I got one Kiko palette a few years ago and could not use it because it made my eyes and lashes sting, even though it was all mattes. The same thing happens with many drugstore brands mattes and metallic shadows across the board which is why I’m not a fan (and besides from the scaly effect). These look beautiful.
Oh no, better to stay away then. Anyway I got the same reaction with Pat McGrath (Mothership 3) and Natasha Denona (Lila). I’m allergic to red and purple pigments. I have tried the second Kiko quint (not the one with the green) and I had no problems
The new duo pat McGrath is a olive tone. I own all of the pat McGrath . It's not the same as the mint as in the pat large palette. I bought all the new duos and actually had the comparisons . Unless you actually have in hand . I love kiko but harder to get in the US.
I love PML's quints, but didn't like this year's holiday release, so I bought the Kiko Dazzling Drama palette. I was so intrigued because they visually looked identical in finish! The ingredients are the same, just in a different order (compared to the one PML quint packaging I still have). I'm very happy with the shimmers, although I wasn't expecting the lightest shade to have that much pink in it either. The mattes I was disappointed with only because they got darker on my eyes once I started blending it. It's like there's a darker base color to both of them and the more vibrant purple turns into the same color as the dark one and the darker one is like a smokey dark grey-purple. I don't mind having a smokey eye look, but I wanted the vibrant one to stay true to color. I tried different primers and brushes but it still kept turning darker. I don't think it's just a complexion thing (I have dark skin), but it's true that sometimes colors can look different on different skin tones. It might also just be an issue with the purples and the other Kiko x Sara mattes could be true to color. Thank you for comparing the green to the shade from the Sith Seduction quint because I literally only wanted to green from that palette and didn't want to buy it just for that. Now that I know it's pretty much the same as what I have in the Kiko palette, I'm very happy!
I don't like the Kiko packaging as much as the PMG, but I was eyeing PMG neutral toned quint. I do live in the Netherlands and Kiko makeup is readily available - so I will be purchasing that one instead. (Will it quench my pmg craving? I'm not sure 😂)
Yeah, they’re defined worth a swatch. But make sure you see the colors outside the shop too! Those bright lights inside the shop make colors look prettier the real life ☺️
I believe the gold and the duochrome from the gold kiko quint have their exact matches in the third SW quint, the C3PO one. I will go to store and see if I can swatch them live but I’m so intrigued now have I missed it and kiko has had this eyeshadow formula for years and I never noticed 🤔!?
I'm pretty sure this formula is newer... But Kiko Milano has quite a variety of formulas that match luxury so you never know 😅they definitely have been duping Tom Ford, Byredo and Bobbi Brown formulas for years.
Fun fact…the moment I swatched Kiko - Bridgerton collection eyeshadow palette…it actually felt like Pat McGrath Formula…thanks for sharing this video🌸
Thanks for watching! 😘
I wish Kiko would dupe the PMG Divine Droid quint - I sooooo want that one!
Yeah, it’s quite unique

🤣 At least the Kiko one can allow you to wait for Pat’s next sales 😇
The kiko palettes are not on their US site.
Not yet, but they’re going to be released soon! They’re already available in Europe
Apparently not the part of Europe I'm at! @@bobmindset
They’ve just been released here in Italy (in UK too), I hope they’re coming soon elsewhere
@@bobmindset I'm not dying to get them, but id be interested to swatch them and remember to follow kikos future with great interest!

I don’t buy Kiko regularly, so I don’t know when they introduced this formula, but I suspect they did not introduce it long time ago.

lol you’re shaking the table….. chiii
