The Kevyn Aucoin Electropop Pro Eyeshadow Palette

December 1st, 2017 by Karen 11 Comments

I’m wearing the new Kevyn Aucoin Electropop Palette on my lids and thinking #deepmakeupthoughts

Should you listen to electronic music or pop music when you’re playing around with the new $57 Kevyn Aucoin Electropop Palette? #deepmakeupthoughts

Every time I wear it, I end up listening to Pachelbel’s Canon in D at least three times, haha! We have a baby lullaby station set on Pandora, and I’m not kidding, every other song is some version of Pachebel’s Canon in D. I swear that song is holding the baby lullaby station hostage!

So that eye look on the box is cray, but I wanna try it! Who’s with me?

Electropop is a $57 limited edition eye palette with 12 electric hues and chromatic colors, and it’s all about the brights, dramatic pigment and mega metallic pearl. You’ve got color, shine and all the fun, flashy things, but they’re handled tastefully and executed with perfection.

The font snob in me wholly approves of this typeface.

At first, it was the brights that reeled me in, but the creamy, comfy, weightless formula sealed the deal. It’s like, dude, am I even wearing eyeshadow at all?

The Electropop shadows feel as light as a feather, much like the MAC In Extra Dimension Eyeshadows, and just like the In Extra Dimensions, they kindly stay the crap outta my fine lines. So thanks for that, Team Kevyn!

Light, Beam, Ultraviolet, Charge, Switch, Laser, Heat, Fuse, Amp, Impulse, Hardwire, Blackout

Even though they’re classified as powders, they feel almost wet, like a BECCA Shimmer Skin Perfector Pressed, or a hybrid gel-to-powder eyeshadow like the ones in the Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Palettes.

The creamy formula glides across the skin and won’t give you any trouble when you’re blending.

The brand recommends ditching your brushes and either patting or swiping the Electropop shadows with your fingers to apply them, and I wholeheartedly agree. You get the most intense color payoff that way, and the least fallout (there’s very little, in case you were worried).

Electropop might look like a dream come true for people who only do brights, and you might want to dismiss it if you wouldn’t touch teal with a 10-foot pole, but get a little closer… Come on, don’t be shy.

Come closer!

A surprising number of shades in it work well as neutrals (taupe, gold, bronze and violet), so even though Electropop looks like a once-in-a-while party palette, the neutrals mean that you can also work it with the everyday browns you always wear.

Oh wait, that’s me. 🙂

I’m also wearing Kevyn Aucoin Capri Bronzer and Ibiza Highlighter on my cheeks, and Nudestix Go Girl on my lips.

I’m a big fan, and I hope, hope, hope KA releases more palettes with this formula. You can find it at Sephora, Kevyn Aucoin counters and online.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    With the exception of the bottom row the shades are actually great for everyday.

    Wondering how Hardwire compares to TF Tempete Bleue? This is a pretty palette and I’m wondering if Dear Daughter would like this one better than the UD one I just bought for her Christmas present.

      Happy Saturday Tatiana!

      TF Blue has tiny little glitter flecks; Hardwire is more of a straight-up metallic. Did you end up getting her the UD Distortion palette? I have to say I think this Kevyn Aucoin one is nicer. Both are fun though!

    I’m one of those people who wouldn’t touch teal with a ten-foot pole. I love the finish of these (I’m a shine junkie) but only the more natural looking colors. I’m happy to see someone making a pallet that isn’t full of mattes.

      Hi Kellly,

      Ahh, really? I’m Team Teal all the way. But that’s only a relatively recent development, like within the last 10 years. Before I stuck to brown and pink mostly.

      How are you doing? Did you have a good weekend?

    Oh that does look surprisingly versatile. I really like the idea of this for adding a bit of shine and color. Easy to pair with an all matte palette in your travel bag!

      Hi Erin,

      Yes! You could totally work the neutrals into a matte situation.

    That’s a beautiful palette! I can see where it would be very versatile; it has a nice mix of color and neutrals.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
