Theory Highlighter, Blush, & Bronzer

I love (as in, adore) Viseart shadows and have several 12 pan palettes and the Grande Pro. This is my first venture into their theory face palettes and I am very underwhelmed. I had a mental expectation of pigmentation something along the lines of Kevyn Aucoin’s Capri, or Viseart Shadows. Alas, no. The payoff is... far subtler than I prefer. I like pigmented because it equates to fast when you have the right tools (Sonia G, thanks!).

I have fair neutral colouring and found the bronzer a bit too warm for my preference. The blush was a muted tone, and the highlighter is relatively subtle. So, a good everyday set I could probably put on without looking in a mirror; but nothing that wowed me at all.

I dislike the packaging this comes in and immediately transferred it out into a little Make Up Forever XL magnetic palette, which is so much easier to use than the whole flip and fold sequence in this Theory packaging. The packaging has actually put me off buying any of the Theory eye shadow palettes. I do, however, like the fact the shadows are easy to remove - that’s a total plus for this packaging.

The packaging also didn’t prevent one of the shadows being fractured slightly before arrival. (The Beautylish Package was perfectly intact and utterly gorgeous as usual, so the fracture is much more likely to have come from being dropped at some point earlier in its life.) The packaging also attracts the shadow particles and looks messy very quickly.

So, overall, wish I’d put the money towards another Kevyn Aucoin face product.

This just exceeded my expectations. I was afraid it would be "too much" - go on too heavy, the blush too strong a coral, the highlighter too shiny or glittery. It was none of these... of course with Viseart as I am learning you need a light hand in the application (you can always build) but keeping this in mind I was so delighted to be able to create a very natural and healthy warm flush with this palette. My skin is warm to neutral (I seem to be able to get away with warm or cool colours, depending on how I pull it together) so I wasn't sure which blush palette to order but I am so glad I ordered this first as it looks so healthy and natural on me.... but now I am craving the Enamored palette (will save up for that definitely)! Each colour went on smoothly with soft brushes (recommend ones that are not dense though), only the slightest blending (easy to do with these) and you are done. If only there were more colours!

I love that you can take out all of the pans & then put in whichever Viseart Theory product you want, so you can make the perfect palette for you. Whether it be 2 eye shadows & 1 blush or 1 bronzer or use 2 Theory palettes because they are so small, they will still fit into your makeup bag. Or you can add the Petite Pro to the mix. This makes the combinations absolutely endless & then you can always have on hand the palette that goes with what ever outfit you are wearing for the day, perfect for the person on the go. Yet another reason why I love Viseart so so much. :)

The blush is such a beautiful coral color, it looks like it might go on bit orange but it does not. You can again go from sheer to full on intense because it is so pigmented, this is such a great color for summer. The bronzer is such a nice warm color that applies beautifully onto the skin & is great for the natural sun kissed glow or work look. The highlighter is a wonderful champagne color, just like it says in the description. It is very warm & can go also on sheer if you want. I have never had a problem with any of my Viseart products ever going on patchy & they will last you all day with little to no touch ups. :)

These are all stand alone Beautiful but when you use all three "Gorgeous". Yet again I am amazed how when you use any Viseart products you are able to go from a slightly Better you Natural look. To a full on Glam with no problem at all, I love, "Love" these Viseart face palettes. I am so happy I got them, you can never go wrong with Viseart they are really my Holy Grail products. I cannot rave enough about these, you will not be disappointed. :)
