awe thanks @veronika23 @Tamara76! happy to help ❤️
@christinagraves it's one of the few palettes i think really lives up to the hype, and it makes you step outside the box a bit too! don't be afraid to play- it's only makeup! it washes off! can't wait to see what you think 🙂
@christinagraves MR all the way, the shadows are softer and easier to blend. The Tartelette in Bloom is a bit stiffer and needs a bit more effort to blend in my opinion.
@unfungirl you have MR right? Do you have thoughts you could share to help out @christinagraves.
@christinagraves it was @unfungirl who provided you with all this great info! I did nothing. I don't have it so I couldn't comment. 🙂
Perfectly stated! Modern Renaissance is a fabulous palette! @unfungirl 💋💋💋
@unfungirl YOU ARE THE BEST! Thx! xo
yes @veronika23! @christinagraves i am a medium olive skin tone, and i felt that a lot of the tartlette in bloom shades didn't show up on me. the quality of the matte shadows especially was just ok.
i love ABH shadows, and MR is one of my most loved palettes! you can do everyday looks with shades like tempera, vermeer, burnt orange and cypress umber. to do a more dramatic look, use red ochre, love letter, burnt sienna and realgar. if you are afraid of bold colors, and truly a novice, the TIB may be more your speed though. ABH shadows are pretty easy to blend, so it's a good palette to experiment with! There are countless tutorials on the MR too- i've learned a lot about eyeshadow application from youtube 🙂
hope this helps!

Re: Subculture
Temptalia just posted an interesting article about the new palette. I find Christine is usually pretty good about staying out of online controversy, so it was interesting to see she posted about Subculture. Looks like ABH will be discussing the palette and any issues, according to Norvina.
Okay, so I couldn't resist and ordered the palette for myself. 😛 Thoughts are as follows for anyone curious:
Thanks @unfungirl & @Tamara76! I'm glad to know I'm not alone. 🙂 Now that I tried it I can't help but feel that the criticism may have been a bit premature. There's definitely a trick to it, but I think if people tried adjusting their technique then maybe they'd have more success.
Side note, did ABH ever confirm if there were quality issues? I thought they were initially 'looking into it', but now I'm starting to think this palette is exactly the way they wanted it.
@Asche i completely agree! i watched stephanie nicole and samantha ravndahl's videos so i was prepared on what to expect by the time i got my palette.
the shadows are so different from any other formula i've experienced, but i don't find them impossible at all! i find applying primer and an all over base shadow helps with blending, and i didn't have any oxidation either.
I completely agree with everything you said about Subculture! @Asche 💋💋💋
It is a beautiful palette, but a little goes a very long way! I trust Stephanie Nicole's reviews and Wayne Goss and Emily Noel also expressed similar sentiments.
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting. I'm curious to see what happens with this.
I must say though, although I really like the ABH brand, something about Norvina's attitude/responses have been rubbing me the wrong way. :S
T's initial agreement with one of her commenter's post about the palette being "high maintenance" is why I ultimately decided not to buy. I'm not a daily shadow user, nor am I very good with applying and blending shadows, so I doubt I'd reach for this very often.
If the texture of Subculture were anything like Modern Renaissance, I'm sure everyone would love it!
