Hey guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. I am elated to be doing today's video. I'm going to be doing a little mini review and a tutorial on this look using the Sydney Grace and Mel Thompson collaboration, the tiny Marvel's palette. So if you want to see how I got this look and just me brag about this palette, then just keep watching. I am so incredibly excited for Mel. She did an amazing job. I mean, just to be honest, upfront, this palette is seriously very, very good. If you don't know Mel Thompson, I mean, she's such a big channel. I started watching her a few years ago, like right before I kind of started my channel and I've always really looked up to her. She's such a kind person and I am so incredibly honored that I kind of got to be a little bit of a part of this launch because I want to say about a month ago, Mel texted me and she asked me for my address and I was like, what do you have in the works? So I knew I was going to love it whatever it was and then one day I got home from being away for the weekend. This popped up at my house. The other day I did this look and you guys were curious if I filmed a tutorial on that. I didn't, but I did just use three colors. Flutter by in the crease, bugaboo all over the lid and then web as the highlight in her corner kind of color. I mean, it's pretty much impossible to not be biased for this review considering I really do look up to Mel and I am so grateful that I got this little baby in the mail, but no BS is palette is actually really good. So let me get into the details of this guy really quick. So this is $52 and it did sell out on the first day that it was launched, which again, so incredibly excited for Mel, but it is available for pre-order right now. So still on the website, you can purchase it. Once they're made, it will be mailed out to you and I really do recommend you go watch her video on this palette because her story behind it is really awesome. She had her tattoo artist designed this and the colors everything is inspired from her tattoos, which I can't believe I just wow. I am fairly new to Sydney Grace's formula, but I have quickly learned that they know what they're doing when it comes to eyeshadow formula. So I mean, right away with Mel's vision, with Mel's expertise, she used to be a working makeup artist. If you've seen her looks, she does incredible work. So with Mel's expertise and with Sydney Grace just knowing what they're doing with eyeshadow formulas, I didn't expect anything less than what this palette gave. So it is a 15-pan palette and I just love this color story. I'm a neutral girl who loves pops of color and this is kind of what I mean by pops of color. I love more pastel-y kind of colors if we're going into the color spectrum and then you also have shimmers that pair with it lovely. And I talked about this during my tutorial, but one of my favorite things about this palette is I feel like you can get so many different looks. This is a palette where when I look at it, I truly do feel inspired. I can easily envision a lot of different looks that I want to create and this does cater to those who enjoy more neutral tones because you can definitely get an everyday look with this baby, but then you also have a lot of other colors if you're a little bit more experimental. You're getting nine mattes and six shimmers. One of the shimmers, Scarab right here, this is a duo-cream shade and the rest are quite foiled. I would say that web is probably the most satiny, which is perfect because it's that inner corner highlight or that's most likely what a lot of you will be using it for. Just in general, the brand that she collaborated with, that's an automatic check for quality. Mel being as creative and just knowledgeable as she is with her experience and everything else. That's a check for as far as color story goes. It's a thought out palette. It has the colors that you need. It has colors that are gonna match with other colors that are going to support other colors, bring other colors out. You know, this is obviously a palette thought out by somebody that knows what they're doing and so overall you just have a great recipe for a fantastic palette. I did only do one look for today's video. I definitely see myself creating more looks as time goes on with this palette. I'm excited to continue playing. I haven't used every single color in year, but I can just tell by swatching they're gonna be great. Sydney Grace has a very consistent formula and even I as applying them I'm still shocked by how good these colors are. Without further ado, let's just get into the tutorial for this look. I have been dying. Absolutely dying to play with the greens in this baby. So I did a full green look and you guys it is spectacular. I'm just gonna start off with my colitis tone activator as my base. This is just a really nice lightweight eye primer that also is going to add just a touch of evenness to the eyelid as well. So we're gonna go straight into the center of the palette. The color that your eye instantly goes to this is mantis and I am so impressed with the shadow you guys. I'm using a colitis as one brush but as you can see, for easy pigmentation. I do have some palettes and some items from Sydney Grace, but I only did recently just get into their shadows because I ordered from their Christmas in July sale. So I'm still new to their formula, but I definitely see what the hype is about. Their shadows are incredible and I don't think this palette is anything short of that. So just let it be known. I can tell simply by just swatching in the feel and the couple of looks I've already created with this palette that the quality in here is quite impeccable and I swear you guys indie brands they really do it best. They have such unique formulas and I think what makes Sydney Grace stand out is their matte. Truly they just kill the matte game. This is a refer number 14 brush and blowing this out pretty low. I'm even gonna go lower on the already done eye, but I think it's insane that I just put a very thin eye primer on and look at the amount of vibrancy that you can get from this palette and I absolutely love that melpah color like this is because simply it's just really fun. With a luxe 229, we're gonna go into spider right here which is very deep. Looking at the pan, it kind of it's like a deep, deep chocolate brown, but it has almost some black in it. So even on the eye, like I'm not getting much chocolateiness from it, it's definitely a very cool brown shade that I mean almost translates as a soft black if I'm being honest and I mean you can see Sydney Grace did the work in this color. It's incredible. It's working itself out. These colors are extremely hard to work with, especially for beginners. Just be aware you are getting a lot of pigmentation. Sydney Grace has a lot of pigmentation, but it is made up for and how easy it is to blend it. The reference number one brush, I do want to add a little bit of definition with spider down here like so and I'm gonna just kind of blend in and shade S.I. Now if you want something a little bit more daytime friendly or like glowy and just brighter, skip the step with spider, but I can't resist nice smoky eye. I'm gonna go in with a touch more of mantis that original green because I really want it to pop underneath all of these colors. Pretty much all the way up to my brow bone. And then of course the color that I knew I needed to go for is scarab. Now this color is actually already existing in the line. So this is the only color that isn't brand new, but it's one of those blue, green, duo chrome colors, kind of like club from Mac if I remember correctly. Like this color has been done before, but it's also super incredible because it's a Sydney Grace formula. So it's extra creamy, extra smooth. So I'm just using my finger and I'm going to apply this on the outer two thirds of my eyelid and blend it up a little bit high. This is going to look incredible over that deep black spider shade. Again, you don't need to put that blackish brown shade down, but that's only going to make the duo chrome in this palette stand out that much more. I'm so happy she opted to put this color in the palette anyways, even though it was already from the Sydney Grace line because it's incredible. And I don't own this color. I'm really happy about it and I'm taking a brush and I'm kind of just blending in or blending out some of the shimmeriness to blow it out. Guys, now I love a blown out kind of look and we're taking fire butts right here. Honestly, this one might be my favorite color in this palette. It's just so incredibly shiny. It's kind of silvery. It's kind of green. This is just a color that I see myself using a lot because I do like greens, but this is a very wearable tone of green. And if you were to put this all over the lid with mantis, beautiful spring time look. So I'm filling in the inner third with that. As you can see, extremely pigmented. I'm also going to kind of layer that in the inner corner. As you build it up, you see it gets even more shinier. It's incredible. I'm going to go into web right here, which is a very stunning inner corner color. It's a white shimmery shade. I'm going to build right on top of that. Whatever's left in my brush is going under here. And you can see this is kind of blending in with the green and it's just pulling the whole look together. And I'm just cleaning this brush from like my wrist. And I'm taking some of Scarab again, which is that duo chrome shade. And I'm just going to run this right on top of my lower lash line because I just love this effect so much that this shade gives me. Mel, you're freaking killed it. I think it's really incredible is you can get like a crazy green look like this, but you can get the complete opposite with so many other colors. And here you can get a purpley pinky look, a mauve look, a simple everyday gold look, a toe look. I just think the variety in here is so good. But oh my gosh, I love this look. So I'm going to finish the rest of my look and then I'll be back to discuss with you just to stick with the occasion. I did actually use the Christian Odette and Mel Thompson collaboration that she did with lips. So I'm wearing the smooch's lip liner and the beauty lipstick. I do have some gloss over as well, but oh my goodness, it's such a pretty lip with this look. I mean, obviously, as you can tell, I am so pleased with this palette. Mel did a fabulous job. And I really think that you guys are going to love this palette as well. There's a little bit of everything for everybody from this palette. And Mel is just an overall great person and just know that you are supporting somebody who is real and honest and genuine. And I think that that is important to recognize as well. So again, congratulations, Mel. Congratulations, Sydney Grace. I'm loving it. So yeah, thank you guys so much for watching this video. If you aren't subscribed to my channel already, I would absolutely love it. If you would consider taking the time to do so. And I will see you guys in the next one. Bye guys. Have a good one.
