MORGAN!!!! You deserve some kind of TH-cam award for the most comprehensive comparison video for 2024. This is so impressive! Thank you for all your hard work on this!
i urge people to check out the Rabanne Eyephoria eyeshadow duos. $25 dollars, made in Italy with a built in mirror AND their “Iconique” shade is a color dupe for the Patrick Ta, “We need better lighting” I would love love love to see someone compare the two (plus it’s sold at ulta both online and in store)
For those loving the cool toned sprakling shade from the duo Still at the Club, there is a great dupe in the Petits Fours “Hesperides” from Viseart ( a smidget less sparkly). They are often on sale and you get FOUR shades for about $25.
Lots of them should just shut up about folks complaints of the price, like you're rich and live in LA doing God knows what on those PR parties, if you can't have any empathy or see where folks coming from, just shut up, you won't loose the PR stuff anyway
@@Ryanneey Charlotte tilbury, Patrick ta ....are brands they come from nowhere and are trying to steal customers money. They know their brands probably will not last so they are trying to get has much as they can. While Dior, chanel etc ..has history and passed the time trial. This are making their prices increase too after they seeing people buy Tom Ford prices, Hermes etc ...
Indie brands are cheaper and more amazing than any of the "luxury" brands. Clionadh, Terra Moons, Adept Cosmetics, Ensley Reign.... duochromes, pearl, multichromes, holochromes, metallics in any depth of shimmer or shade you want...I like luxury makeup skincare, but eyeshadows they are ten years behind indie.
Let’s add Glaminatrix Cosmetics to this list for anyone looking. Their neutrals in the glimmering creations/creatures range are some of my all time favourites and blow these out of the water in comparison. Plus I picked them up in their current 30% off sale so are about $8 AUD each. I don’t need to pay that markup for a mirror, brand name and lack lustre formula. It would have only been exciting if PML releases baked singles, otherwise indie all the way.
Yes, I love Glaminatrix sooo much. Their quality is top shelf and has become the glimmer, glitter, duochrome that I compare all others to. To this day it has not been matched. What I think is great too, is the ability to purchase one at a time. I’m one of those people who thinks of something than HAS to have it immediately. So instead of having to wait and save for a palette, I can just find a shade I want and purchase same day. (They do have palettes too). Morgan, I would love to see a video with glaminatrix shadows!!
I hate where this is going as an eyeshadow lover who wants big palettes that are not astronomical. Natasha is the only one doing it right with her midi palettes
Morgan, you look amazing in this video! Your skin looks flawless! Your shades go together… I think this is the best you’ve ever looked! You always look good, but this day was top notch!!
I truly don’t get why people went so wild over the price of these. I’ve never seen this kind of outrage over chantecaille singles or the Charlotte Tilbury singles. Over a decade ago I paid $35 for the NARS Rated R duo. I know the beauty space was different back then but no one threw a fit over those. The price of these didn’t phase me. No one is forcing anyone to buy them. I truly don’t get why these sparked so much outrage. I picked up one, We Need Better Lighting. I absolutely love it. I love a baked eyeshadow that twinkles on my lids. Especially now that I’m in my mid 40s, baked eyeshadows that I can just tap on and go are really appealing to me. They’re flattering and effortless. The older I get, the less I am interested in really bold looks. I loved the packaging, I loved the combo I chose, and I will say again that I love a baked eyeshadow. Pat seems to have stopped making them, Bobbi Brown singles are even pricier than this duo. I haven’t purchased new eyeshadow in a year but this release felt tailor made for me. Maybe that’s the issue. I think older women appreciate a baked eyeshadow formula but Patrick didn’t emphasize that it was a baked, Italian formula because he was marketing to a younger crowd. Maybe that created a disconnect. Not too much of one because they sure sold out fast!
I agree. I think they are claiming it's because his brand isn't considered Luxury. Everything I have from him performs as it is, so maybe that affects my mood on this lol. Honestly, I think they just jump on a bang wagon of hate lol. It's been trending to do that for several years now.
I think he's attracted a younger crowd through TikTok who aren't used to these prices for a duo. I remember several years ago being shocked that UD was selling single Moondust shadows for over $20.
I would never buy Patrick Ta eyeshadows ever again after I bought all 3 of the major dimensions palettes and firstly was not super impressed but then when I opened them after 3 months the shimmers (even unused or swatched) had green fur on them! I tried contacting them numerous times to hear absolutely nothing back. Poor customer service.
I’m surprised more people don’t mention the mold on his eyeshadow palettes! I feel like this info just gets brushed off, and they still sell really well as if no one has had any issues. I found the mold in my palette too, never buying from them again.
Good for you Morgan for not staying that they are worth the price especially in this time where people are having a hard buying basic goods. They might be beautiful, but if consumers do not question pricing brands will continue to ask for higher prices. You have to vote with your wallet.
Hi Morgan, I'm from Italy and here we have some italian makeup brands that propose sometimes the same magical formulation at half price😅. So sometimes the price is obviously linked to the brand!
@durcheinander5554 really I have not tried these ones from Patrick Ta, but if you love this sparkling finish the brands I mentioned are really fantastic. For example the soft texture of the shades VVS or Diamond Dew from Huda Icy nuded is comparable with the one you can find in Mesauda's palette. Hope this can help.
I like the brown one. It screams class and luxury. I can see myself having it on the eyes for an important meeting! Great video and great Jose effects 😅
The fact that Patrick Ta had to make a video to defend the price just proves that his brand is not a luxury brand. Like someone else said, Patrick Ta is no Tom Ford.
I personally think those are way overpriced as well. I’d never buy a single shadow that was over $18 (and those $18 ones are multi chromes). Patrick Ta is just more talked about, but you’ll see outrage over high prices of the ones you’ve mentioned. It might just not be a product as hyped as PT is right now.
She didn’t compare there because they’re not the same. I have like 50 indie shadows from Terra moons, clionadh, shine by sd and jd glow. They’re beautiful in their own right but they aren’t a baked formula like Bobbi brown or PMG. It’s okay for them to be 2 different things and both pretty!
Thank you for doing this. I agree the price is probably worth it, but I have too much make up too justify treating myself to theses. I recently bought Icy Nude, ROXA, and Ethereal eyes Moonlight. I am happy with those..I can’t get everything.
Wow, the Tom Ford really swiped beautifully …. And the colors are beautiful too of the first one ..Morgan, I am loving your lip colors today really really pretty! Gives off the FALL vibe without being in your face😍 …
Honestly? There is no way in hell i will pay for these. And the sentence on the packaging means that he could just use cheapest ingredients from China, and cheated the system by pressing them in Italy. And sorry, but only one of the shades looks special. The other one is just a metallic. Its the same like with ND palettes: she gives us those sparkling wet or crystal formulas, but also regular metallics. For a duo i would really expect both shades to be special
Yes! For that price both shades should have been sparkly, I agree. I don’t understand why he decided to launch duos for 37 pounds instead of one sparkle shade for like 26-28 pounds.
I love the bouncy cream eyeshadows from ulta’s in house brand. Only $9, very sparkly and they transform any shadow into something more “special” when layered on top. For a higher price point, but still reasonable, the Rabanne quads and duos are great quality!
Anyone who says Patrick Ta isn’t worth it is tripping. It’s $21 per eyeshadow and the quality is obviously there. I’m waiting on mine to come, I got the shade “talk to my team” and I’m excited!
I wish I could have seen these compared to ColourPop’s super shock shadows. $42 is a lot but I don’t even care about that. Lol. Buy what you want. (I have Pat McGrath, Tom Ford, Dior, etc 😂) I’m just curious as to how it compares to the super shock shadows. I think they’re pretty sparkly and way more affordable. 😊
Have you tried the Italian brand Kiko Milano? They do a lot of baked formulas. Their price ranges vary - from budget to more expensive lines. The more expensive lines appear quite luxurious
Yes, I have several eyeshadows and blushes from Kiko and I really like them, especially their stick shadows. And since I store my makeup away from the light, I've had them for years and they're still smelling and performing the same!!! I only had to toss one of their dual eyeliner pencils bc it dried our but the second one, burgundy and champagne stayed the same! Their prices though have gone up recently. But it' s true that when they first came here in France it changed the affordable makeup market bc you had beautiful packaging, luxury looking, but fortunately with unmatching price. I even found out 2 unopened mascaras, brown and burgundy that I bought years ago and they didn't dry out at all, still wet, they're both beautiful, and elegant, I was stunned. I suppose I bought them bc of sales, never opened them bc I forgot about them and now that these colours are trending, they're on point 😁 Their lipsticks and glosses are beautiful too. I can't judge their new makeup 💄 though bc I haven't bought any recently. And they have a tendancy to repackage the same colours and formulas. For special shades, I love my Lethal Cosmetics single shadows though, an indie German brand. They're multichromes, duochromes are beautiful. I've recently mixed my Lisa Eldridge Sorcery palette with one of their special shades and it looked beautiful. It's true that they can be expensive for the most special ones: 17€. But I bought mines last Black Friday with a big discount and it was worth it.
They are so pretty on you. I always admire your eyeshadow. I won’t be buying them only because my regular life routine won’t fit them in. Not even if I go out will I need those eyeshadows. But I enjoy seeing ya’ll try them out!
To be so honest it's not the price or the ingredients that I don't like it's the fact they are not sparkly. At all. You can get better sparkle from the color pop shock shadow.
I have two of these duos and they are sparkly. It's more of a dimensional look like the fenty beauty diamond bomb. It's a hard finish to describe but they are very pretty!
I’m so glad I watched this. I only liked the top shades so it makes me even more sure I won’t buy them. I’ll stick to my Pat McGrath for super sparkly and the moondust shadows for a more subtle sparkle
Thank you for this Morgan! I feel like I can wait for these Patrick Ta duos because I have a lot of what you swatched. I’d like to see them compared to Half Magic glitter pucks or other shadows, or even last year’s glitter toppers from Patrick Ta’s hot pink blush palette.
Italy does make beautiful eyeshadows… it’s worth the occasional splurge (expiration dates phewy) 🤭. Just like most of my skincare is made in Korea and I just think that they make the best skin care … That royal blue shade in Pat McGrath’s subliminal pallet will run from wrist to elbow … it is such a beautiful formula worth every penny in my opinion..
As always Morgan, your thorough reviews are outstanding. Really helps with knowing where to spend and not! I am very attracted to the shadows by Patrick Ta, but seeing them up against the other shadows for comparison is raising an eyebrow for me. I am also loving the new Huda pallet. I took it on vacay and used it exclusively. So really happy with the performance there. I am also very interested in the new Danessa pallet, but then I'm not afraid of color. I still can't make a decision on PT duos. Thank you for all your hard work and effort that you put into these videos.🎉
Nobody can beat PML special formula. It’s amazing and works on all skin tones ❤❤❤ Thanks for the swatches and comparison! I thought about getting the club one but maybe now I need to see which of my PML shadows match up 😅😅😅😅
I wouldn’t pay full price but I used my Rouge discount for 20% off at Sephora and am really enjoying it. I bough the shade Still At The Club as I love a cool smoky taupe and it’s actually quite versatile.
Yay. The video I've been waiting for. I also use his eyebrow pencil in medium briown and his blush in She's So LA. I just ordered the bronzer in She's Bronzed and the Sculpting brush. And 2 more eyebrow pencils to stock up. Love your videos ❤
I purchased two the “ talk to my team” “ at the club” and they are truly brilliant. I like what you did because you compare them to other brands that use the Italian formula.
Thank you for this very rational review, and breakdown. It's so helpful! I think you bring up such a good point about a products and what it's worth to an individual. I know you didn't love the foundations, so of course that must sound like a crazy price. Now for me, as afraid as I was to try it lol, it's glorious. That said, I am decades older than you and have dry/mature skin. I loved it so much I ordered another shade in the sale, and I have a ton of foundations lol. You are a gem!
Thanks for your review, I have the DM Freedom palette and therefore do not believe I need the PT new eyeshadow duos. I think I can achieve a similar colour eye look with her palette. What is your opinion? Are the two comparable? If you could only have one, do you choose DM or PT?
Its a baked Gelle. Just like bobbi brown luxe eyeshadows nars sometimes has baked gelle. The dior quad plan de paris had baked gelle. They dont have tin containers. They are glued underneath onto the eyeshadow itself. To the packaging
Great video, I always appreciate the comparisons even if I'm not looking to buy the products your talking about. I see the price point of this one but I have my beautiful indie shadows (and from what i can tell, the indies are better or on par but cheaper, in some cases). The editing is also great 😂
I look at it as $21 a shadow, and I have paid $25⬆️ for single shadows. Also, compare Patrick Ta to some of Adepts' shimmers. You will see beautiful similarities ❤ Depends on want you want to pay or like.
To be completely honest, I think the Too Faced shadow was the nicest out of all the shadows you swatched here..🤷♀️ Im definitely not interested in getting any of the Patrick Ta duos because I can pay $20 more for an Indie palette that has several special shimmers/multichromes/irridescents/mattes/etc that blow Patrick Ta’s shades out of the water! In MY opinion, that is… I am, however, a little intrigued by the Too Faced glimmer shadow(or whatever it’s called) and I think I’ll try swatching them if I can find testers at Ulta or Sephora. I doubt I’ll get any, but I’m curious, so you never know ..😂
Italian makeup, imo is THE best and contrary to a lot of other people's opinions. I am going to purchase the first and last one you demonstrated. The price of one in the UK is £37 a bit hefty, but it's quality, and you only get what you pay for, and I really liked them. Thank you, lovely 🥰 🌟
Super-helpful & interesting video, thanks Morgan! Entertaining comment section today too, it's all over the map. Glad to see the PML Motherships - I was struck when I saw the Mario Moonlight palette by the colourstory resemblance, but I haven't seen anyone mention that yet (tho I haven't watched every review, ofc!) I like how the PT At the Club shades look almost cool purply-brown. I'm curious about whether a brand might still release a surprise gem toward the end of the Sephora sale like with the first Mario Ethereal palette. I've already placed my (several 😂) sale orders, but will maybe do one more with this duo if nothing else drops at the end! 😂😅xo! 😘
Hey Morgan, great review as always! I just wanted to say that ever since you started doing swatches in front of the window, the finishes of the products have been very hard to tell, because it is making very glittery shades appear the same as standard metallics etc
Morgan!! You totally missed it! On the rose pallete PG you could put that brown as a base and the white shimmer on top and compared it to Patrick ta! Ahh I’m at work I’m going to run and do this when I get home.
MORGAN!!!! You deserve some kind of TH-cam award for the most comprehensive comparison video for 2024. This is so impressive! Thank you for all your hard work on this!
i urge people to check out the Rabanne Eyephoria eyeshadow duos. $25 dollars, made in Italy with a built in mirror AND their “Iconique” shade is a color dupe for the Patrick Ta, “We need better lighting” I would love love love to see someone compare the two (plus it’s sold at ulta both online and in store)
Yess. They also have tons of shades. So much more worth it.
I just went on the app to look at them. They are gorgeous.
Kiko Milani Glitter Shower is good too.
Good point! Great rec.
Yes they are so good!!
For those loving the cool toned sprakling shade from the duo Still at the Club, there is a great dupe in the Petits Fours “Hesperides” from Viseart ( a smidget less sparkly). They are often on sale and you get FOUR shades for about $25.
Your amazing.
Thank you! I bought it. Still at the Club but I love eyeshadow, so I'm going to get the Viseart too! 😅
I was mostly just annoyed that a handful of wealthy influencers who got these for free were shaming people for having an issue with the price.
I was just thinking that.
Exactly
Lots of them should just shut up about folks complaints of the price, like you're rich and live in LA doing God knows what on those PR parties, if you can't have any empathy or see where folks coming from, just shut up, you won't loose the PR stuff anyway
@@Ryanneey Charlotte tilbury, Patrick ta ....are brands they come from nowhere and are trying to steal customers money.

This. This exactly
Thank you for saving me money! I'm sticking to my mothership and my indie brands. ❤
Morgan I love your reviews but also Jose’s editing is hilarious!!! 😂
Right? Has me dying every time
The GoT Shame scene was awesome 🔔
Indie brands are cheaper and more amazing than any of the "luxury" brands. Clionadh, Terra Moons, Adept Cosmetics, Ensley Reign.... duochromes, pearl, multichromes, holochromes, metallics in any depth of shimmer or shade you want...I like luxury makeup skincare, but eyeshadows they are ten years behind indie.
Yassss exactly what I was thinking!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 These PT duos aren’t special. It’s kind of laughable when comparing to any indie shadows!
I love Morgan but not for eyeshadow. I'll stick to indie shadows all day. It's gonna be a no for me dawg😂
Let’s add Glaminatrix Cosmetics to this list for anyone looking. Their neutrals in the glimmering creations/creatures range are some of my all time favourites and blow these out of the water in comparison. Plus I picked them up in their current 30% off sale so are about $8 AUD each. I don’t need to pay that markup for a mirror, brand name and lack lustre formula. It would have only been exciting if PML releases baked singles, otherwise indie all the way.
Yes, I love Glaminatrix sooo much. Their quality is top shelf and has become the glimmer, glitter, duochrome that I compare all others to. To this day it has not been matched.

So instead of having to wait and save for a palette, I can just find a shade I want and purchase same day. (They do have palettes too). Morgan, I would love to see a video with glaminatrix shadows!!
I get overwhelmed with options at indie brands, but I’d love to try some. Do you have a favorite formula that has wearable everyday neutral shades?
I hate where this is going as an eyeshadow lover who wants big palettes that are not astronomical. Natasha is the only one doing it right with her midi palettes
True!!
Exactly, i always love her palette❤
Right off the bat, I'm going to say that these BETTER be the most magical and amazing eyeshadows ever for that price 😭😂
I think the Two Faced looked the best.
Morgan, you look amazing in this video! Your skin looks flawless! Your shades go together… I think this is the best you’ve ever looked! You always look good, but this day was top notch!!
Clionadh cosmetics is fantastic. Equally sparkling eyeshadows for less. 😌
Equally? Majority of them surpass these PT shadows 😂
@KagomeYasha023 true!
I truly don’t get why people went so wild over the price of these. I’ve never seen this kind of outrage over chantecaille singles or the Charlotte Tilbury singles.

Exactly ! Chantecaille single shadows are $52 😂
Because people are entitled
Same here! Sign me in 🙌💯
I think he's attracted a younger crowd through TikTok who aren't used to these prices for a duo. I remember several years ago being shocked that UD was selling single Moondust shadows for over $20.

I tried contacting them numerous times to hear absolutely nothing back. Poor customer service.
My pallete also turned moldy . No reply either way
I dropped smash box 7 years ago because I bought the oil primer and it smelled rancid. I reached out and was ghosted. So yeah, never again.
I’m surprised more people don’t mention the mold on his eyeshadow palettes! I feel like this info just gets brushed off, and they still sell really well as if no one has had any issues. I found the mold in my palette too, never buying from them again.
Yes mine has mold on it too! It’s messed up
The special shade from still at the club looks just like the KVD dazzle stick in flash storm

Is there any brand of eyeshadow you recommend? Thanks!
@mewv3 Hi, you can try Mesauda, Wycon, Mulac and Nabla for sure. All Italian brands.
@Crirabbit2784 oh, I've never heard of those brands before- thank you!
Do you know any specific products that have a similar formula?
@durcheinander5554 really I have not tried these ones from Patrick Ta, but if you love this sparkling finish the brands I mentioned are really fantastic. For example the soft texture of the shades VVS or Diamond Dew from Huda Icy nuded is comparable with the one you can find in Mesauda's palette. Hope this can help.
I like the brown one. It screams class and luxury. I can see myself having it on the eyes for an important meeting!
Great video and great Jose effects 😅
Honestly this video made me more interested in the Too Face shadows lol 😅
I’m so glad you did this! These look so different than the promo searches (of course).
The fact that Patrick Ta had to make a video to defend the price just proves that his brand is not a luxury brand.
Like someone else said, Patrick Ta is no Tom Ford.
Chantecaille and Bobbi Brown duos are more expensive and nobody complains 🤷
I personally think those are way overpriced as well. I’d never buy a single shadow that was over $18 (and those $18 ones are multi chromes). Patrick Ta is just more talked about, but you’ll see outrage over high prices of the ones you’ve mentioned. It might just not be a product as hyped as PT is right now.
its hard to put into words, but the book The Skin Radiance Recipe by Mrs. D transformed my
Oh, those are quite pretty - prettier than I thought they would be - thanks for the detailed review 😊
I can’t wait to see videos comparing these duos with indie glitter shadows 🤪🤩
😂🤣
She didn’t compare there because they’re not the same. I have like 50 indie shadows from Terra moons, clionadh, shine by sd and jd glow. They’re beautiful in their own right but they aren’t a baked formula like Bobbi brown or PMG. It’s okay for them to be 2 different things and both pretty!
Thank you for doing this. I agree the price is probably worth it, but I have too much make up too justify treating myself to theses. I recently bought Icy Nude, ROXA, and Ethereal eyes Moonlight. I am happy with those..I can’t get everything.
I think out of all of them the too faced one looked the most pretty.
Out of all of them I prefer the urban decay & to o faced ones . They stand out a whole lot next to the others
I got mine today and Still at the Club is gorgeous. Totally unique. I am happy with my purchase.
Gavissi has the most beautiful eyeshadows and they have amazing pigments!!
I love Italian eyeshadows. They are superior to any others.
Bought this Patrick ta eyeshadow duo.... And I LOVE IT!
Thank you for all the in depth comparisons! ❤
I love the first shadows. I have similar colors in Laura Mercier sticks
Thank you Morgan. I am immediately drawn to the "I'm with her" shades.
I agree with you. I bought one and went back for three more. These are really beautiful and high quality. They are the best in class in my opinion.
Thanks for the thorough comparisons!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, the Tom Ford really swiped beautifully …. And the colors are beautiful too of the first one ..Morgan, I am loving your lip colors today really really pretty! Gives off the FALL vibe without being in your face😍 …

And the sentence on the packaging means that he could just use cheapest ingredients from China, and cheated the system by pressing them in Italy. And sorry, but only one of the shades looks special.

Yes north should’ve been special. That brown shade is ridiculous
Very thorough review❤❤ Thanks!!
Morgan, I want to try Tom Ford for the first time. What palette do you recommend for them that is the best in your opinion?
I think she did rankings of Tom Ford some time ago

Yes. They are beautiful

You should try Moira beauty stars how shadow pots. So beautiful
This was such a wholesome review ❤😊 Thank you 😊
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR VIDEO ON THESE DUOSSSSS AHHHHH!!
To be so honest it's not the price or the ingredients that I don't like it's the fact they are not sparkly. At all. You can get better sparkle from the color pop shock shadow.
I have two of these duos and they are sparkly. It's more of a dimensional look like the fenty beauty diamond bomb. It's a hard finish to describe but they are very pretty!
I’m so glad I watched this. I only liked the top shades so it makes me even more sure I won’t buy them. I’ll stick to my Pat McGrath for super sparkly and the moondust shadows for a more subtle sparkle
I love them and will buy more. Worth the price.
Thank you for this Morgan! I feel like I can wait for these Patrick Ta duos because I have a lot of what you swatched. I’d like to see them compared to Half Magic glitter pucks or other shadows, or even last year’s glitter toppers from Patrick Ta’s hot pink blush palette.
Lauren Mae Beauty just compared with the Half Magic eyeshadow single wet pebble - it’s richly pigmented and beautiful for $13
this video literally came in the perfect moment in my life, love you
I love the editing at the end 😂
The Patrick eyeshadows remind me of the dose of colors block party eyeshadows!!
Italy does make beautiful eyeshadows… it’s worth the occasional splurge (expiration dates phewy) 🤭.
Just like most of my skincare is made in Korea and I just think that they make the best skin care …
That royal blue shade in Pat McGrath’s subliminal pallet will run from wrist to elbow … it is such a beautiful formula worth every penny in my opinion..
As always Morgan, your thorough reviews are outstanding. Really helps with knowing where to spend and not! I am very attracted to the shadows by Patrick Ta, but seeing them up against the other shadows for comparison is raising an eyebrow for me. I am also loving the new Huda pallet. I took it on vacay and used it exclusively. So really happy with the performance there. I am also very interested in the new Danessa pallet, but then I'm not afraid of color. I still can't make a decision on PT duos. Thank you for all your hard work and effort that you put into these videos.🎉
Truth of the matter, the fewer the shadows, the higher the cost. Your best bet is always to get a full sized palette for best value.
They're pretty, but I think I'm happier with my CT hypnotizing pop shots.
I'm very excited for mine to come in the mail today. I wish these were in a big palette tho
how do they compare to the coastal lights by flower!
You deserve to have so many more subbies tbh…❤
Nobody can beat PML special formula. It’s amazing and works on all skin tones ❤❤❤ Thanks for the swatches and comparison! I thought about getting the club one but maybe now I need to see which of my PML shadows match up 😅😅😅😅
Thank you, but they do try.
Indies do all the time but if you’re talking in the high end/luxury sphere only, then you’d probably be right.
I dunno I decluttered all my motherships, I feel like the formula is outdated.
@ 😳 😮
I wouldn’t pay full price but I used my Rouge discount for 20% off at Sephora and am really enjoying it. I bough the shade Still At The Club as I love a cool smoky taupe and it’s actually quite versatile.
Morgan, I am loving your lip colors today really really pretty! Gives off the FALL vibe without being in your face😍
I was so waiting for your review! Thank you
A BIG THANKS for doing this video!!!!
Yay. The video I've been waiting for. I also use his eyebrow pencil in medium briown and his blush in She's So LA. I just ordered the bronzer in She's Bronzed and the Sculpting brush. And 2 more eyebrow pencils to stock up. Love your videos ❤
I was already unsure about these but you helped me confirm my no buy on these!
Excellent video! I loved your swatch comparisons with other palettes and the descriptions to help w/ our purchasing decisions. 🙂
I purchased two the “ talk to my team” “ at the club” and they are truly brilliant. I like what you did because you compare them to other brands that use the Italian formula.
I was waiting for this video ❤
GREAT to see your review of these! 😘Thanks as always!
Thank you for this very rational review, and breakdown. It's so helpful! I think you bring up such a good point about a products and what it's worth to an individual. I know you didn't love the foundations, so of course that must sound like a crazy price. Now for me, as afraid as I was to try it lol, it's glorious. That said, I am decades older than you and have dry/mature skin. I loved it so much I ordered another shade in the sale, and I have a ton of foundations lol. You are a gem!
I like the purply brown one, but as i have Viseart Violette.....
I feel like the last 1 u tried would be beautiful for Christmas
Thanks for your review, I have the DM Freedom palette and therefore do not believe I need the PT new eyeshadow duos. I think I can achieve a similar colour eye look with her palette. What is your opinion? Are the two comparable? If you could only have one, do you choose DM or PT?
Oh and i do love his mascara ❤
Still at the club looks so pretty. I don’t think I have anything else like that!
Its a baked Gelle. Just like bobbi brown luxe eyeshadows nars sometimes has baked gelle. The dior quad plan de paris had baked gelle. They dont have tin containers. They are glued underneath onto the eyeshadow itself. To the packaging
The dark brown PT duo is SO SIMILAR to the dark brown shimmer in the MBM moonlight palette 🎉
Great video, I always appreciate the comparisons even if I'm not looking to buy the products your talking about. I see the price point of this one but I have my beautiful indie shadows (and from what i can tell, the indies are better or on par but cheaper, in some cases). The editing is also great 😂
Thank you for this video!!
Thanks for the info. I ordered two of the shadow duos, a blush duo I had been wanting, got 15% off and a free lipstick!
Love these comparisons!! Very helpful!
I look at it as $21 a shadow, and I have paid $25⬆️ for single shadows. Also, compare Patrick Ta to some of Adepts' shimmers. You will see beautiful similarities ❤ Depends on want you want to pay or like.
Flower beauty also has that glimmer lights palette that looks kinda the same & u can get it on sale for like $6.
To be completely honest, I think the Too Faced shadow was the nicest out of all the shadows you swatched here..🤷♀️ Im definitely not interested in getting any of the Patrick Ta duos because I can pay $20 more for an Indie palette that has several special shimmers/multichromes/irridescents/mattes/etc that blow Patrick Ta’s shades out of the water! In MY opinion, that is… I am, however, a little intrigued by the Too Faced glimmer shadow(or whatever it’s called) and I think I’ll try swatching them if I can find testers at Ulta or Sephora. I doubt I’ll get any, but I’m curious, so you never know ..😂
Yes agreed! They looked more sparkly than the Patrick ta ones
Italian makeup, imo is THE best and contrary to a lot of other people's opinions. I am going to purchase the first and last one you demonstrated. The price of one in the UK is £37 a bit hefty, but it's quality, and you only get what you pay for, and I really liked them. Thank you, lovely 🥰 🌟
My favorite glittery eyeshadows are the ones in the MBM Ethereal eyes and I find the urban decay moondust shadows are an almost perfect alternative
My favorite is Still at the Club too. 😊
I was waiting for your review ❤
Super-helpful & interesting video, thanks Morgan! Entertaining comment section today too, it's all over the map. Glad to see the PML Motherships - I was struck when I saw the Mario Moonlight palette by the colourstory resemblance, but I haven't seen anyone mention that yet (tho I haven't watched every review, ofc!) I like how the PT At the Club shades look almost cool purply-brown. I'm curious about whether a brand might still release a surprise gem toward the end of the Sephora sale like with the first Mario Ethereal palette. I've already placed my (several 😂) sale orders, but will maybe do one more with this duo if nothing else drops at the end! 😂😅xo! 😘
Hey Morgan, great review as always! I just wanted to say that ever since you started doing swatches in front of the window, the finishes of the products have been very hard to tell, because it is making very glittery shades appear the same as standard metallics etc
The too faced eyeshadows looked more sparkly and nicer than the Patrick Ta ones
Yasss been waiting for Morgan's review!!
Thanks for comparing to other expensive formulas! I'd like to pick a couple up in the future!
Morgan!! You totally missed it! On the rose pallete PG you could put that brown as a base and the white shimmer on top and compared it to Patrick ta! Ahh I’m at work I’m going to run and do this when I get home.
