Juvia’s Place Palette The Zulu

Have you ever been intimidated by a makeup palette lol? I have to admit, honestly yes. If there ever was a palette where I thought, “What am I going to do with this”, it was Juvia’s Place palette The Zulu By Juvia’s. This a rather exotic palette, mixed with metallics shimmers and highlighly pigmented colors. This palette can be worn for both day and nightime looks.

My First Impressions

• Initial thoughts, I wasn’t too sure about this palette.
• It did not blend well. (Remember, initial thoughts lol).

So a few tips about this palette, it does blend well…but not with all concealers. So maybe I should blame the concealer that I was using to prime my lid. (Tarte Cosmetics lol). When I purchased The Zulu palette, I also purchased Juvia’s place concealer. When I used that concealer, I was so happy with how well the palette blended out.

I also must admit, that when I first used the palette I was not sure of how to cut crease. When you study Juvia’s Place brand, that is what they are all about so I decided to practice my blend game and my cut crease game. Technique really plays apart on how this look was going to come out.

So in this I learned, one cannot always blame the product sometimes one may need to practice more and try a new technique. This is the look that I created using The Zulu palette.

The shades of The Zulu palette are:

• Tangerine
• Orange
• Canary yellow
• Pecan
• Matte jade
• Metallic lime
• Green aquamarine
• Metallic Rose Gold
• Matte Magenta
• Matte Electric Purple

For this look, I used Canary yellow, Matte Magenta, and Electric Purple. I primed my lid with Juvia’s place concealer shade 16 blended the shades, and cut the crease with the same concealer. What I noticed about the concealers from Juvia’s place is that they dry fast and set so nicely. No creasing, which is so important when creating a cut crease. How do you feel about the cut crease? Have you tried it? Would you rock this look?
