The high quality version should be available soon, it takes a while for Youtube to sort that out.

Well ok... I said I didn't want to buy this palette... arrgh that is so tempting, the colors are really bright and intense, I really like the finish it's kinda like the veluxe pear in MAC e/s isn't it? Great look, you see, Purples suit you really well

I love that look. I really appreciate how you acheived the shape of the eye by extending it out at the outer edges. Nice touch with the silver, too. I like to do that same thing with either metallic shadows or reflects glitter.

Ummm...why don't I have that palette? I love it. Are you pretty pleased with it overall?

It is the Lumiere Grande Colour Palette. There are 6 and 12 colour versions.

Yeah it's the 12-color Ben Nye Grande Lumiere palette. I am very pleased with it overall. Amazing price for top quality shadows! Per piece it is cheaper than MAC shadows and just as good, if not better! (Better than NYX for example.) I did a review with swatches of this palette and other Ben Nye products on my Youtube channel, you can check them out if you want. I also provided a link there to the online store I bought it from. There's only one of them (the light golden shadow) which I don't like as much, it's a bit chunky (kind of reminds me of the Luster shadows from MAC). But the other ones are extremely pigmented and so bright, very blendable...great palette if you like really strong bright colours! Probably not that useful for people who like more neutral looks, although these are great to adding just a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral look. The quality is definitely much better than the MAC C-Shock shadows released last year...The finish of the BN shadows is sort of similar to MAC Veluxe Pearls, only not quite as metallic for some of them, but they have that great intensity.

I really enjoyed that tutorial; not to mention the look is magnificent! I love metallic-y eyes...Very summery..great to wear for a summertime night out (great for clubbing, but perfect for dinner or movies too

)..and a hot alternative to smokey eyes for night-wear!


I so like watching your videos...you have real talent, that's for sure...but you also have a lot of good qualities that make you special...Like..your voice is very comforting...You explain things well (and you properly demonstrate techniques, which many people who make tutorials DON'T!)...And, you don't have a circus going on in the background like so many tutorial makers do..(ie: people walking back and forth, the radio blasting [if you DO have music, it's very subtle and nice..not blasting and distracting], kids yelling/screaming, etc.). Anyway, I'm just trying to say I LOVE your videos, and I really appreciate the time and work you put into them!

I am sooo sad I don't have that Ben Nye palette...I'm sure I could duplicate the products; it may not be exact, but it would have that general effect..AND it might be fun to try the look with slightly different colors!

Thanks SO much!
