First, a quick word about the Love Collection, think of all the events surrounding being in love. from the very first date, to the courtship, which leads to the engagement, where the wedding follows, and after the wedding is the honeymoon, and following the honeymoon are the anniversaries. That is where the Love Collection comes in. The look of being in love begins with your makeup! Love makeup is soft, neutral, peach or pink, shades that are creamy and luminous. The finishes are velvety matte and metallic textures. The three new palettes. are sister palettes.In other words, they are great when used own their own, and even better when the palettes are used together.
Reminiscent on the Bridgerton Collection, the artwork on the packaging, both the outer box and the palette, is a Pat McGrath Masterpiece of a red heart, white bows and lavender roses, with gold embellishments. Also the gold hieroglyphics, found on the front left corner of the outer carton, completes it. The cardboard palette has a magnetic closure.Inside, underneath the lid is a large mirror, and opposite the mirror are the 6 circular eyeshadow pans embedded in black plastic. There are two horizontal rows of three shades each.
