Review: Modern Natural Palette by Real Techniques


I'm a huge fan of the Real Techniques brushes, so when I saw this palette a couple of months ago, I had to get it. Here's some quick info:

  • $25
  • Realtechniques.com
  • 4 shadows, 1 gel liner, 1 blush, 1 cream highlight, 2 sheer glosses (currently there is a promotion of a free brush with order)
And here's a detailed review of the palette:

Here are some closeups of the palette:
Shadows, gel liner, sheer glosses

powder blush, cream highlight

The good:
  • good pigmentation on shadows
  • glosses have creamy, non-sticky feel
  • highlight can work also as shadow
The bad:
  • blush is not that pigmented
  • glosses are too sheer and have strange smell
  • gel liner is awful to work with
  • I would not purchase this palette again. I feel as if I have these shades in other palettes that I prefer. While I love Real Techniques, I was disappointed in this product.

    Great detailed review, Elle. That's too bad the palette is not as amazing as the brushes though:( I remember Nic saying in one of the vids that the gel liner is a bit harder than the usual liners, but I can't remember how she worked with it.

    Thank you for your honest review of this product. At first look, it appears to have a terrific nude palette. I have never tried their brushes, I will look into this.

    Oh that is too bad, it does look a wee bit cheap and generally when cosmetics are chip they pigments are off and not very saturated. But I like a pale blush.

    They are pretty colors, but they do look like colors you could get in other kits very easily.

    I'm in the market for a neutral palette for summer travel; sorry to hear that this one wasn't so great. An honest review is always appreciated.

    Such a shame about the quality because having it all in one box is just wonderful and makes life so easy. x

    Sorry it was disappointing. The swatches do look like a lot of colors I have already. Great tips on using your finger rather than a brush.

    I have issues with liner to begin with so I might have nightmares about this one!

    I love your honest reviews - the $25 price tag caught my eye, but now I see it's not worth the low price! You do look gorgeous though.

    Thanks for the heads up… I am not familiar with RT brushes, but may have been lured into buying that palette since it looks so lovely!

    What a bummer! I would have expected a better product from Real Techniques. I really don't like it when cream products are put in palettes anyway. The product is just going to dry out so much faster!
