No idea why I didn't think to search for this thread earlier LOL. I posted swatches earlier on IG. Here they are in case anyone's looking for more swatches: Color Field, Exposure and Monochrome As others have said, these do kick up powder. I also have the Infinity Palette which I got at Barneys a couple months ago. I have used that one multiple times, and I tried Exposure this morning. Personally, I love them. I know Christine said she still got fall out from the Graphite palette even after tapping off the excess powder from her brush, but I have had negligible fallout with the 2 palettes I've tried (I do tap a couple good times before applying though!). And I found the shades on all of them to be smooth and buttery when swatching. And I had no problems blending, again unlike Christine with the Graphite palette. I didn't get Graphite so maybe that particular palette is a little off? Or maybe we just have different expectations and preferences. But either way I think people are just going to be quite divided about these palettes!

Your swatches are killing me :thud:

Your swatches are killing me

LOL Dolly I was thinking of you today when I posted that Monochrome swatch! I guess it didn't let you down, huh!

 

[elegant-one]

It's smooth and pigmented C but Definitely powdery! It makes sense to just tap the brush to pick up the colors than swirl it bec that would kick up a looot of powder!!

Thanks for the pics & swatches hun!!!

You would think some quality control would have come in to play. Someone didn't swatch them & go....oh, that is too powdery!!!

I'm thinking maybe just the sephora excl Graphite maybe isn't as good because your swatches look great. Thanks

It definitely didn't let me down. your swatches proved, I will get monochrome!
It is so beautiful!

 

[Rinstar]

Hmmm well I was going to try to get just one of these.... But I really want both Color Field and Exposure!

The GREENS.....the greens are killing me----I love them!!!! But I'm skipping these. Thanks so much for
taking the time to swatch them and enlighten us.

Those swatches are beautiful! ️️️

 

[beauteblogueur]

Huh, I thought I'd be all over these but the only one that's appealing to me right now is Color Field and I think I have too many similar shades to warrant getting it. I wish there were one or two palettes that didn't include any neutrals.

I'd written off color field because I really don't NEED any more green but those swatches! Back to Sephora I go

Whoops! Thanks for catching that.

 

[figarro]

No problem. I was confused for a moment, thinking was there a comparison swatch or something? lol
Anyway, thanks for giving us update

Well, as much as I love Hourglass products, I'll not be buying any from now on. I'm kinda of disgusted that they think it's okay to charge £56 for the new palettes. To give you an idea, in USD they are $58, here they will be £56 according to the blog source Makeup4All. $58 is about £40. £56 is about $84.

Really disgusted by this.
