Maybelline 'The Brights Palette' Review

Maybelline has came out with their third palette called 'The Brights'! I'm not a huge fan of bright colors but after owning their other two palettes, I wanted to get my hands on this one too! 

With these palettes being so affordable at $10, I don't feel as bad adding them to my endless Eyeshadow collection like I do when I buy an expensive one!

 You guys already know I love The Nudes and The Smokes Palette, which you can find my reviews for them here and here, the second is comparing the two. 

Now let's get into The Brights Palette!
Same packaging as the other two palettes. I found mine at Target. 

The first thing I loved about this palette is that it comes with nuetral shades too. I love all the bright colors, but you get two Browns, some champagne colors, and a black too. 

Swatches 
So by looking at the swatches, these don't seem that pigmented or impressive. I felt the same way about The Nudes and The Smokes when swatched but they preform better when applied to your eyes. However when you get eyeshadows that are bright, you want them bright and expect them to be bright.  Thankfully, I have a solution to fix the pigmentation. The Maybelline color tattoos pair super well with this palette. Any bright Eyeahdow base is going to make bright colors more pigmented and standout more.

Look at what a difference these make in the swatches. They are much more vibrant and bright. I already owned all of these color tattoos, but any bright base will work just as good (Nyx jumbo pencils, colorful eyeliners, gel liners, etc.)

My overall thoughts
-This is a good, affordable palette that I think is very versatile because it had both Neutral colors and bright ones. 
-The pigmentation isn't the best, but you as you can see you can make it work.
-For someone like myself who doesn't wear a lot of birghts, this palette is great because it's affordable and won't break your bank account. 
-I still like the Nudes Palette the best out of the 3, but I do recommned all of them. 
-This probably won't be a palette that o reach for as much as the other two, but I like to have fun colors like this for special occasions. 

Have you tried out The Brights Palette yet? If so leave your thoughts on it!!
