Questions & Answers for LORAC PRO Palette

Question

NAKED or Pro Palette?

Should I buy this palette or NAKED? I prefer more warm shades compared to cool, because of my yellow undertones. Thank you!

My personal preference is Lorac PRO and the reason for that is the PRO all top row are matte colors and lower row are shimmery,
you can create more looks to go out for every occasion no matter day or night and the best part you get an eye primer with the PRO.
Hope this helped, have a beautiful day.

I find this to be way better than the naked pallete in terms of colour selection. But, if you do decide to go with the naked pallete --- stick with Naked 1 (The original), though these shadows are way better in quality, selection, and just overall presentation.

I have the Naked and the Lorac Pro and if I could buy the Lorac Pro before the Naked I would have done so. I have yellow undertoned skin and this palette offers so many more options than the naked palette. Of course, Urban Decay's palettes are awesome - but I really love the color range this palette offers.

If you want pigmented shadows I suggest go for the Pro Palette, but if you want a lighter shadow then I'd recommend the Naked Palette. Both are very beautiful, I think Naked has a bit more browns than the Pro Palette. It really depends on which shadows you prefer.

answer 8

If you want variety, go for this palette. It's more colors for a cheaper price: which is better than the Naked palette anyways. If you want quality, then it's debatable. Both LORAC and UD have nothing to complain about and generally get good reviews on their respective palettes. UD is popular for a reason, of course, and is usually the one people compare other palettes to. That being said, LORAC still holds it own with this palette with the buttery soft and blendable quality of the matte and shimmer eyeshadows. If you want more (more mattes, more variety, more eye looks, etc) I'd recommend LORAC. If you want what's obviously the "best" go for UD. Either way you can't go wrong.

How does the Lorac Pro Palette compare to the Laura Mercier Artist palette in qualifty and colors. I am fair skinned and hazel eyes and over 40.with brown hair. So glitter does not work for me.

honestly, stick with Laura Mercier. Although she does have some shimmery shades, her shadows I find create a more natural look. the LORAC PRO palette does have some really nice matte shades, but you would be spending $42 to only use half the palette.

Not sure how it compare to Mercier, but there is far less glitter fall-out with this palette than the UD naked. I've only noticed a minimal amount of fall-out with 1 shade (champagne). As a general hint, I've found that it helps if you apply lighter shades with your fingers (dab and pat!).

I can't speak about the Laura Mercier palette because I don't own it, however this palette's shades are flattering because half of the shades are matte finish and the other half have a nice shimmer but no glitter. Hope that helps some.

Hi this palette is not glittery at all. The bottom row is what I would call frost / shimmery. I have fair skin, slight yellow undertones, hazel eyes and I'm 51 so I am careful about not looking too "glitzy" the top row is matte. I've blended some of the matte and frost together and applied them to nice affect.

answer 5

I'm glad you asked. Your hazel eyes will pop with the Laura Mercier palette.

There is no contest between Lorac and Laura. The Laura Mercier palette is superior in every way.

For example:
*Packaging - They are both compact, but Laura's is faux snake skin and Lorac is cheap cardboard.

*Formula - The Lorac formula is too soft. It irritated my eyes during application.

*Colors - For a maturing lady, the Laura Mercier colors are more flattering. The mattes are truly matte. The matte colors in the Lorac palatte have some shimmer.

*Application - The Laura Mercier shadows can be used with or without eye shadow primer. The Lorac colors need primer to stay in place.

*Durability - The Laura Mercier palette will be cleaner longer than the Lorac palette, which will become dirty quickly due to the soft formula of the shadows.

*Pigment - The pigments are richer in the Laura Mercier palette. I've heard a lot of reviews about Lorac pigments, but Laura is better.

I hope my answer helps you make a decision.

answer 6

I think the Lorac palette would be better - the entire top row is all matte - and i wouldn't consider most of the bottom particularly glittery - just shimmery. Only one is truly glittery. I tend to use the matte colors more myself - and if I feel a little bland I'll blend in just a bit of one of the more shimmery colors - either across the base of my lid or just in the crease. I also have fairly hooded eyes and tend to crease eyeshadow easily, and the primer that's included prevents all of that.

Question

Are these eyeshadows too powdery?

I'm debating whether or not to buy this palette and I've seen a few reviews that complain the shadows are too powdery, not pigmented enough, have a lot of fallout, or don't blend well. Basically they say that these shadows are lower quality than average Lorac shadows. Is this true?

answer 1

It is not true. The colors are highly pigmented and very creamy. They are the creamiest shadows I have ever used. They almost feel like creams. They blend beautifully too. I paint and I know whenever you have neural or muted colors there is a risk they will become muddy when blended, but these have been carefully pigmented and blend beautifully. The quality is just like the other Lorac shadows I own. The fallout is minimal. Fallout issues are partly product, partly the brush and partly technique. If you load a stiff brush with product and then drag it letting the bristles separate and fan, naturally the product will spatter. Using a softer brush helps and so does a light touch.

The shadows can be a bit powdery and the pigmentation is pretty good but not exceptional. Some of the lighter shades can look similar to one another. I think it's a pretty average palette. The shadows are easy to work with and blend. I would say get it if you think you will get a lot of use out of the color selection.

I have worked with palettes whose powder ends up everywhere, ruining your look and making you start from scratch. This palette is certainly not one of those. Like any eye-shadow, applying it quickly and shabbily will create sub-par results, but this palette is great for people who really love make-up and know how to put it on properly.

My favorite look with this palette so far is using Lt Bronze on the inner third of the eye, Pewter across the rest of the lid and then Deep Purple blended in the outer "v" and slightly in the crease. Then use Mauve as a transition/blending color above the crease and Cream as a highlight on the browbone.

I love my UD Naked 1 and 2 palette, but I tend to go toward my Lorac Pro palette more often because of all the matte colors. However, the shadows on the Lorac Pro are softer so it has more fall out.
For me, both the UD palettes and Lorac Pro palette lasted me all day and night if I put primer before application.

I've recently tested out both the Lorac Pro and Urban Decay Naked (can't remember if it was I or II) palette and I went with the Lorac palette. The range of colors works for so many looks. SUPER pigmented and the primer works wonders! The UD palette is great, but doesn't quite match up. Especially when they're almost the same price. One thing about the Lorac shadows is that it's very powdery but not a big deal.

I have the UD 1 pallette and was going to get the UD 2 pallette but opted for the Lorac instead,...and boy I am so glad I went with Lorac. I would recommend getting the Lorac because it has 8 matte colors and 8 shimmery colors. I really like the Lorac shimmery ones because I can use them everyday and do not feel they have as much sparkle as some of the colors in the UD 1. The UD 1 only has 2 matte colors and I think the UD 2 is similiar (mostly shimmer and just a couple of matte colors). I do like my UD pallette, but use the Lorac more because of the matte options and the colors are highly pigmented and wear great (no creasing, and it comes with a primer). Also, I don't seem to have as much fall out with the Lorac as I do with the UD. HTH
