HD Glamour Creme Palette, Blush

I bought this because a youtube make-up artist recommended these cream foundations for versatility in coverage building and their insane color range. Women who are ultra fair and women of color on the medium/dark spectrum have such a difficult time finding a product, yet alone a company, that caters to their color needs. Graftobian makes SO many colors, I'm a little weak in the knees just thinking about it. I have always been a department/drug store makeup user, and had no idea that I could get better results with professional makeup artist products. Well, I had no idea you could buy them on Amazon!I'm always buying makeup and throwing it away because the color is never right for me. These palettes come in all color ranges and are separated by the warm, neutral, and cool categories. I have no idea what these categories actually mean, but I'd read somewhere that the "warm" line is for people with a very yellow base to their skin. Knowing that yellow is my enemy (though I actually do have a yellow base to the skin on my neck, I have patches of ruddiness on my face that made me think I was pink-based), I steered clear of the "warm" palette. Because I had no idea what "cool" meant, I went for the "neutral" palette (#1, the lightest palette...well, actually they have an 'ultra light' palette that's even lighter than this....if you can believe it!). The lightest color in this palette is bombshell, which to my surprise was way too light on me. Good for a concealer under the eyes, but too light for foundation. My exact (and I do mean EXACT) color match turned out to be one color over, Prima Donna (*angels singing*). Currently, I'm applying it over moisturizer and primer with a Real Techniques stippling brush that I spritz with Skindinavia's makeup setting spray--buffing it into my skin. It looks amazing.The coverage options you have...full, medium, or sheer, is amazing to me. I'm used to buying drugstore products that are either sheer or medium coverage, and usually the sheer stuff isn't buildable. I feel like I have endless possibilities with this foundation so I needn't buy other products. PLUS, I use the same shade for concealing blemishes. No need to buy concealer! This stuff is great. I even have sensitive, acne prone skin. I've been using this for a week and haven't noticed that my skin is freaking out about it. I'll have to post an update in another few weeks to know for sure.You could use the darker shades in the palette for bronzing, so really there's not too much waste in purchasing this palette. Now that I've found "my" color, I can purchase the larger, single size/single color in this shade. So worth it!

Very pleasantly surprised by this foundation! I purchased the Neutral 1 palette and its perfect. The coverage is amazing and the finish is beautiful, but does need to be set with powder. My skin runs toward the cooler side, but the cool palette was quite a bit more expensive so I thought I'd try the neutral. It's perfect! I use the lightest shade for highlighting and for under my eyes. There's not a shade dark enough to contour with, but when I use my contouring palette to add the dark tones it blends beautifully. The only complaint I have is that it does seem to settle into the fine lines under my eyes a bit and does crease even with powder. To avoid this, I've been dabbing a little extra moisturizer on and I make sure to use a primer. Let the foundation set for a few minutes before putting the powder on. After that I have been using urban decay's makeup setting spray and that made all the difference! Now I get a perfect airbrushed finish that lasts all day and thankfully doesn't break me out. I'm one of those rare women with dry acne prone skin, so a lot of foundations really look terrible on my dry skin even with moisturizing and priming. Thankfully this one is perfect! To get the best finish and to use the least amount of product, use a damp beauty blender or something similar. I've been using the real techniques version that was around $5. I end up using about half the product that I would with a brush and it's full coverage. Covers all acne and scarring along with hyperpigmentation. With a brush you can layer it to get full coverage, but you end up using more and it leaves lines. Using your fingers would probably work fine as well. I have tried every high end and drug store foundation known to man, including derma blend that I used for a long time. This is way smoother and not cakey! Go for it and try it! I'm getting ready to buy another one!

I saw an Instagram post from Caroline Baron who was demonstrating the use of this foundation on her “chemo skin” which was severely inflamed and red. I have an autoimmune disease which causes bright red spots on my face but not all over as in Ms. Baron’s case. I decided to give it a try. Not only did the makeup not cover my spots, it sunk into my fine lines around my eyes almost immediately. I cannot believe the difference in coverage I obtained when compared to Ms. Baron. Typically I would just eat the cost of this product as another failed foundation, but this time I am returning the product to Amazon. I thank Amazon for allowing me to do this. If you are looking to cover severe inflammation or redness, this is not the product.

I use this for personal use and by no means am I a guru. Just a girl who loves makeup. I was looking for a face palette that could do it all and that I could easily carry even in my small purse and this fits the bill. Color is warm 2 and with a bit of double or triple dipping I am able to achieve my perfect shade AND bronze! Initially I bought a mixing tray with a spatula. But after carving out quite a bit and not being able to cover not even my nose, I thought I made a big mistake. I decided to go into it with my finger and just create streaks and buff it out with a slightly dense foundation brush (my usual). My next concern was achieving the right shade each time. I switched over to a foundation brush and just swipe over the first three shades and go for it. Then I finish off with the first shade to highlight the center of my face and everything looks balanced and PERFECT. Coverage is FLAWLESS and easily medium but more of a full- but still buildable. Covers my freckles. And lasts about 14 hrs with no touch up. I chose this over rcma after reading rcma needs to be warmed up which doesn’t work for me because I have dry reactive skin. This formula is creamy but not wet. Minimal transfer that I’ve noticed. I only set under eye and chin cause of redness. And at the 14th hour, it finally starts looking patching and then u can see the redness peak thru. Pictures on site don’t equate to the product so hopefully my pics against a white paper helps.

I work on television and I've used this for years, primarily as a highlighter under the eyes and the darker color as a cheek contour. It allowed me to get made up fairly quickly. here's the problem -- it gets on everything. It's greasy and if you touch your face, even barely, it's on your hands and will dirty up the next thing you touch. I have to wipe it off my desk and phone every day and I have to wash any clothing I wear if I wear this makeup. There are cleaner ways to contour. Also, I noticed that my natural cheek color -- when my face is clean -- is darker in the area where I use this product to contour. It's almost like I have some sort of vague reaction to it. I have also gotten acne bumps in that same area when I use it regularly. So, I still have it on hand, but I don't use it every day.

If you’re looking for a small but diversely shaded blush palette, this one is very good! Though a bit pricey, it’s worth the purchase if these are colors you would use ** see note below regarding shades!The Graftobian formula is very creamy, richly pigmented, and very user friendly. It blends well and looks so pretty on your face. It’s a natural satin finish. It’s rich in pigment, but does sheer out nicely. I found the wear time to be a normal 8 hour workday with only minimal fading.The reason I’m deducting one star is the shade range within the palette. The description states pink and red shades. The majority of these shades are very peachy, not pink. There’s only one shade I’d call pink and it’s a warm pink. The deepest shade is a red based shade, that blends out into a warm rusty terracotta. None of this is a problem if those are the tones you’re looking for, but I was in the market for true pinks, even some cool toned options. All the shades are warm leaning. They’re lovely and there’s a nice variation between depth of each shade, so this isn’t a criticism of anything other than the description doesn’t align with actual colors, and unfortunately I was looking for something different.

I love this make up has great coverage and wears great through the day.

This is practically a sample size! I would not have paid this price if I would have known how small this palette was! I can barely fit my brush or beauty bud in it go get any product out. It’s a good cream foundation, but needs to be bigger!!

As a makeup artist, I found this product, easy to work with especially as a under eye concealer. Helps to reduce the fine lines .

too expensive comparing to the size

I love this one, I only use the two darkest shades and use it to do creme contour. I think it looks really nice, also I'm fair to light in skintone.
