Hourglass Modernist Palette Review

February 4, 2015

The minute I received an email from Sephora notifying me that the Hourglass Modernist Palette that I’d been lusting over was available for sale, I headed over immediately to make my purchase. ย I’m a huge fan of many Hourglass products and this palette looked gorgeous. ย The Modernist palettes are available in seven different options. ย They all look beautiful to me. ย Each palette has five different eye shadow colors that have a variety of textures and finishes. ย The shadows can be applied rather sheer or can be built up for additional coverage. ย Each palette retails for $58.

Here’s my Hourglass Modernist palette review for your reading pleasure. ย  I purchased the palette Monochrome, which is the rose tones. ย I love rose tones with all eye colors. ย I think all of the colors are beautiful and blend out well. ย The shadows are nice and creamy feeling for a powder product. ย They weren’t chalky at all to me, as I’ve heard some of the others have been.

This palette is a little bit on the expensive side for just five eyeshadow colors. ย I do love these colors, but really feel like you can pass on this palette and get one such as the Naked 3 (also rose tones) from Urban Decay for a better value. ย It has double the number of eyeshadow colors in the same color range and also offers a variety of textures and finishes.

Let me know if you purchased any of the Hourglass Modernist Palettes and what you think of them. ย Thanks for stopping by!

    I love all things Hourglass (except photographing them – so hard!!!). I skipped on the new shadow palette because it started triggering my OCD issues. Haha! I like my shadows in neat compartments. I started stressing out about the colors blending with each other, what would happen if you hit pan on one color – so I decided to skip it. They are gorgeous though!

    I do agree that the palette is pretty expensive for only 5 eyeshadows, but I was happy to see that the amount you get of each color seems to be a pretty decent size.

    I haven’t purchased this palette yet — I think I’m kind of waiting for it to be available in stores at Sephora so I can play around with it. Thanks for sharing the swatches. They look pretty pigmented — and they’re all colors I would use. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hourglass always sucks me in with their amazing packaging and gorgeous shade range, but sadly I haven’t heard very many good things about these palettes. The shadows are gorgeous, but I agree that UD Naked 3 is away better value!

    I think i would rather buy the naked 3 palette as an eyeshadow , but the rose nude, peony pink & light mauve seem perfect to use them as a blush!

      That’s true and makes this palette a multi-tasker. Thanks for stopping by! Stacie xo
