After trying both Pixi Collabs with Chloe Morello and Dulce Candy, I was interested in seeing the similarities and differences with Weylie’s Let’s Talk Eyes palette. The first difference I noticed is unlike the others this one isn’t marketed as an ‘all in one palette’ to be used as an eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, highlighter, blush topper etc. This is solely an eyeshadow palette which I found refreshing after using the other two “multi-purpose” palettes. Don’t get me wrong I love the idea of a palette that does it all, however, I wasn’t sold on the idea that Dulce’s lip palette could also be used as a blush. Personally, I have sensitive skin that breaks out easily so I prefer to use products that are intended for a specific use which means lipstick as a blush was too out of my comfort zone. When it comes to similarities, the pigmentation of all three collabs was minimal which you will either love for a supernatural look or greatly dislike.
The box that holds the palette gives quick instructions on how to apply the shadows on monolid or hooded eyes which I thought was a great idea since women with those eye shapes typically have difficulties with eyeshadow placement. I enjoy the warm tones in this palette which include a mix of shimmer and matte shades. In addition to the palette, Weylie created a dual ended liner that can be used to complete your eye look. On one end there is a felt tip liner great for creating a wing and the other is a kohl liner great for tight-lining your upper lash line or applying to your bottom waterline.
Dimensional Eye Creator Kit – Let’s Talk Eyes Palette & Black Liner Duo
My favorite shade in the palette was Gurl! (top right) which is a really pretty shimmery champagne/rose gold shade. I used it on my eyelids as well as the inner corner of my eyes which did a great job at making them pop. When it came to the felt tip liner I thought it applied beautifully until I tried getting a precise application in the inner corner of my eye. I tried to create a thin line multiple times, however, each time the line bled creating a thick smokey effect. After wiping it off multiple times with a q-tip, I gave up and ended up using the kohl liner to do the inner corner. It may have been user error and I may just need to have a lighter hand and apply less pressure, however, I thought I gave it a fair amount of tries. Other than that, I thought the staying power was superb. After applying liner swatches to my hand, I tried washing them off with soap and water and found that I needed to rub rather hard to remove them. I took this as a sign that the liner should hold up throughout the day with no issues.
To remove the liner I would suggest using Neutrogena oil-free eye makeup remover. It does an amazing job at removing eye makeup in a just a few swipes which is why it’s been my favorite for many years. I thought the eyeshadows applied well to my eyelids when using my finger which is how Weylie applied them in her tutorials however I found that there was quite a bit of shadow kickback when dipping my brush into them. I found this to be especially true with the shade potato which kicked up shadow everywhere when dipping my blending brush into it. Overall I would say this is a nice palette and I like that it comes with a dual ended liner which makes it easy to create a complete eye look. After reviewing all three collaborations (Chloe Morello, Dulce Candy, and Weylie Hoang) my one suggestion for Pixi would be to amp up the pigmentation. I feel that both their 2017 and 2018 collaborations offered decent eye shadow pigmentation however, I would really love to see palettes with pigmentation that makes us say WOW!
