ABH Modern Renaissance

My ultimate go-to palette. I’m so glad this has joined the lineup at ABH and isn’t limited edition because I am definitely going to repurchase this (kinda hit pan on half the palette already!) 

The formula of these is incredible. Buttery, pigmented shadows that are an absolute dream to blend. There are no duds here - unlike other palettes, I can happily say there isn’t a shade I wouldn’t use in this one. I’ve been loving warm tones on my eyes recently and this palette knocks these out of the park. However, there is also a few cooler tones to complement, which I am equally obsessed with. 

Favourite Combos: 
  • Golden Ochre (transition), Raw Sienna in the mid to outer crease, Realgar or Red Ochre to deepen the crease and Primavera all over the lid. 
  • Buon Fresco & Warm Taupe in the crease with Vermeer all over the lid and Antique Bronze to deepen in the outer crease. 
  • Warm Taupe (transition), Love Letter to blend in the crease, Venetian Red in the outer crease with Vermeer all over the lid. 


I think this is one of the only palettes I’ve used this year and the range of shades and quality of shadows makes it an absolute beaut palette for on the go - I’ve started doing my makeup at work, because 6am me is not awake enough to cope with blending, and this bad boy has all the shades I will ever need to look bomb at work.
