Use a lighter touch and less than you think you need, especially for the mid-tone and deeper shades–they are really, really pigmented Before I went to bed, I decided I wanted to try to put together two more looks to see how everything would blend together, and one attempt went awry where I tried putting Dawn all over the lid prior to applying the rest, which just resulted in a chalky, faded mess (all pigmentation from All Star vanished but applied over bare skin, boom!) but this technique is often hit/miss for me (laying down a base powder shade first). The next two attempts were moderately successful with extra patience, even more care and attention, and using smaller, flatter brushes and building up as much as possible (trying to account for the intense pigmentation of the darker shades) - those would be looks four and five.

At least that was my experience with Anastasia Beverly Hill’s Subculture Palette . As we inch into fall, I find myself drawn more and more to the colors of this palette.

Do I recommend the Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette?

For the above looks, I used the same placement and brushes for each look to try and mimic as much as possible. I also timed each spending between eight and ten minutes per eye, as I wanted to put in some effort but also not be unrealistic and spend 45 minutes trying to perfect every edge. I used Smith 253 (three of them) to apply each shade to the lid--Rowdy (inner lid), New Wave (middle of lid), Axis (outer lid). I used the Smith 253 slightly angled and on its side to drag Axis into the crease but used a large, domed eyeshadow brush ( Tom Ford 11) to blend. I used a fluffy crease brush ( Hakuhodo J142) to apply Dawn above the crease. I used a fluffy blending brush ( Hakuhodo J5523) to apply Burberry Trench eyeshadow (discontinued) as a brow bone highlighter but was careful not to use it to "help" anything along (Dawn is just too dark for a brow bone highlight on me!). I used a small, domed eyeshadow brush ( Zoeva 237) to apply Electric to the inner tear duct and lower lash line (for the look with Viseart, I substituted Make Up For Ever 4 Frozen Green). The lower lash line is Marc Jacobs Beauty Whirl(pool) Matte Highliner.

You are always on point, but you really outdid yourself here 🙂 Cube is the most difficult to capture because it has a barely there neon pink brightness when the light hits it at just the right angle. It looks pretty on the eyes if it shows. answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but

I love a more grungy- undone look, so I'm not a big shadow blender which is a major deciding factor in how Subculture is going to work for you - to get the fantastic pigmentation that these shadows have means that the shadows are very softly pressed, so firmer application and overworking the shadows will just muddy the shades into a patchy mess. I agree, what a serious work you have out into this review!! Quite amazing and very helpful and soothing compared to all the rage that seems to get channeled through this little palette… SULTRY: ALUMINUM CALCIUM SODIUM SILICATE, SILICA, DIMETHICONE, BORON NITRIDE, NYLON-12, OCTYLDODECYL STEAROYL STEARATE, ZEA MAYS (CORN) STARCH, ZINC STEARATE, GLYCERIN, STEARIC ACID, BEESWAX/CERA ALBA/CIRE D'ABEILLE, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, HYDROGENATED LECITHIN, ISOPENTYLDIOL, LAUROYL LYSINE, PHENOXYETHANOL, POLYMETHYLSILSESQUIOXANE, POLYSILICONE-11, SODIUM POLYACRYLATE, THEOBROMA CACAO (COCOA) SEED BUTTER, TIN OXIDE, TOCOPHEROL, VINYL DIMETHICONE/METHICONE SILSESQUIOXANE CROSSPOLYMER, ZINC MYRISTATE, MAY CONTAIN/PEUT CONTENIR (+/-): MICA, CARMINE (CI 75470), ALUMINUM POWDER (CI 77000), IRON OXIDES (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), TITANIUM DIOXIDE (CI 77891) I had zero interest in this when it came out - to me, the colors were ugly. As a person with green (hazel) eyes, I never wear teals or army greens as they make my eyes look far less green and more brown and yellowish. And then Subculture-gate took over and I figured I had dodged a bullet.SHADE: RED OCHRE MICA, DIMETHICONE, BORON NITRIDE, NYLON-12, ZINC STEARATE, ZEA MAYS (CORN) STARCH, POLYMETHYLSILSESQUIOXANE, ZINC MYRISTATE, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, GLYCERIN, SILICA, VINYL DIMETHICONE/METHICONE SILSESQUIOXANE CROSSPOLYMER, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, HYDROGENATED LECITHIN, ISOPENTYLDIOL, LAUROYL LYSINE, PHENOXYETHANOL, POLYSILICONE-11, TOCOPHEROL, MAY CONTAIN/PEUT CONTENIR: (+/-) YELLOW 5 LAKE (CI 19140), CARMINE (CI 75470), ULTRAMARINES (CI 77007), IRON OXIDES (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), TITANIUM DIOXIDE (CI 77891) <1510323> *CONTAINS CARMINE AS A COLOR ADDITIVE. No problem, Alex! 🙂 If someone is not familiar with the Glossover, I can see why someone would think it should be 4/10. The other thing I noticed was that there really does seem to be a stronger white base in shades like Dawn, Roxy, and New Wave (possibly Edge as well but to a lesser degree). I think some of that can cause lightening or an ashier cast when layered over deeper shades like Axis and Rowdy. I experienced this when using other brands, like Viseart, and taking a more white-based shade (like a yellow) and layering it over a deeper shade (like a deep green). However, due to the more powdery quality and the pigmentation level of the Anastasia formula, it can just be more noticeable and harder to control. But the other two shimmers, Cube and Electric have very weird textures. Wherever my finger touches the shadow, the shadow develops hard pan. I’ve heard of other people complaining that the shadows seal on themselves so they become unusable. Despite the hard pan, I’m still able to use these shadows, for now anyway. With continued use these shadows might completely seal up. Blendability Editor’s Note: Based on using this palette more than probably any other palette I’ve used in the last 5 years, there were no significant changes made except for Cube, which became particularly worse with continued use, which dropped raw rating to 82.4%, which dropped the averages to 7.5/9.5/8/8/4 for the palette as a whole. I have only added edits where applicable but left the original review intact.

At first glance, it looks weird— a bit unusual from all the neutrals and warm shadows we’re used to. But after a few more encounters, strangely our perspective changes.

But ModRen is pretty, and I’ve had it for awhile, nothing bad to say about it other than I’m finding it’s too seasonal for me (summer only, otherwise it’s just too warm for me here in our dark winter season). I may eventually buy the single of Buon Fresco, because I have nothing like it and do love pulling it into cool, grey-based smoky looks.However with wild experiments also comes the risk of unforeseen issues. So my layman ass thinks perhaps some of the community rage could have been avoided had they beforehand stated that this would be a totally different formula and experience to use?
