The Gabriel Classic Palette was created to portray the ever so popular, “no-makeup” look. The palette contains both warm and cool-tone matte neutrals, making the shadows versatile, wearable, and (as intended) perfect for those “no-makeup” makeup days 😉 Personally, I love wearing matte neutral shades on my eyes to achieve an effortless look– and the shadows in this palette are perfect for just that! I used Bone all over my top lid up to my brow bone, then I applied Taupe on my eyelid under the crease, and finally I used Chocolate Brown to define the crease and my lower lash line. The shadows in this palette are phenomenal for more than one reason! Besides the gorgeous color selection, the quality shadows are pigmented, smooth, and the colors don’t fade during the day.

One of the most exciting things about this palette is that it comes with a limited edition blush! I’m a sucker for anything “limited edition”, and this blush is no exception! The blush is appropriately called Baked Apricot because it’s an auburn/browned orange shade. I haven’t tried many blushes in the auburn color family, but this one is stunning! It applies smooth onto my cheeks to give just the right amount of flush! Just be careful to apply with a light hand as this blush is super pigmented! I think this color is perfect for Fall/Winter, when we’re all looking for those rosy cheeks to peek through!

After creating a gorgeous look with the shadows and blush in this palette, of course we need a smooth finish – and that’s exactly what Gabriel Color gave us by including a translucent powder. I’m a big fan of translucent powders because they help set your makeup without creating a huge “cake-face”. The translucent powder in this palette is finely milled and creates a flawless finish that’s just amazing!

All in all, I think the Gabriel Classic Palette is amazing. The beautiful colors and quality just can’t be beat. Another great thing about this palette is that all of the products within it are magnetic and interchangeable with other Gabriel Color products. So if you do want to switch it up and carry one brighter eyeshadow or maybe a different blush, you can go ahead and switch the product of your choice. As for me, I think this palette is perfect as is. I love the selection of neutral eyeshadows as well as the beautiful browned orange blush and flawless setting powder. This palette is sure to become a must-have for me, and for that matter, anyone who tries it!
