MUA (Makeup Academy) Artiste Collection Palette Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: This is a beautiful artiste collection palette on the go which helps create a full face all in one, with 6 brand NEW merged eye shadows, two powder blushers and a contour shade and highlighter.

Shades include shimmery merged tones for fashion-forward statement smoky eyes with light and earthy naturals for an everyday look which can easily be transformed into an evening smoky eye look. The two blushes include warm pink shades for a soft shimmer finish. Finally the contour and highlighter helps create a flawless sculpted natural glow.

These rich, high-pigmented colours help achieve a stunning look this summer.

MRP: £6.00

Remember my old MUA haul..I had got the Artiste Collection Palette then..and loved how multi purpose and perfect for travel it was..

It has 6 shadows, 2 blushes and a matte dark brown for contouring and highlighting..comes with a two sided sponge tip applicator..which is not of much use..

Pistachio- Pale frosty mint green..
Mocca- Frosty Beige..a good highlighter
Ice- Icy Blue shade

Grape- Bluish Purple..a true Grape
Chocolate- Bronze Brown
Cookie- Matte Brick Brown

All shades are satin finish and quite pigmented..except the last i.e Cookie..

I created a look with Chocolate all over, blended with Cookie in the crease and Mocca as highlighter and in the inner corners..I think I am going to use Chocolate and Mocca the most.. 😀

Pink Sparkle is a warm pink and Primrose is a peachy pink..I found Pink Sparkle a little powdery..Primrose is better..the best thing in the whole palette is Bronzed and Shimmer Kiss ! The perfect shade for contouring and highlighting..bronzed is matte and quite pigmented and can be builded slowly..and would work well for our skin tones as its a nice soft brown..and not dark..and Shimmer Kiss is a pretty soft silver shade with not much of sparkles or glitter..but a subtle candlelit glow..

Here the bronzer is swatched lightly..it is more pigmented..

I love everything about this palette..this can be your perfect travel companion, super affordable, decently pigmented shades..only issue is availability..You can buy it online HERE or at Superdrug stores in UK.

Now why I am doing this review right now..coz MUA has an offer running currently..that you spend £6.00 or more on their site and get this palette FREE ! Yes ! Is’nt this an amazing deal..spend the same amount as the value of this palette and get it free..

MUA (Makeup Academy) Haul

I recently hauled some MUA stuff..see at your own risk :p
Few of these are their latest launches..which they came up with last month..

Love the Artiste Collection Palette..it has 6 brand new merged eye shadows, two powder blushers and a contour shade and highlighter, Brow Kit, Shimmer Kisses Bronzer, 2 Nail Constellations, 2 Cream Blushers, 2 Intense Lip Glosses, 1 Pistachio Pastel Nail Varnish and a BB Cream..they have most of the swatches on their blog HERE which helps deciding on the products..

They keep adding new stuff..they have recently launched lip stains, sheer finish lip glosses and glitter magnetic nail varnishes..

I love the fact that MUA is so economical and at the same time has so many varied products and shades..that one is too confused to choose..

I also wanted the Undressed and Dusk Till Dawn Palettes..but may be next time..

You can buy MUA online from http://www.muastore.co.uk

Do you want me to review anything first..do let me know..

Makeup by MUA


I would like to share a few pics where an MUA had done my makeup..though this was 3.5-4 yrs ago…but she was pretty good and I did like it..
Generally they do not use high end brands..they might have not even heard about YSL, Estee Lauder ,Chanel, Shiseido, Lancome, etc
But they are pretty good at their work and do not even charge exhorbitantly..
If you go to your nearby parlors even they would not have heard of all those brands…but are decent enough at their work..
I had got my makeup done by an MUA during my brother’s engagement and wedding..and 1 of my cousin’s wedding…

So here are the pics..

This is of my brother’s engagement

So what do you people think ? Have you got your make up done by an MUA ? How was your experience ?
