My  Experience with Redemption Palette Hot Smoked

The product comes in a sleek bar type palette. The brand name is printed in the front of the palette.The packaging is travel friendly and it has all the details and ingredients of the product at the back of the palette. It comes with a dual ended sponge tip applicator. It contains 12 pigmented eye shadows   both in matte and metallic finish. These eye shadows are perfect for creating sultry smokey looks. This eye shadow  palette is said to be a dupe of Urban Decay Smoked palette since I don’t have UD palette so I can’t say much  whether it is a perfect dupe or not, but some shades are similar to UD smoked palette . All shades are soft and smooth and can be easily worked on and blended. It is advisable to apply eye shadow primer for best colour payoff and prevent creasing. These shadows stay for 7 to 8 hours with primer and 4 to 5 hours without primer after which it starts to fade. These shadows have minimum fall outs. It has 5 matte shades and 7 shimmery shades. I am quite impressed with the shimmery shades but matte shades are a bit chalky except black. Let’s take a look at the shades one by one as these shadows are nameless, we will number them from left to right for better understanding.

Final verdict

Overall I am very happy with the palette and as a beginner it is a worthy investment. It is  cheap and easily available.
