 What if I told you I couldn't stay, take me or leave me, you can still What is up welcome to my channel so for today's tutorial I'm going to be doing three looks using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera palette which is just this gorgeous summer colorful palette. A lot of you guys have asked me whether I was getting this palette if I was going to review it. This isn't a hard review I am going to talk about it in the intro for a little bit just because I'm so late on this but there was already so many great tutorials and great reviews using this palette that I didn't feel crazy pressure to get it up super early for you guys but I did want to get one video up about it. So overall I can say though that I had a really lovely experience with this palette there was only one color that I didn't like which was Palermo over here this color did not work for me at all and you will see that in the tutorials but the rest worked great. I didn't want to talk too much about this palette just because I basically gave a little mini reviews of every single shade in this palette as I went throughout the tutorials. So that's what I was going for more of a review style as I went through with my tutorials and I created three completely different looks a hot pink look a neutral look and this colorful look right here just to show you the versatility with this palette and I will say I am impressed with the quality of this palette you actually can get a lot of different looks with this palette. So one thing I do wish is that they had kind of a matte turquoise in here or some type of matte play on blues I think that would have been really complimentary to these three colors right here but other than that I mean I think this is a unique enough palette to wear it's different from your collection but there are still neutrals if you are uncomfortable with that but as all of the other reviews are stating this is an awesome palette so if you want to see the three looks that I created using this palette let's get into look number one. So I'm gonna start off with prepping my eyelid I'm using the Giorgio Armani High Stretch Concealer I've been loving this it is so lightweight so if you notice a little bit of glitter over here that was a mistake it was a decision I made that was a very bad idea. So I'm gonna start off with the color estate right here and to apply I'm using the Wayne Goss 16 brush now this brush I used on the other side so it is mixed in with the pink but it doesn't matter because I'm gonna mix this color anyways so it's okay if this brush is dirty. So I just kind of use that as my base color and I did notice this does have a slight sheen to it that can emphasize a little bit of texture on the eyelid it's nothing really bad but I just happened to notice that it did emphasize some texture which some sheen and satin finishes aren't going to but this one did okay so next we're gonna go in with Monte Carlo right here so this is the shade that we're just gonna kind of mix to really bring in the pink element to this look lens really really nice I really like this shade so by the way this is the first look I'm doing with the Riviera palette so the formula is all new to me for this palette in particular so far from what I've noticed the shadows are a little bit powdery and soft just as the normal ABH formula is but if you like that you'll like the formula of this from the few shades that I've used for this look so next you know I have to use Bahamas that crazy hot pink this color is what kind of makes the palette look crazier than it actually is that in the turquoise so this is the Wayne Goss 17 brush it's a slightly more pointy blending brush and I'm just gonna run this along my crease this shade is definitely workable though it is a Barbie bright hot pink it's workable you know so what I'm noticing is it definitely has faded we'll see if it fades with use so I'm taking a Mac to 17 brush and I'm going in with Khan which is this deep purple I'm so happy they put a shade like this in brands are really afraid to use this type of shade in their palace I think it's really hard to formulate and that's why but I love purples like this and I love that they put this in so I'm just putting this in my outer corner and then just kind of blending it a little it's not super packed with pigment which I think is okay I think this will be a really good color just as a crease color not really a definition color because as a defining color which is what I'm using it for now I would like it to be a little bit more deeper and pigmented but if I was to use it like a crease color I think this is a really good shade so I don't mind it it's not like the most smooth blending shade but that's the nature of these colors okay so next we're going to use Palermo I'm gonna be honest I don't think this shade is very good I'm using my Mac shader brush I don't know the number of it and I'm just kind of applying that to the outer corner so this shade is really soft and it feels really beautiful like a shade that would swatch very well but it just doesn't translate onto the lid that well it's a little bit chunky there's a lot of fallout which there usually is with ABH shadows but I get an exceptional amount of fallout of course it's kind of behaving now because I'm talking about it but what I found is the shadow it doesn't adhere to the lid very well I've tried it with a finger and with a brush with a concealer underneath it looks worse with the concealer underneath which is why I didn't put concealer on now but the first time I attempted this look I tried to take the concealer all the way out and that Palermo shade just wasn't adhering to it it looked terrible so I had to restart the entire look because of that shade even here you can still see my lid kind of through it it's just chunky it doesn't stick to the lid and as you blend other shades around it it's also just going to come right off so that right there in my opinion is a Dutch shade and I'm just doing like a little bit of a like cut crease in the inner third of my lid not going too far out so if I could redo this look again I would use a white concealer for this step because I did use the white shade that's in the palette over and the white shade it's a very nice white shade and I'm really happy that they incorporated a stark white shade but it's not super packed with pigment so it doesn't really go super white over this concealer so it's called sale by the way it doesn't go super white on top of the concealer which is okay that's my fault I should have known better whites are difficult so I'm really happy that they have this white and I don't think it's a bad white I just think I would have personally preferred a little bit more pigmentation so I could really see the white over the concealer but to solve this problem just get like a white concealer and you'll be fine that was my mistake and me being nitpicky to what they could do for this palette and then just like that this middle shade needs to be reapplied and I'm gonna go in with a little bit more of con this polymer shade just completely came off my lid on this side I haven't watched any reviews on this palette those four so I don't know if other people have been experiencing this or noticed this okay so essentially that's the top part of the lid I'm going to kind of refresh the white and get them a little bit more even but I'm gonna finish my face and I'll be right back welcome to my eye again so we're gonna finish off this look with the lower lash line color I think I'm just going to use con all over the bottom because I do want to see how this color lays I think this is just gonna bring the look together normally you'd expect the lower lash line to be pink but just adding that touch of purple in the outer corner it makes this come together and bringing the color pretty well as well going to apply eyeliner and lashes and I'll be right back so we have the final look here I know I went a little crazy with the lashes obviously nothing about this look it's really wearable if you are curious about anything else I'm wearing it will be linked in the description box down below under look one of the six shades that I used for this look the only one that I was disappointed by was Hilarmo I just it sucks to be honest it's just not a good shade but the rest I really like I wish the white was maybe a slightly more pigmented I really think the hot pink it's not as intimidating as it looks and this shade and this shade just blended beautifully this has a slight weird shimmer to it that's a little bit on flattering to texture on the skin but I mean that's just me being very nitpicky so that's just kind of my thoughts on this palette for look number one the goal for today's tutorial is to show you that you can also get a neutral look the palette looks very intimidating because of all the colors but you actually can travel with this and get a neutral look as well so I'm going to take with the brush that it comes with sales and I'm just gonna put that underneath my eyebrow just as the highlight for today and next we're going to take cabana right here and this is a gorgeous everyday neutral color really love this as a transition it is very loosely packed in the pan so you are going to get a lot of fallout so just dip lightly into the pan it is very very pigmented as well taking a mac 217 I'm going to dip in palm deep chocolate brown and all I'm doing is I'm just placing that on the outer third of my eyelid and then we're just gonna be blending that along the crease so I love having this color in this palette just because it really allows you to create depth dark browns are one of the best colors that you can have to add depth and also it can work as an eyeliner as well so happy that they added a deep chocolate brown and it blends very very nice as well so I'm just gonna take that original blending brush we use and kind of blend everything I'm taking the El professional blender brush and I just mixed those two crease color we used and lightly running that along the lower lash line nothing too crazy we don't need to get super dramatic here so next I'm taking yacht right here and this elf eye shadow brush and this shade right here is amazing I'm going to put this all over the lid it is so pigmented it looks wet and my brush isn't even wet so this is one of my favorite colors in the palette it is so beautiful usually shadows like these that you think you need a finger for but no this shadow works with just a brush and a dry brush at that if you wanted a look that was a little bit more cool you can go in with that color or you can do what I did to warm it up take a little bit of inheritance and I'm literally just patting this is another shimmer color which is amazing and I'm just gonna put that right over on top and you see how that just warms everything up and creates this really pretty gold so you went from this cool bronze to a really pretty gold color and if you want it even more gold just use inheritance on its own now of course with all AB8 shadows you're gonna get some fallout it is what it is and I'm just wiping it away so this is the completed eye shadow I'm going to finish the rest of my face and I will be right back okay so this is the completed neutral look with the Riviera palette anything else on my face of course in the description box all the other details will be under look number two in the description box but yeah I didn't do any lashes or anything I wanted to keep it really neutral and pretty and bronzy every single color that I used today I absolutely loved those two neutral shimmers that I used were amazing quality they spread on the lid like butter and they didn't even need to be used with a wet brush or anything and they looked so foiled and so metallic so overall today I had a really great experience with the palette so yeah this is look number two okay so I just wanted to do this colorful look that was very simple for you guys to do we're gonna be starting off with sales right here and as always I'm just gonna kind of run this underneath my brow bone just to set that concealer and this is just a $1 elf eye shadow brush that I'm using that is awesome and then at taking my olamar brush from the Ohito's brush set volume 2 I'm digging into the shade coastline and this is going to be our crease color this shade is so complimentary to blues this is the perfect crease shade for when you're wanting to do a blue look so I will be taking another elf eye shadow brush we're going to go into this great turquoise shimmer color I do wish they had a matte version of this I feel like that way you could create the ultimate turquoise look but I do love this shade and this is going on the outer half of the lid and also going to bring this blue pretty high just above my crease for this particular look I would recommend not doing your face makeup first just because with these colorful shimmery shades it can get a little bit messy so next I'm taking my Wayne Goss 19 brush and I'm going into con right here so originally I wasn't going to add an outer corner color I was just gonna leave it at this blue but I really think adding this matte purple shade really adds much more color to the look it just makes more sense to the look and it also makes you look like you spent a little bit more time than you did it makes everything look a little bit more complex and all you're doing is you're literally just patting and blending a little bit and that's it see don't you think that gradient to the final dark purple is just so much more pretty than if I were to leave it blue and then I've been leaving a clean brush that I only use for coastline to blend everything out this is the Wayne Goss number 17 brush and you're going to have to go back and reapply and re-blend for this look so just leave those brushes out and then taking my finger I'm going into the shade seaside right here this is one of my favorite shades in the palette I think it is so unique and I'm just going to apply that in the inner half and applying this with a finger I think is the way to go because it is super soft if you just use a brush I feel like you're gonna have problems pressing it into the skin it's so creamy and soft I think that using a patting motion and even with the warmth of your finger that's just going to adhere it to the skin better and there's no problems with pigmentation and oh my gosh do you see how beautiful that is I freaking love that shade I think it's so unique and so from this point on I'm just really touching up reapplying that turquoise color to get that to show through and then we're just blending reapplying all of that beautiful stuff okay so at this point I'm going to go off-camera finish the rest of my face makeup and I'll be right back to finish up the lower lash line with you guys okay so face makeup is on we're gonna start with the lower lash line in I'm just gonna use the only color in the palette that I haven't used yet this is Mediterranean and honestly I think if this looks how I think it's going to look this is my favorite color in the palette this is the most unique seaside very unique this is the next level of it this by the way is a Wayne Goss number 20 brush and I'm applying this to the inner part of my lower lash line oh that's gorgeous so this is definitely one of those colors which is going to be applied at best with your finger as like a lid shade but even with a brush it still is gorgeous you're gonna get the most impact with your finger and I cannot wait to put that over my eyelid it's also a little messy when you apply it with a brush so applying it like this just really isn't doing the color justice like look at how gorgeous that color is this is screaming to be put all over the lid as kind of like a one-color look I can just see it now so gorgeous and then I'm going to take the same brush I use for con which is that purple shade and I'm just going to put con on the outer corner of my lower lash line just to bring the look together so I'm going to clean this up put on some liner I'm definitely gonna go for a winged liner I think and some lashes and I'll be right back okay so this is the completed tutorial for this look all of the details of everything else that I'm wearing will be under look number three in the description box and I have to say I'm obsessed with this look it's colorful without being too much like you can totally go out in the summer at wearing this maybe with a little bit less lashes but it's it's not an obnoxious colorful look I really feel like I played with the colors in this palette well I feel like it's not too much considering I have purple intercoys on my eyelid I definitely love this colorful look I didn't have any problems with any of these shadows that are used for this look so I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial so I hope you guys enjoyed this kind of review tutorial style video so basically if you didn't collect it already I really do like this palette I love all of the different looks that you can get with this palette it may seem intimidating to you but I mean you guys saw look number two that was a completely neutral look I wore that out it was so natural so you can get a range of different looks if you want to play with color this is perfect for you create that neutral look and then use one of the colors as maybe like a pop on the lower lash line or just kind of blend it a little bit on the lower lash line mixed in with the neutral colors you can do so many things and I can just see this being a really really fun palette for summer and if you love color this is also a really great addition to the ABH collection I mean overall I tried to create looks that were simple for you guys to do while also utilizing all the colors and yeah I mean this is just a good palette and I really had fun up making this video guys it took me a long time so I will see you guys in the next video thank you for watching bye
