Hi! Happy Saturday!!! Here is the Tamanna palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills! Tamanna Roashan (aka @dressyourface) has almost 1 million followers on Instagram and has over 12 years under her belt as a makeup artist and beauty educator. When I saw that Anastasia was releasing a collab pallete with her, I knew I had to have it!
The palette is beautiful and has 10 smooth colours that you can use either wet or dry. The palette also comes with a dual ended shadow brush that fits in the palette. I love that! It makes it super convenient for travel! Here is the caption found on www.sephora.ca, "Inspired by a makeup masterclass on East Asian bridal makeup taught by Tamanna Roashan at the Anastasia Beverly Hills salon, this palette offers a collection of rich, versatile fall shades that compliment all skintones. The formulas are highly pigmented and wear wet to dry with intense payoff and a velvety smooth finish. "
Inside the box there are 5 look cards that have a step by step guide on the back to recreating each look!
The colours are fresh, blush, venezia, gilded, custom, sangria, bengal, chocolate, china rose and noir. Here is a picture with flash:
And without flash:
Now from reading the caption on www.AnastasiaBeverlyHills.com, "This collection of versatile shadows constitutes Tamanna’s “must have” shades to achieve her most requested looks on any skin tone. The combination of warm and cool tones combine to create anything from smokey eyes to intricate cut creases, all from a single palette. Specially formulated, high-impact pigments in rich neutrals and shimmering jewel tones go on smoothly and eliminate the need for overbuilding when applying. " I was expecting a higher colour payoff when dry. It was a little bit disappointing and underwhelming. Here are the swatches : (from top to bottom with flash- fresh, blush, venezia, gilded, custom, sangria, bengal, chocolate, china rose and noir.)
(From top to bottom without flash- fresh, blush, venezia, gilded, custom, sangria, bengal, chocolate, china rose and noir.)
As you can see, they are all shimmer shades except, Fresh, Chocolate and Noir which are matte. Bengal is quite matte too but if you look carefully there is a tiny bit of shimmer in it. The colours are very beautiful and creamy smooth, but they really just aren't super pigmented like I had hoped. The black however, (noir) had a bit more payoff than the rest and is a very black, black!
Here are the colours wet! Here they are with the flash: (top to bottom- fresh, blush, venezia, gilded, custom, sangria, bengal, chocolate, china rose and noir.)
And without the flash (top to bottom-fresh, blush, venezia, gilded, custom, sangria, bengal, chocolate, china rose and noir.)
The colour wet are simply AMAZING and make this palette worth every penny!! The payoff is there, it still super creamy and easy to blend! I am in LOVE!
In Canada you can purchase this at Sephora.ca for $35 and in the USA you can find it almost anywhere for $29, but I would advise you to order it from Anastasia directly (http://anastasiabeverlyhills.com/makeup/tamanna-palette.html) or Sephora just to make sure you are not getting a fake palette. (Yes knockoffs exist everywhere!)
Here is the promotional announcement and the Instagram post from Anastasia Beverly Hills:
So even though the pigmentation isn't as high as I was expecting when it is dry, overall I am still super happy with this palette. If I was to use it only wet it would be worth it to me! I can see and agree that the colours do what they are supposed to and they really do seem to be flattering to people of all skin tones. I will probably mostly use this wet as I just cannot stress enough how amazingly gorgeous they are wet!
When you look at pricing, at only $35 for 10 shades, you really are getting each shade for $3.50 which is a steal for a professional brand shadow! In my opinion you get more than you pay for in this case! This palette is so versatile that not only do you need it for you but it makes the perfect gift! Thanks Anastasia Beverly Hills for making such a great product! Happy makeup shopping!! Xx
