Adriana Nichole Cosmetics "I Am Everything" Palette: Why The Hype?
I've been experimenting with the palette for a few weeks now and needless to say, I'm obsessed with the results. The eyeshadows are highly pigmented and easy to apply, whether you're going for s subtle daytime look or something more dramatic for evening glam. Obviously, my favorite shade is "Ethereal," which also received the most attention on TikTok.
The palette's packaging is sleek and modern, with a bright orange interior that feels fun and bright. To me, it feels luxurious and sturdy, making it the perfect addition to any vanity. Inside, the nine eyeshadow shades are arranged in rows of three and feature a variety of sparkly, shimmery colors that are chameleon-like, changing shape every time you blink. The pigmentation is ultra high, and the shadows blend effortlessly onto the skin.
What I love are the three matte shades, included to add some dimension to the crease of the lid — these can add some dimension and depth to whatever makeup look you're crafting. Plus, you can also wear these solo without the shiny colors, so you are getting the most bang for your buck. You'll also find that these shades are almost universally flattering, regardless of the what eye color you have. Finally, I love that the formula is super long-lasting formula — it stays put throughout the day without creasing or fading away.
Adriana Nichole Cosmetics 'I Am Everything' Palette: How To Use
What you'll need is a fluffy blending blush and possibly a flat shader brush — but really you could just use your finger, it's that easy. We'd also suggest grabbing your favorite eyeshadow primer so that this bright color payoff lasts as long as possible, but you don't have to.
After priming your lids (if you choose to), cover your entire eyelid with either your fluffy brush, flat brush or finger with your base layer of eyeshadow. Then, you can gradually go over said eyeshadow with a second or third layer until you are able to achieve the result you want.
The Final Verdict
Adriana Nichole's viral eyeshadow palette is a must-have for any makeup beginner or enthusiast. The combination of high-quality ingredients, stunning shades and exceptional performance make it work for absolutely anyone. If you're a makeup newbie looking to elevate your beauty game, investing in this palette allows for you to seamlessly craft what looks like an expert level look in a matter of seconds.
For those who are more experienced, the color range and ease of this palette will allow you to create endlessly cool makeup looks. The cruelty-free, independent makeup brand is a 10 out of 10 in our book.
