Review: Smashbox full exposure palette


Hi everyone, so the Smashbox Full Exposure palette has been out for a few months now so I thought that I would do a quick mini review.

The palette contains 14 neutral shades, 7 shimmery (or glittery if you wish) and 7 matte. It also includes a mixture of warm and cool tones to give you tons of different looks with one palette. This palette doesn't have the best pigmentation however the matte shades are still really smooth and easy to blend and not the slightest bit chalky. As for shimmer shades, (which some people have not been impressed with) I just dampen my brush - a flat sided one to pack on the colour and minimise fallout. This makes the shimmer shades more metallic and vibrant, if you have MAC fix plus use that.

The palette is £36 and comes with eye charts with 3 different looks for each eye shape. A sample size Full Exposure mascara is also included which is normally £18, this mascara is meant to be voluminising however I haven't put this to the test. At my local counter they also gave me a free sample of the Photo Finish primer which is normally £25.

Overall I believe this is a lovely palette to build up your collection and would also be great for beginners. The packaging is a flip top with a magnetic closure and holds a large mirror.


Hope you enjoyed,
Emma xox
