The Kevyn Aucoin Neo Trio Palette

December 5th, 2017 by Karen 9 Comments

Fresh, effortless cheek color and dimension from the Kevyn Aucoin Neo Trio Palette

There’s something about magnets, man. I like stuff that sticks together, like the Fenty Beauty sticks and these Kevyn Aucoin powders in the $58 limited edition Neo Trio Palette on counters meow.

You can stick them together and take them apart like puzzle pieces, which is totally my thing (El Hub is not into puzzles at all, which is crazy to me)!

Each of the three pans in the Neo Trio Palette contain 0.25 ounces of product; one full-size pan from KA’s permanent line is 0.75 ounces, so you get a good amount of product.

Capri, Ibiza and Setting Powder

The Trio comes with a trio of popular travel-sized face powder products from Kevyn Aucoin’s permanent line. There’s also a magnet inside each of the packages, so you can click them together and pull them apart, which is more amusing than you think it would be. 🙂

Each powder has some degree of ombre action happening. There’s a highlighter that goes from pale pink champagne to light violet; a translucent face setting powder that goes from a matte to a sheen finish; and a highlighter, blush and bronzer trio in a cool pinkish brown.

I’ve tried the Neo face setting powder before, and I’m not crazy about it (it does better on pale skin tones, but it’s a tad too chalky and shiny for my skin), so I’m going to pass it onto a friend, but Ibiza, the pink-to-purple highlighter, and Capri, the cool pink highlighter/bronzer/ blush combo, are where the magic happens in this set.

Both should play very nicely with most skin tones (yup, warm and cool!) and, seriously, you guys, when I wear them together, I don’t look nearly as 40-something as I normally do on any given day.

You can also wear them separately, of course…but when I wear Capri on my cheeks and Ibiza on my cheekbones, my skin looks fresh, it looks bright, and it looks polished, but not, like, overly done. If you like to look like you’re wearing makeup on your cheeks but don’t wanna be all, “Hey, man! Look at all this stuff I piled on,” it’s the perfect combo for that type of look.

If you’re a NARS fan, I think you might really dig this set. The powders look and perform a lot like NARS bronzers, blushes and highlighters.

They do look a little powdery in swatches at first…but once they settle on the skin, they create a naturally bronzed cheek flush.

The face powder’s a bust for me, but I think this set is still worth it for Ibiza and Capri alone, since the full-size versions of each are $58 a pop. Check it out next time you’re at Sephora.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Happy Tuesday! 🙂

    I never really got into puzzles until my daughter started doing them. Now we finish them together and it is great fun.

    I’ve been lookimg at this Neo Trio for a month in several web-stores. I was so amazed about the purle highlighter that I became so obsessed with this?, that the set was in front of my eyes even when I slept! Almost purchased it. But before pressing “confirm purchase” button, I checked some swatches and reviews. And I realized, that I don’t need it. The powder did not amaze me at all?, the bronzer – well, it’s good to have if you don’t have much of them. But didn’t convince that it’s anything extraordinary.The only thing I am still amazed about is the ombre purple highlighter.

    This is such a coincidence!!! I just ordered this and received it in the mail today! Too bad the powder is a bust for you! Will try tomorrow morning if it works on my pale winter skin! ?

      Hi Jenna,

      Ibiza is really lovely. I think the full-size one is $58, but you do get a good amount of product! Let me know if you have any questions about it. Happy to help.

    You never look 40-something. 🙂 I love the ombre and think I’d be as entertained as you are by the magnetic snapping. HAHA!

      Aww, aren’t you sweet. 🙂 I think it must be the lighting. Good lighting always helps! When it’s overhead florescent lighting it’s a different story… I look like I just emerged from my crypt after being there for like 5,000 years, haha.

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).
