Morphe palettes worth it?

[PreppyBeauty28]

Hi y'all!

I've had my eyes on the Morphe 35F (fall into frost) and 35T (taupe) palettes for a while. I LOVE those colors and feel like they'll be wonderful for fall with my blueish greenish grayish eyes. Based on YouTube videos I've watched, people either worship morphe as an affordable high-quality brand or totally despise the brand for being cheap and low-quality. 

I trust the awesome community at Sephora to tell me what's up with these palettes. Is the quality good despite the low/mid-range price tag?

Thanks!

If you end up buying from morphe remember to use the code save15now to save 15 instead of the 10 from youtubers codes

I really like the Morphe palettes. I have a few and have not experienced the patchyness or pigmentation problems others have experience. The pans are pretty big as are the palettes, and the packaging isn't luxe but for the price - discount codes is good. 

35O - perfect for those who love warm tones. I have the one that is a mix of shimmer and mattes. Thier shimmers/glitters are one of my favorite formulas, they pack well on the lid without getting clumpy. 

Bronzed Mocha - I have to say this is my most used Morphe palette. It's one of the square panned palettes with the clear top, it's smaller (25 shadows) but not much smaller than the 35 pan palettes. More browns, berries, and rose golds in this palette. Again a mix of shimmers and mattes.

Copper Spice - I believe this is the 'sister palette' to Bronzed Mocha as they are the same packaging. Tons of golds in this one!

12NB - 12 pan palette that Morphe came out with to be more travel friendly. I think this one and 12S were LE so I don't know that they are still available on the site. When I travel I normally bring these 2 with me and they cover my cool tones and warm tones and are small enough to fit in my traincase. 

When it comes to brushes Morphe has a bunch of my go to's for my routine. 

I love the Elite and Gunmetal lines but I'll name a few specific brushes below. 

E23 - my favorite brush to blend everything out with. It's a bigger fluffy brush that is great for blending out harsh creases. 

M510 - a good tapered highlighting brush for the face. 

G13 - great synthetic brush, this one comes in handy when I'm working with creamy shadows like the ColourPop Super Shock Shadows.

Omg!! Morphe's pallete is horrible. They smell like chemicals and the colour is very hit or miss in my opinion. Just save more money and go for another brand!!!

I bought 2 Morphe palettes & gave them away. For me they were terrible quality. Patchy and lacked pigment. Beware of YouTube, they can be sponsored.

I personally own a few Morphe products myself, and I love every one of them. I vouch for their brushes, as well as their eyeshadow palettes. 

Morphe 35T (Taupe) - I thought the colors were absolutely gorgeous online, but in person it was a touch too mauvy and dark for my everyday preference. The colors are stunning when swatched, but it's not ideal for my everyday usages. I felt it was more ideal for romantic looks. I do find myself using that palette for only a few colors though, but it isn't my go to. 

Morphe 35O (Orange?) - The colors were a touch too copper-y and golden for my preference also, but theres a good handful of colors I'd find myself using often. I don't mind a touch of color here and there, but I personally like a neutral smokey eyeshadow look. This, too, isn't my go to palette. 

Morphe 35K (Koffee?) - My favorite palette from Morphe. I find the colors perfect for everyday use in a work environment, date, brunch with the girls, clubbing in Vegas, or even a night out at town. I like to layer about 5 different colors for a complexity of transitions of colors, but I also find myself using the same colors everyday, too. I do try to pick up a different color each time I use it though. The combos are endless! 

I've also used the blush palette and bronzing palette too, for me they were a touch too bright. But they are quite blendable as are other Morphe palettes. 

For the price point on the 35 eyeshadow palettes, it's amazing! Average about $20-$23ish per palette, with or without discount promo codes (can be used online AND in store!), I think they're a steal. The products itself are creamy, and so easy to blend with! I have no troubles blending with just my fingers, but the Morphe M433 eyeshadow blending brush is my personal FAVORITE brush of all time from Morphe. I feel it blends so much more beautifully than anything I've owned from Nars, Make Up For Ever, Urban Decay, or even from the Sephora brands. Morphe brushes are considered as a dupe for high end brands, so why spend extra when they're a bit more affordable? 🙂 The packaging is terrible though, haha. Nothing special, no frills, but for the price point we are paying - it balances out. It also doesn't include a mirror, for anyone curious. I've been lucky enough to not crack or break any palettes after "tossing them" aside. So they are built and packed well in that case. The shadows do include Talc, which is why the products are so affordable. Higher end brands omit that ingredients, which is why theirs cost more. But honestly, I'd rather spend my money on eyeshadows from Morphe. I think they're a good investment. Some of their glittery eyeshadows I don't find blend as well as  my beloved Urban Decay shadows, but hey - for $5 per individual pot, I won't complain. I think they stay on pretty well, but there is fall out in the process of applying the shadows. 

If you're able to visit the Morphe store in Burbank, California in person, do it!! The workers are generally really nice and helpful to questions. The layout of the store is set up like Sephora, so that you can test every product they have; brushes, eyeshadows, and other palettes.

I live in Texas so I can't make it out to the store. Thanks for pointing out that the 35T is more mauve and deep. I have very fair skin, but I love the way mauve looks on my eyes, and I tend to go for those more "romantic looks". It might be just up my alley

thanks!

Although I've only tried out one palette from Morphe (35N), I think it's pretty good for the price point. The colors are true to color and blend easily. The packaging is super cheap, but that's to be expected for that price. Because the 35N is all matte, I can't speak to any of their other formulas, but I will say the matte formulas are nice. I think a lot of the love/hate for Morphe comes from the fact that they rely on sponsorship of youtubers to advertise their products - so they then get super hyped up from certain beauty gurus when meanwhile it's good for the price point, but it's not the best makeup on the market, y'know?

Glad to know the formula is true to color and blendable. Isn't it so frustrating when you swatch a color and it looks so different from the color in the pan?

thanks for the input!
