| BH Cosmetics Modern Mattes 28 color eyeshadow palette Review & Swatches |
Indian way of applying makeup and Asian way of applying makeup is way too different from what I expected it to be. They prefer neutral colors and mostly matte shades that just slightly accentuate their eyes while we prefer brighter colors and gold hues to match our traditional outfits. In our class, we practice the makeup techniques taught on each one of us in a rotation and when I got to work with Asian friends, I realized that all my shimmery palettes were a little too bright for them. So I had to invest in a good, matte palette that would have most of the neutral colors and also other shades , just in case I need to add some colors to the outer corner etc. While I was browsing online, I saw a lot of high-end brands offering matte palettes that were pretty good but at the same time expensive. I was looking at a medium budget palette which would serve the purpose and at the same time would not burn a hole in my pocket.

Review and Swatches of BH Cosmetics Modern mattes 28 color palette:
The palette comes in a very lightweight packaging with a transparent matte looking cover that enables us to view the colors. The shades come in 4 rows with each row having 7 colors ranging from the lightest to the darkest shade in the color spectrum. The colors are really well pigmented and most of the colors transfer well onto the eyelids even without a primer. All the shades are extremely smooth except the orange shade in the second row and the copper sulfate shade in the last row.
Row 1 :

The above swatches are without primer and the shades transfer well on the skin. These shades can be used for highlighting the brow bone, for blending into the crease area etc.
Row 2 :

The second-row shades range from orange to peach and some neutral shades as well. The lighter shades do not transfer well onto the skin but the color can be built up slowly and might look more prominent on Asian Skin tones. The orange shade is very chalky and does not feel smooth to touch and apply.
Row 3 :

This row is one of my favorite in the whole palette because purple shades look pretty on Indian skin tones and this row has really well-pigmented colors.The first shade in this row is really well pigmented and looks nice on the outer 1/3 rd of the eye.
Row 4 :

The last row has a lot of bright colors like green, different shades of blue and black which is essential to create that depth needed in eye makeup. Most of these shades are well pigmented and transfer well to the skin even without a primer. The 3 rd blue shade is quite chalky and does not feel smooth to touch and apply.
