However, it’s more important that they work well on the eyes, and all the shadows in this palette are pigmented and blend together effortlessly on the lids without getting muddy in colour. I have to say that the shades don’t swatch well in particular, the two matte shades and the satin Rose Dusk take forever to build up. In general, the Divine Rose I palette is very high-performing. It’s really hard to choose favourite shades because there’s not a single one I dislike – I guess I would have to say Rose Venus, Love Lace, Velouria, and Iridescent Pink (which is way more unique than my swatches show!) A lot of the shades really excel in direct lighting! If you already own a lot of neutral eyeshadows, it’s very likely you would be able to find close matches within your collection. With everything being said, I have to be honest, I find that the all of the shades in this palette to be fairly dupeable – even the baked shadows, which are the more unique shades. Most people will use a matte shade as a transition and a matte shade in the crease, which means that you really only have those two shades to choose from. There are a ton of cohesive looks to be had with this palette! The difficulty with this shade selection is that you only have two mattes to work with. What I love about the shade selection of this palette is that it contains both warm and cool tones, so it doesn’t veer too far one way. There’s no shade in here where I would say “It’s pretty but not a shade I would wear much”. I had never purchased any Pat McGrath palettes because none of them really appealed to me – at $170, I felt that, I felt that it really needed to be a palette where I would love and reach for every single shade on a regular basis. VR Rose Venus – Pink-peach duochrome shimmer Rose Dusk – Medium rose in a satin finish Iridescent Pink 003 – Opalescent pink-blue I don’t enjoy having to refer to the insert every time I want the shade names, but seeing as how I don’t have to know the names every time I use the palette, it’s not a dealbreaker. I find this kind of annoying as I like to have the shades right on the palette. What I don’t like about the packaging is that there are no shade names printed next to the pans or on the back of the palette – the only way you can see the shades is on the insert included. At first, I thought this palette was significantly thicker than most palettes, but it’s actually only a little bigger, both in height and width, than palettes such as the ABH palettes. It is quite hefty, which certainly makes it feel expensive – just what you would expect from a luxury brand like Pat McGrath! The issue with this shiny finish is that it attracts a lot of dust and fingerprints – the palette already had dust all over it when I took it out of the cover! It also includes a full-sized mirror inside. The palette itself is made of a shiny lacquered plastic. It also comes with an insert that has all the shade names on it. Can we talk about how stunning the artwork on the sleeve is? It definitely appeals to me the most out of all of her palettes. This one has a romantic rose design to fit the Divine Rose theme. Like all of Pat McGrath’s Mothership palettes, the Divine Rose comes in a sleeve with a manila envelope closure. It retails at $170 CAD and is available at Sephora and the Pat McGrath website (although it is currently not in stock on either website). It contains 10 shades, 6 of which are in their pressed formula and 4 that are baked. The Divine Rose palette is the 7th palette in Pat McGrath’s Mothership line. Explore resplendent golds, sublime roses, gilded peaches, and breathtaking bronzes as you structure, design, and define for dazzling effects. That is, until Mother released the Divine Rose! Her previous palettes weren’t really up my alley, but this one just screamed “buy me!!” Read on to see whether I think this palette is worth the hefty price tag.Įlevate your artistry with formulations that release infinitely smooth and extremely blendable pigments for seamless color transitions and unprecedented buildability. To be honest, it wasn’t a brand I was particularly excited to try, because none of her products had appealed to me. It’s a luxury brand, and my purchases tend to be more towards the mid-end range – I feel like there are plenty of eyeshadow palettes that perform just as well, if not better than luxury brands. I honestly never thought I’d own anything from Pat McGrath. Hello, my friends! Today, I’m sharing my review of the Pat McGrath Mothership VII Divine Rose I palette…just as the second one was released! Better late than never, right?
