work!

Loved the eye looks you made here. I think the 3rd eye look looks flaterring on you.

Thanks Irene!! Yeah plummy looks are actually quite "neutral" cos they have both blues and reds, and that trio has nice color contrast!

Excellent review taking into consideration various skin tones. Love your presentation style too, with minimal talking to focus on each look! Glad others such as Jane are encouraged to share their views because I also fall into the "mature" skin category haha!

Hi Rachel, sorry for missing your comment previously! Yeah, I totally love hearing back from all of you - especially when there are different experiences. It really helps me to adjust my opinions and consider different skins and needs!

Yes so therapeutic to watch on weekend :)

Thank you so much Jelena, glad you enjoyed!

I think the "muddiness" you're talking about is how her eyeshadows are intended to look. I don't personally have this palette, but I love the two quads I have because they blend seamlessly into each other and its fool proof blended look without a lot of effort. I don't think her eyeshadow is meant to create very defined eye looks. I enjoy the quads for days that I don't want to spend a lot of time constructing a look, and I just throw a bunch of eyeshadows on

I totally get what you mean! I just meant to point out that you wouldn't get the very defined colors once they blend together, but I should have pointed out that it works for softer seamless looks. Maybe "muddy" sounds unintentionally harsh, hahahaha. I do like the plum trio. Thanks for sharing your experience! :D

i love purple / liliac hues but find them so hard to wear on asian skin! But you look good!!! 😍

This only has one plum, which has some red in it, so it's actually surprisingly wearable! I think last year's palette was a bit harder to pull off haha!

Love the video

Thank you Sean!!

Nice review! I'm on the fence about this palette. On one hand I like Charlotte Tilbury's eye shadow formula but the color selection is lacking some depth for my complexion. I wish the purple trio was more vibrant. Loved all the looks you did especially the last one! What pointed brush were you using on the outer lid and lash line?

Hey Denise! That was a Japonesque pencil/smudger brush I got off Amazon years ago. But you should be able to use any pointy pencil brush from anywhere for that same effect!

Hello and thank you for your awesome review. I had a question. Which brush are u using at the beginning of every eye look. The bigger one I mean

Hi Jas, that's a MAC 227 fluff brush! You can also find a similar large blender shape from Laura Mercier, depending on which is easier to get hold of for you!

Hi Candice. Which (big fat flat 😅) brush was the first that u used to pack on the color.

Hi Joanne! That's a MAC 227 large fluff! It's fantastic for a light wash or blending out color. Soft but not too floppy. I THINK they discontinued it recently though. :( The next closest that I like is Laura Mercier All Over Eye Color Brush. I use these 2 interchangeably.
