Hello everyone!

I've been looking to buy a pigmented neutral eyeshadow palette for sometime now and I am incredibly indecisive about which palette I should invest in!

Has anyone tried the Lorac pro palette or the Smashbox full exposure palette? They both have matte and shimmer shadows and are similar prices- I'd love to know which one you'd reccomend if you own one!

Are there any other great neutral palettes out there that I should know about and look into?

Thanks guys! :)

I have Urban Decay Naked, Lorac Pro and Smashbox Full exposure. Have reviewed the first two on here so check them out. I'd recommend both, though I probably lean towards Lorac Pro. Especially if you have brown eyes! Just so buttery and pigmented. I do love Naked though, and use 'Buck' as a base for pretty much every look I do. Argh, so hard to choose lol Yet to review Smashbox Full exposure, but I'm not a big fan. I never reach for it. The shadows are not as creamy, so they don't blend as well and the pigments are not as strong as the other two. Plus I get loads of fall out. I don't think it's listed on here yet, so I'll do a full review when the Beauty Review Elves add it.

Thanks for the advice! I have been leaning towards the Lorac Pro because I have heard a lot of great things about the palette! I read both of your reviews which were very helpful- it was good to know Lorac Pro is great for brown eyes whilst the naked palette had shades to suit everyone. I had been wanting the Urban Decay Naked palette for a long but I decided I needed more matte colours in my repertoire so I have ruled it out for the time being (although I am still keen to get my hands on it when I can afford to!) I think I'm definitely leaning towards the Lorac Pro! I'll have to check Amazon seeing as you got it for such a good price from there! :)

?No worries! They are both awesome palettes, you wouldn’t be unhappy with either. But for mattes, Lorac Pro is so the way to go, Naked is heavy on the shimmer.

I am lusting after a few palettes at the moment, Naked 3, Vice 2 & Too Faced Chocolate Bar. GIVE ME ALL THE MAKE UPPPPSS.

Yep I'm wanting to try the too faced and naked palettes pretty badly now lol. Love my lime crime palettes, don't get me wrong but they are uber bright and sometimes a girl needs a neutral day ;) Oh well birthday coming up, better start to leave some hints around for the hubby hehehe =)

I am an absolute sucker for products that smell good (which is probably why I like everything that Lush makes). I've heard that the Too Faced Chocolate palette smells just like chocolate and I'd probably buy it just for that reason!
