Great color payoff

I’ve slowly been trying out new makeup, I just started doing my makeup around a year ago and I don’t mind shedding a few bucks on higher end makeup and all I can say is I’ll definitely will be hitting pan on this pallet

What a disappointment.

I was so excited they were bringing color to Sephora and that this line was created by an actual makeup artist. I was prepared to buy multiple shades of the palette. I specifically went to the next town over to find a store that carried these palettes and swatch them. They were patchy, not pigmented, barely buildable, and inconsistent. I even laid down eyeshadow primer on the other arm to give the swatches a fair try. I swatches with and without primer and both were awful. The formula feels...

Must have! Easy day to night looks.

This eyeshadow palette is a must have. There are various finishes such as matte, satin, metallic/shimmer, and 3D matte. You can create a flawless, mess up proof look. The colors blend seamlessly and are highly pigmented. If you are new to makeup this palette is super easy to use as the colors are smooth, buttery & applies flawlessly on lids. I even used a shade as a highlighter on top of my blush. This palette can be used for an everyday work look and also for sultry smokey eyes for the...

WORTH THE BUY!

I wear makeup nearly daily because it costs a lot so I wanna be sure I’m using what I’m buying. That said, I have a lot of experience playing with different formulas, from Sephora household names like Natasha Denona to indie brands such as Adept Cosmetics. I would compare these shadows to Natasha’s, except more pigmented! They blend effortlessly, wear very lightly on the eyes, and they stay all day with no creasing or issues. I’ve worn them to work a total of 5 times so far and each 8+ hour...

I don't often leave reviews but I wanted to share my experience with this palette. I've been looking for a baby blue eyeshadow with a good color payoff and a smooth non-chalky formula and THIS is it. I saw a review from Robert Welsh on youtube and bought this the next day. This eyeshadow did not crease on me, I used the urban decay eye primer. Other eyeshadows i've used in a similar color have creased regardless if I used the UD primer or not. I've tried a lot of different baby blue...

Really stunning! Definitely my new favorite

This eyeshadow palette was just what I was looking for. The colors complement each other and have lasting power. I’m in my 60s so I tend to have issues with makeup settling into my wrinkles. This eyeshadow stayed on and didn’t settle at all. I’m definitely going to purchase more.

These palettes are refreshing to see! I appreciate the wide range of colors and pigmentation of each one. They are long lasting without creasing and the pigment they deliver is amazing. I haven’t experienced fallout and they aren’t patchy at all. I’ve found that swatching in store is no where near comparable to using brushes when doing a look.

An Eyeshadow Palettes that Excites Me!

Love this eyeshadow palette!! The combination of colors in Wonderful Warm are perfect for me and make my green eyes pop. The formulations are highly pigmented and easy to apply with my finger or brush. The different finishes allow me to create a more everyday look and also bump it up for nighttime. And the packaging is sleek and lightweight so it's great when I'm travelling and on-the-go. So happy I found a new palette that excites me!

Smells like grape manure; still fabulous though

I have been desperate to find a palate of soft purples and this is lovely! The colors are more pigmented than I'm used to--really hold their own even without a primer. My only beef is that this palette is VERY scented in a bad way. When I open it up I am instantly transported in my mind to a cow pasture on a hot day sipping a grape Fanta. Seriously though, why does this smell like fake grapes and poop???

Wishing for more pigment

3 stars for 1. Great color choices 2. beautiful shimmers 3. blendability. I am super disappointed with the pigmentation. I need to layer and layer the colors until they show up. That being said, with a good primer, its a cute product and I use it a lot.

bhadbve Jul 26, 2026

Wanted to try something new and colorful and hung vanngo delivered! I love the range of color but it did take a couple swipes of my brush for the color to show up on my lid. (Or i probably didn’t prep my lid well enough) this is a good palette for those diving into color as you can build up the pigment.

Great payoff - hard to blend

The payoff is incredible, the colours are superb, velvetty and very rich, however, blending the darkest shade is a bit of a challenge, and result can be patchy if not done properly. It's a great palette though once you are aware of this.

I was so looking forward to this palette since it has such amazing colours (wonderful warm). I watched Hung Vanngo's video doing Selena Gomez's everyday glam look with the same palette and it was absolutely flawless. Sad to say the colours were not pigmented even with an eyeshadow primer, and no matter how hard I tried, it was very difficult to blend. It just ended up looking splotchy. Sadly will be returning.

Lots of options

This is a beautiful, buildable formula. Each 8 pan color story seems to have 4 mattes ranging from light to dark, and 4 shimmer options, so you can do a complete eye look. I have 7 of these and will be getting the 8th. Reading the lower-ranking reviews, I can say that most of those seem to be wanting more pigment. But these are buildable for wearability. You CAN build up their pigment, but it will take some time. I find that one pass over my lid barely delivers any color, but the second pass...

Most fun thing I bought during savings event

I’d been eyeing this palette ever since the launch in September. I love working with purples, I’m pale with cool undertones so the colors work really well for me. This is the most fun I’ve had with a makeup product in a while. Th3 mattes are so pretty and I find that they sheer out really well if I want a less intense, colorful look. The formula feels really soft and luxurious and whatever look I create lasts all day. I highl6 recommend picking up one of the color story palettes to experiment with!

3 stars because the colors are truly beautiful, but this is an eyeshadow formula that is VERY difficult to work with. I would describe this as sticky - you do get high pigmentation, but it's nearly impossible to blend, so to get the look you really have to pack on the shadow and once its on, it doesnt move, or blend, or work well with others. This palette is not for beginners.

Wow!!!! These colors are not a flat matte! The formula is very buildable and i did not have any fall out. They are so easy to blend and diffuse. I used my High quality japanese fude brush for application Highly recommend! i love it so much i bought 2 more colors.. I bought two more color stories

Brittaf Verified Oct 20, 2025

Decent palette, but nothing new or special

I have way too many palettes as it is, but everyone was raving about this new line, so I purchased a palette to give the formula a shot. The mattes are the main stars, as I found the shimmers to be disappointing, and one of them can really only be used as a topper. If you don’t already have a neutral palette, and you like natural/basic looks, I’d say go for it, but there are other brands at Sephora that outperform this IMO. Charlotte Tilbury, ND, Makeup by Mario eyeshadows all have the same...

Such a disappointment so hard to work with, very messy and the color payoff is bad.

nguyenkimbo Verified Oct 19, 2025

Wanted to love, but couldn’t!

As a fellow Vietnamese person, I wanted to convert to HVB products! Love the blush and bronzer, but this shadow palette was a miss. Some of the colors weren’t pigmented.. and the dark colors that seemed like they were, just had a ton of fallout! Returned

juleswalk Verified Oct 17, 2025

Returning

Really really wanted to like this product saw so many favorable reviews on YouTube. I’ve given it a couple uses and not only is the pigment very strange and not very good. It doesn’t last. I am definitely going to return. Maybe I’ve just been spoiled by Indie brands.

lvmhgurl Verified Oct 15, 2025

Weird pigmentation and quality…

The light colors barely show up and the dark colors are extra dark. More large glittery chunks than smooth and shimmery. Would love if the quality was better — definitely worse than drugstore makeup. Returning.

harket Verified Oct 15, 2025

Colors don’t last. 

Colors were beautiful and applied well. Unfortunately, they do not last. Had hoped to buy a few of the other color pallets, but due to the color not lasting I’m debating on returning this one. And I use a good eyeshadow primer. 

NachoMama Verified Oct 15, 2025

I was very hopeful that the quality of these products would be as stellar as the creator’s talent, however the product fell way short. I have gotten much better quality from drug store eyeshadows. I will be returning these.

deelee0316 Verified Oct 15, 2025

Beautiful formula

I love the lighter colors and the shimmers shades but the two darker brown colors are really dark. The formula is beautiful. I just won’t use the darker two shades for anything than liner for most uses.

ChaunLT Verified Oct 13, 2025

I wanted to love it

The colors are beautiful and radiant but the fall out was difficult to work with. I tapped my brush to get the excess powder off, and when I applied it on my eyelids, it would dust off under my eye and ruin my base makeup. I found it applied better when I used my fingertips but then blending it was was harder

Must Have

The best I’ve used since the first Mario Ethereal palette. LOVE the colors.

Not worth the price

The colors look pretty but they don’t stay long, they do start to fade. I don’t think it’s worth the money

Drugstore 90’s eyeshadow is better

I know purples seem to be tricky to formulate to get decent payoff but one of these barely even swatches. And no I am not an alien with purple skin so it doesnt just match my skin. It barely shows up! I blew a puff of air from my mouth and the darker ahadows on my arma blew away

LaFiamma Verified Oct 09, 2025

If you’re looking for “orange”, keep looking.

This is not orange, even remotely. A couple of peach, yes. But mostly tan/nude shades. I am going to return it to the store untouched. It’s pretty but it’s not what I thought I was purchasing.

elisaeve Verified Oct 07, 2025

Mixed feelings

The metallic shades are absolutely stunning: vibrant, rich, and eye-catching. But the matte one is honestly one of the most disappointing products I’ve ever purchased. It barely lasts an hour, settles into the crease, and completely fades away. Such a shame, because the metallics had so much potential.

nbeth88 Verified Oct 06, 2025

OMG!!!

Absolute luxury at an affordable price. I have used luxury products and I just want to say that this product is arguably the best quality product and an absolute pleasure to use. The colors are highly pigmented and they respond to your direction you want.

Obsessed with how this eye shadow goes on, so smooth and even.

Mixed Results

The matte shades get a 5 but the shimmer/metallic shades rate a 1 (especially since they irritated my eyes), so splitting the difference with a 3 rating. The matte shades are beautiful. Pigmented and easy to blend. The shimmers were fine but they were too close to the same color. I purchased this palette because the metallics are marketed as not being glittery. Spoiler alert . . . they are. The glitter particles are not so large that you need tape to remove them but they are there, and they...

Yes you absolutely need these.

Oh my goodness I love this palette. No, I am not sponsored or incentivized because why are those people even allowed to write reviews?! Anyways. I took a chance on this purchase and without ever testing the formula I took it with me as my only eyeshadow for a weekend Vegas trip. The color payoff is *chef’s kiss* divine. My eyeshadow lasted ALL day. No creasing, no smudging, and zero fallout. Speaking of fallout, none at all when grabbing color on my brushes. If you have any of these...

Even better than the reviews are mentioning!

I was excited to try this, but as a long time makeup by mario and natasha denona eyepalette fan, I wasn't expecting this to blow me away. I was wrong! The new neutral palette in particular has every shade I want to build a beautiful eye look, from simple and matte to a smoky eye. There are a few finishes, and these shimmer shades are truly outstanding. No flaking or crumbling, and there's no glitter fallout! I love the shade at the very lower right hand corner, I have never seen a shade like...

Stunning Eyeshadows

I haven't purchased an eye shadow pallete in years. This one caught my eye as an everyday go to. These shadows are so beautiful. The mattes have so much payoff and pigment. The shimmers leave such a beautiful look to the eyes. Hung Vango really knows how to make amazing eyeshadows.

jaxsax Verified Sep 18, 2025

Perfect daily staple

These shadows are lovely! Soft, with very little to no fallout. Just the right amount of pigment to blend easily w/out patchiness. I’ve used the cool neutral palette every day since purchase.

disappointing

Really disappointed by this one. Really didn’t feel like there was much color pay off and it took a lot of effort to blend just to get it looking acceptable. Can’t put my finger on why but this was a sad return for me

Creamy feel, long wear

I rarely write reviews, but this palette really impressed me. I have dry, sensitive eyes with some texture on my lids. Shadows applied true to color, with little to no fallout. Lasted all day without primer and no need to touch up. Biggest pro for me though, was how smooth they made my lids look. Made applying my eye makeup feel as good as it looked. Highly recommend.

tracyCD Sep 17, 2025

Awful

After creating my eye look I can without a doubt say there are drugstore brands better than this eyeshadow. The pigment payoff is non existent and the colors are patchy. I would not recommend.

Gorgeous sophisticated palette

Gorgeous, sophisticated palette. I love the curated selection of colors. Again, this product makes me want to get rid of all my other similar palettes it’s so good. The feel of the palette is high end and I love how compact it is for travel. The shadows themselves are beautiful, blend well, and lasts all day! I’m too lazy to ever prime or set usually as well. Good for everything from everyday looks to dramatic looks. I’d definitely try some other colors!

New go to!

I have been looking for a palette with these neutrals for a long time and am incredibly happy with this one. I often go for cream eye shadow but this one stays really well and looks so pretty, you can have an elevated day look and then layer on some of the darker and sparkling colours to transition to evening. I go for classic chic and this works so well.

I want to say one thing before I continue- there are a few (maybe more) influencers on sm who have merely swatched this purple palette and called it “not pigmented”. That is utterly false!

A talented artist’s take on classic colors!

Just picked this new palette up at my local Sephora a few days ago. Have used it 3 times so far. I’m wasn’t familiar with Hung Vanngo, but have since educated myself, and understand the hype over his talent. There are 4 types of textures. The 3D Matte is what caught my eye. This palette delivers! Almost zero fallout. Shade selection is a no-brainer. Very high quality product. Buying a different shade, now. Lasted more than 8 hours. Worth the cost.

Lasts longer than any shadow I've used before

The first time I wore this palette I couldn't believe how well the shadow lasted. I wear eyeshadow every day, and usually it's faded away in the afternoon. With this palette, I was shocked to see it was still on when I got home from the office! I even took photos of the morning and evening to confirm.

All of my favorite shades in one!

This palette is SO gorgeous. The shades are all so perfect for the most beautiful warm and rich looks which are my favorite. I’ve been able to create some more natural glowy day time looks and the nicest full glam for night time. I just used the palette for the Lady Gaga concert and my shadow stayed on all night through the dancing and the sweating! I included a pic :). So happy with it!
