Hung vanngo - anyone try it yet?

[ManiBanani82]

Really want to try one of the palettes - has anyone tried the warm neutral one yet?

Thanks for the tag @itsfi . I only have the Composed Cool palette and it looks like this. I have seen the other New Neutral and Warm palettes in store and they look like a great group. Also agree with all comments below ⬇️ from @WinglessOne , @danielledanielle and itsfi ⬇️ .

Thanks for the tag, @itsfi !

@ManiBanani82  I have the green palette (Generous Green and Yellow) and the blue one (Brilliant Blue). The mattes aren’t buttery, but also not dusty chalky dry. They have a lightweight powdery texture that’s kind to eyelid texture/wrinkles. These are the kinds of matte shadows you can apply in soft layers and build up to whatever opacity you want. (Eh, the darkest green shade in Generous Green & Yellow does pack an immediate color punch though.) Some of the satins/metallics feel silky and kinda emollient, which makes them fairly easy to work with. Pretty sure Hung said he wanted these palettes to be beginner-friendly, and I think he nailed that with performance.

If you play with a tester in-store and the swatches underwhelm you, there’s a good chance the shadows will perform differently with brushes on your eyes. I can say that about some other brands’ palettes too, but it’s especially true with these. I was iffy on the green palette when I finger-swatched a tester on my arm, mostly because of the mattes. But it wound up working well on my lids. 

I know you’re interested in the neutral warm palette but, for the heck of it, here are my swatches of the two palettes I have. If these photos look blurry, click/tap on ‘em to open them full size and uncompressed:

The last and 3rd from last eyeshadow swatches look alike in this photo, but they’re not. This photo doesn’t do ‘em justice. Those are the 2 satin shadows in the palette. The 2 shinier shadows are metallics, and the rest are mattes.

@ManiBanani82, the shadows in the Hung Vanngo eyeshadow palette have great pigmentation and are easy to use. I initially had mixed feelings about them when I first swatched them in store when they launched - the matte shades I really liked but I wasn't so keen on the sparklier shades - that's not unusual, but I've since learned to appreciate the shimmery and metallic shades when I use an eyeshadow primer, a must for me and my oily eyelids. When I swatched the shadows in store the first time I didn't layer a primer underneath and that was a mistake. The swatches below (of his Wonderful Warm eyeshadow palette) are more recent and are done over the NARS Pro-Prime™ Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base. 

 

Going to tag a few folks who have purchased Hung Vanngo eyehadow palettes (though not necessarily the Wonderful Warm version) - they may not be able to speak to the color palette you asking about but they can give you their take on the palette they purchased and their thoughts on the quality and performance of the shadows.

If I missed someone who purchased a Hung Vanngo eyeshadow palette, it was inadvertent and I apologize. 

ManiBanani82, if you have specific questions regarding the eyehadows, let us know and if we can be of help, we will certainly try.

@itsfi , thanks for the tag

@ManiBanani82 , I have the Rebellious Red and Pink palette.  I like it a lot.  Its colors appear fairly accurate on skin tone, vs looking too muted or muddy or just straight up pink when expecting a red.  I think the formula is really nice, like very easy to blend.  I think it's a great sale pick!
