Which Produce You Lot Need? | Anastasia Soft Glam Vs. Modern Renaissance
Ok, thence you've decided to pick upward an Anastasia eyeshadow palette: nifty life choice! As we'll instruct onto; I intend the lineament of their formula is correct upward there. However, their palettes aren't precisely inexpensive as well as both Soft Glam as well as Modern Renaissance offering wearable day-to-night shades. Today I'm going to survive comparison the palettes to assist you lot determine which i powerfulness survive for you.
Product as well as packaging
Both the Soft Glam* and the Modern Renaissance retail for £43 as well as come upward amongst xiv shades. It's non a huge deal, but it's worth noting that the Soft Glam contains 0.74g per pan whereas the before Modern Renaissance is solely 0.7g. It is prissy though that, inward a the world where we're mostly paying to a greater extent than for less product, Anastasia is increasing their pan size (perhaps inward reply to the feedback that these practice conduct hold some fallout thence you lot powerfulness hitting pan sooner?)
They come upward inward the same packaging - the outside is felt as well as you lot instruct a dual-ended brush (I unremarkably don't role these but volition admit this i is pretty expert quality). I practice uncovering the felt gets grubby really easily on both of these light-colours palettes, which is annoying. Outside of that it's business office as well as travel-friendly thence does the project for me.
The formula
I honey the Anastasia eyeshadow formula, as well as along amongst these 2 palettes, I ain many of their singles. It's pigmented as well as blends beautifully, having genuinely expert longevity. Across both of the palettes, I don't intend there's a unmarried shade that I uncovering difficult work! What I would tell is that they boot upward quite a fleck of fallout - I don't ain Subculture but from the YouTube videos I've seen, these aren't every bit bad every bit that one! I tend to gently tap my brush into the production - you lot definitely don't demand to swirl it some or dig inward - similar I said, they're really pigmented as well as you lot don't demand a lot on the brush to instruct that payoff.
The shades
We'll showtime amongst the Soft Glam. Three of the shades (Tempera, Burnt Orange as well as Republic of Cyprus Umber) are repeated from the Modern Renaissance, which I know disappointed some people. However I uncovering those shades to survive the measure flexure colours, thence it doesn't genuinely bother me because they aren't what brand my makeup looks unlike to i another. There are some shades from their permanent hit inward hither every bit good - I practice genuinely conduct hold Sienna already.
Personally I honey the shade as well as destination selection. I similar that at that topographic point are several lid colours inward hither as well as using the foiled yellowish aureate Bronze creates a completely unlike await to the warm pinky-purple shimmer Rose Pink. Glistening is a genuinely pretty low-cal peachy shimmer which tin survive used across the lid on fairer peel tones or every bit a highlighter if your colouring is deeper. In price of flexure colours, every bit good every bit warmer mattes similar Burnt Orange as well as Sienna, there's also a cool taupe shade inward Dusty Rose as well as something deeper inward the reddish-purple chocolate-brown Mulberry (I LOVE this shade every bit I don't conduct hold anything else quite similar it inward my collection).
I move a lot amongst this palette because it's versatile as well as I tin role it for natural daytime looks or when I'm going amount glam for the evening. I pick it upward ahead of a 24-hour interval at the business office only every bit much every bit I accomplish for it when getting ready for a even out, which is what keeps me opting for it fourth dimension as well as fourth dimension again.
Onto the Modern Renaissance! Do you lot recall the hysteria when this launched? It's silent i of the internet's favourite beauty products a brace of years later. Although at that topographic point are i or 2 cool shades thrown in, this is really much a warm-toned palette, though I practice intend it suits a lot of peel tones based on looks I've seen using it on YouTube as well as Instagram. It is primarily a matte palette amongst iii truthful shimmers as well as 2 that conduct hold a slight sheen (so are debatable). I regularly accomplish for this when I only desire i shade from it because at that topographic point are thence many flexure colours that for a lot of my looks i of these volition work.
At the same time, I don't instruct the role out of this that I'd hoped - yet difficult I try, my makeup looks tend to await similar to each other amongst the Modern Renaissance. I've said many times that I'm non a makeup artist, as well as every bit I mentioned, you lot tin encounter lots of tutorials online featuring this palette but I only desire something I tin catch inward the morn as well as role intuitively. On the average day, the shade that calls out to me every bit a lid colouring cloth is the low-cal aureate Primavera (as I rarely instruct for all-matte looks), thence I tin either instruct for a warm flexure colouring cloth similar Raw Sienna or Golden Ochre or a cool i similar Warm Taupe or Buon Fresco. If I desire to switch things upward a pinkish or blood-red similar Love Letter or Red Ochre is pretty. However I practice uncovering myself getting a fleck bored amongst the looks I create when I role this palette on its ain for an extended current of fourth dimension as well as I know most people don't desire to pass £43 on a palette as well as thence experience every bit though they conduct hold to role it amongst something else!
How to choose
If you're all close warm-toned mattes thence I intend Modern Renaissance is for you. It has pretty much all of the matte colours you lot need, making it a nifty option. If you're someone who doesn't genuinely need shimmers but volition instruct role of the i or 2 inward hither for highlighting, thence this could also function for you.
If you lot don't pass a lot of coin on makeup as well as only desire i palette that tin practice it all for you, thence I intend it only has to survive Soft Glam. I personally can't instruct plenty of it as well as I estimate it says it all that I've used to a greater extent than of it inward the 2 months since getting Soft Glam than inward the 2 years I've had Modern Renaissance!
My verdict
If it wasn't totally obvious already: my vote goes to Soft Glam. I know some people conduct hold complained it's 'boring' or whatever, but most people investing inward a high-end palette desire something wearable as well as this tin conduct hold you lot from 24-hour interval to black as well as it's slowly to create versatile looks using Soft Glam. It's pretty ironic that I rushed out as well as bought Modern Renaissance the mo it dropped as well as haven't reached for it that much, but amongst Soft Glam I'd talked myself out of buying it before Cult Beauty sent it over to me out of the blue, yet role it to expiry now!
