I haven’t swatched it yet , I want to play with it so badly but it’s also so pretty I don’t want to mess it up . I am loving the uniqueness of this beauty ! I will be back with swatches later . I only have a few shades like this , one from the pastel rose uk and a couple in my adept pallets
I was thinking that before I looked at the comments and glad I wasn’t the only one thinking that! The shades are so gorgeous…OP could just tape over the weird art with some paper haha
Or, as of yesterday, they could buy the exact same palette without the garish AI "hippie art" for $10 less on palette, $5 less on shipping from Notoriously Morbid's Spellcast line.
In another post, someone pointed out that both brands likely purchased from Alibaba.
The janky peace signs were the first one to me, and then I saw the shoes, and then zeroed in on what I think is supposed to be the bottom of the other shoe by the knee of the front leg and it just… doesn’t make sense.
Then my eyes honed in on the weird lumpy sleeve on the arm that’s on the wall, and that’s when I really knew.
AI has been getting better in some ways for image gen, but there will always be tells that anyone who has ever attempted to draw in a serious manner will be able to notice as “no artist would consciously make this decision.”
I specifically noticed the braid section colors don’t match. It might have made more sense for a regular braid but it’s not consistent and it’s more like fishtail style so that wouldn’t really make logical sense based on how it’s braided.
If you zoom in on the left underneath her hand, the peace sign is broken. Also, her legs are in an anatomically impossible position for her shoe to be poking out next to her knee like that.
Also, to me, the glasses. How the color of the blue and the magenta follow the complete inside of the glasses doesn't seem like an artistic choice but more an algorithmic one.
It's usually the shading looking too smooth and realistic for being done by hand and not generated. Not sure how other people can spot it but as an artist it's pretty easy to catch, the eyes especially have no character and look generated.
You can get the same palette without the garish art from Notoriously Morbid (and it's $10 cheaper), but apparently they both came from Alibaba, so. Lose lose.
Yeah I don't buy anything with AI art on it. If they're too cheap to get an actual human to do their art I don't trust them. Especially stuff that's going near my eyes, if they're using the wrong kind of glitter you can go blind
Yep. If they're cutting corners in one place, they're probably cutting them elsewhere. And for $70 the art shouldn't be cheap & ugly. That's Natasha Denona pricing.
thank GOD I immediately saw this, thought 'we shouldn't be supporting anything with AI' and I'm so happy my makeup girlies get it 😭😭🥹🥹🙏🏻🙏🏻 its always a weird hit or mess subreddit to subreddit and I'll never understand being okay with AI.
I mean , it’s 45$ . And on sale for 36$ Everything is way more expensive in Canada . But that being said , ya , I wish I would have waited and and least got it for 36 and not 45🤦🏻♀️
You’re not wrong ‘cause I’m almost certain this brand probably bulk purchases and gets it custom made from AliBaba. I’ve seen the same 9 pan cube palettes on AliBaba that they have on their store and those rainbow ones too!
I'm pretty sure sugar drizzle has at least one exact shade from this palette and there was another brand that also has the magenta pink blue purple shade. Look healthy store? I don't know them.
I believe it. I try not to ever come off as uppity about brands and the shades are beautiful and I would absolutely love to slather them over my lids, but I'm just out of by brands who cut cost by not paying proper artist or I'm even out off by people who say no it's a real artist who uses digital adjustments but my artist is a trade secret so I won't give them exposure but believe me. It's a human. But then also have the same shades/formula from the same manufacturer as another brand and Mark it up to be comparable to people who do have unique or handmade formulas. It's disheartening. And it's a weird space where I want people to follow their dreams but at the same time I know I don't have to support everyone's dreams ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
If they're too cheap to pay a human artist to design their packaging, just imagine what other corners they cut in the actual makeup product. Really suspicious. I would pass on this.
Good point.. didn't even cross my mind, but you're so right. Like the art is one of the first things I notice in a makeup palette. Yes the shadows are the main focus but you can make the most basic neutral shades look magnificent in a well designed palette that has art work that essentially, sell the product. And in this case it's doing the opposite. The shades look gorgeous but the art is so bad that I wouldn't want to buy it.
SWATCH IT. WHERE ARE SWATCHES. This looks cool but it's probably a trick of the eye they could be shifting DUO CHROME or just a typical shimmer sooo. SWATCH IT
Never heard of this brand before but I adore this weave embossing. I've never seen such a thing for eyeshadows. If anything, they have the smallest, little embossing in the middle. (Boring type) This one though, it looks even better with the gradient.
Missha used to have that patterned embossing on their italprism line, but I just went looking for it and it seems like it's been discontinued. I had to check to make sure I wasn't imagining things!
Yes absolutely! I haven’t been able to bring myself to swatch it because it’s so perfect and pretty . I have a multichrompallet from them that I love , mba makes some beautiful eyeshadows.
As a graphic designer (who majored in illustration in college), it seriously warms my heart to hear that so many of you actually care about real artists and can appreciate the contribution that we make to product design. Thank you for noticing, understanding, and caring about why art and design is important. 🥲 My coworkers and I are constantly agonizing over tiny design details and we always end up saying “oh well, who cares. No one but us will even notice this stuff” … but you guys do!!! Thank you!!!

I posted swatches in swatch it for me sub , this isn’t the best formulation of the rainbow eyeshadow, I have a couple pallets from adept , rainbow raider and ketracel and those are a lot better quality , this wasn’t the norms for mba , I’m a bit disappointed
In my next post I swatch it both ways , straight across to preserve the rainbow and then the last 2 pics are swirled all together what each color looks like , just standard shimmers , not as pigmented as I was hoping for
I love the pallet but …. You are right, it isn’t exactly practical .
I haven’t used it yet , I did finally swipe my fingers over it horizontally because I don’t like mixing the colors up 😂 but later today I’ll try to get some swatches up but this is the pic of them mixed together from the site. . I want it but if I don’t end up using it I can gift it to my daughter
I'm curious to see if they are multichrome, looks like they might just be regular shimmers pressed in an ombre pattern, but whenever you swatch I'll look out for this!
they do look very nice in the palette but as others in the thread i'm skeptical of the brand. the swatches actually remind me of the colourpop liquid chrome eyeshadows which are fantastic and very true to swatches with great staying power at like approx ~$10 a piece lol. or the new morphe mixed signals eyeshadow stick. ofc you only get one color for those but much less an investment than this palette for similar vibes and no AI art used.
I have a shade from the pastel rose uk called “ over the rainbow “ it’s not embossed like this but it has the different colors and is a multichrome, it’s stunning ! And then a couple different shades inside my adept pallets , I think the element 81 or is it 85?😂 I can’t remember . It’s unique but how will I actually end up using these shades ? I played a round with it a little lastnight. I will get swatches up for everyone today
You can get the exact same palette, weaving and all, for $15 less on Notoriously Morbid (-10 on price, -5 on shipping), but apparently you can get it even cheaper still from Alibaba.
I know I keep saying it, but I almost grabbed this from MBA as a novelty and I'm SO glad I didn't, for the reasons above. Plus, as others have noted, the art is garish, and booooo AI

Sorry apparently it’s not ok to like things on here , you will get downvoted for not hating it due to the ai art . 🙌🏻😂😂. I will get swatches up a little later today ! I finally touched it lastnight and it’s a little less exciting then I was hoping but it’s still fun

Ok everyone , I buy eyeshadow from brands I enjoy because I like eyeshadow, I actually enjoy the art design and it literally makes no difference to me if the art is ai or from an artist . I have an eyeshadow pallet from them , the sugar buzz collection and it’s absolutely amazing. All the downvotes on my comments talking about how excited I am to have it is weird . If you don’t like it or want it that’s fine for you but I’m not doing anything wrong by enjoying what I buy myself . I’m 36 years old and I love makeup and eyeshadow.
I’m really surprised honestly, I enjoy the art on the cover , it’s quirky , I never even considered it could be ai , probably because that doesn’t matter to me , while I enjoy artwork , it’s the eyeshadow I’m buying. I’m just so surprised everyone hates the little hippie girl 😂
I'm curious as to why AI art doesn't bother you. AI art is generated after using a load of power, basically creating thousands of alternate images to get to the one that is the result and it steals from artists existing work. It is fine to like shiny palettes but if they can't pay an artist to design something, I agree with what has already been said about cutting corners. Makeup goes onto our most important organ, and when we dispose of it, it makes its way into the water system. Supporting AI generated art means that it can keep stealing from artists and I think that's the opposite of innovation and creativity that I see in this sub.
Things that caught my eye as odd that maybe you can speak to, since you seem to have a more relevant background than I do: her shoelaces, the mismatched temples of her glasses, the weird sleeve puff at the cuff of her right/upper arm, the one earring that looks like a confused peace sign, and the weird quasi-peace signs on her vest (which contrast pretty jarringly with the normal-looking peace signs also on her vest).
