Makeup Revolution Reloaded Iconic Fever Palette

Today's look is this orange brown look that I created using Makeup Revolution Reloaded Iconic Fever palette. This palette is a blatant dupe for Urban Decay's Naked Heat, and there are shade for shade dupes. I don't have the Naked Heat, so I cannot do a direct comparison, but why would I get this if I already have the original right?

This palette is very reminiscent of the Morphe 35O or any of its sequels, which I used to have but decluttered before I moved to Germany. I still have the 35O2 which I love for the improved formula, and it stops me from buying more orangey warm palettes because I have every shade of orange in there already.

Moving on to the Makeup Revolution palette, I think it's rather easy to blend but it's really soft so it kicks up a lot of powder and there's definitely fallout. I am not such a fan of fallout because they irritate my eyes throughout the day, unless I set my eyeshadow. As with all orangey looks, it doesn't really blend with my skin tone and I end up looking weirdly dirty and muddy somehow. I look brighter with cranberry shade and duller with orange.

As for the individual shades, there is one white shimmer that barely showed up, and two orange shimmer that looked identical on my arm swatches. However, taking into consideration that they are duping the Naked Heat, I guess this fault lies with the original rather than Makeup Revolution. I wish the darkest matte shade could be more pigmented, it hardly showed up when I used it with my little crease brush to darken my outer corners.

I have coveted the Naked Heat since it came out, and I am glad to at least have a good dupe of it. Makeup Revolution Reloaded line has the best formula of the brand, and I think they are really great quality for the price. In fact, they are my favourite shadows right now, ranking higher than my high end palettes like Anastasia or Lorac. However, I think we all know the orange trend is fading and the pink trend is coming up again, so I think Makeup Revolution definitely released this palette too late. Nonetheless, I wish there were more Reloaded palettes I could buy, I want more of this awesome formula at great prices!
