The Subversive palette features a striking array of ten bold and unconventional shades, including vibrant hues and deep, sultry tones. It offers a mix of matte, shimmer, and metallic finishes, allowing for the creation of diverse eye looks from dramatic to editorial-inspired. Subversive includes standout “special shades,” including intense metallics and unique duochromes, enhancing the palette’s ability to create complex eye looks.
The eyeshadows have intense pigmentation, providing rich color payoff with vibrant hues that pop. The mattes and metallics have a creamy texture that glides smoothly onto the eyelids. While more daring in color selection, the palette can be adapted for both daytime and nighttime looks, offering versatility for various occasions and styles. The shades are carefully curated to complement each other, inspiring creative makeup looks.
The Mothership III palette is priced at the high end, but it is a worthwhile investment for its unique artistic edge and exceptional formula.
As always with the Mothership palettes, the palette is housed in a high-quality, heavy black case adorned with gold accents and a large beveled mirror.
