 LORAC PRO PALETTE : THE PACKAGING.

the Lorac pro palette is definitely meant to suit the busy doll that you certainly are ,the packaging is flat , sleek , matte black and light as a feather .
you can easily pop this bad guy in your bag and fly out the door .
The “pro” labelled palette really is PRO, no fancy theme here , this baby goes straight to the point .The colours are named accordingly “white” is white and “taupe” is taupe.
the palette contains 8.8g of products , wish represents 0.55g per eyeshadows .
the palette also comes with a primer .

THE LOOK








LET’S COMPARE!

LORAC PRO PALETTE vs  NAKED1

PACKAGING

The Lorac pro palette is a definite winner for me , lighter and slimmer ,this is the palette that I would take on the go with me .

COLOR SELECTION

Again the Lorac pro palette is the winner here ,the balance between warm and cool allow every look possible,including a beautiful deep purple and a lovely garnet  ,with are perfect for fall .
The naked palette is lacking in the matte eyeshadow department .I would have love to see a matte black and  a matte brown , both present in the Lorac pro palette.
The Lorac pro palette remind me of a professional makeup palette with all the basics you’ll ever need whereas the Naked palette contains really cool fashionable colours wish make both palettes a must have to my opinion because after all it all depends on what you’re after .

 QUALITY

The naked palette has the best texture , smooth, creamy , perfect. But the Lorac pro palettehas definitely perfect pigmentation and blend ability , it just has that slightly dryer texture than the Naked , prefect for oilier lids by the way.I have ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTS about this palette .

VALUE FOR MONEY

Both palette has amazing value for money but the ultimate winner is the Naked palette ,you are getting twelve full size eyeshadows  a good primer and a brush (or eyeliner),so no question here The Naked palette is AMAZING.

MY PICK

I would rather get the LORAC PRO to be honest .This palette allow a bigger range of looks , going from the basic matte classic defined eyes to the dark plumy gothic look if I wanted to . So to my opinion it is worth every penny as you getting more out of it .

WOULD I GET BOTH ?

HELL YES LOL
