@Floating in Dreams I've heard many many people say that about 1-4. So many reviews on #5 talked about how the quality was better. I thought about getting #4, but the reviews stop me.
Hi Maaike I only own the Viseart and I do really like it, but for me it was missing a light purple and the paler shades I really need to make it work the best for me. The original lavande quad gives me the shades I was missing and they work as a duo for me - truly better together. I am ultra pale however and most people will not need the paler shades I felt were lacking. For me it was always a smoky purple eye alone (which I do like), but isn't always the look I'm going for. The UD ultraviolet was such a massive disappointment to me when it was released - so few purples and a peach heavy palette. I rarely wear peach tones (occasionally in the Summer) and half of the palette would have been unused, so I never bought it and don't regret that decision. The viseart has the purples and the pale green that interested me, but with a more taupe leaning cast of "neutrals" rather than peach tones. I also own the Viseart amethyst and it gives me more plums as a different variant of purple, whereas the violette is more violet as the name suggests. The Amethyst also has some pretty pale pinks I really like included. It's now a bit older, bu still really performs well even now. Viseart is my favourite eyeshadow brand - the shadows are smooth on my 51 year old lids, they wear all day, blend very well and have minimal fallout if any. They just work for me. Best wishes.
What do you mean? I inserted the original Menagerie color story when I discuss the color stories and I show every palette for every step and open them up for the steps where that's what we are discussing.
