J.Cat Beauty Master Class Face/FX Color Palette & Tool Kit

Bought off an influencer's recommendation

I purchased after an influencer recommendation. I worked with it multiple times and it's just not a good product. It's patchy and near impossible to blend. Will invest in a better formula.

For what it is- it's amazing

I disagree with the low ratings…. Even tho it's not a luxe product it's actually really great for what it is. I almost was going to return it and I recently ordered a more expensive cream foundation so that may end up being my go to.. but I actually love how flattering this looks the only thing is you have to figure out how to make it work for you. It will not do the work for you- so on my dry combo/sensitive skin it only looks good when I wear vitamin E oil as a moisturizer and let that absorb… then I go in with my fingers and grab product.. also apply it with my warm fingers and literally almost apply it like a moisturizer. Then? It looks awesome. I did a full face of glam and took pictures and edited them- which took about 1.5 hours. Barely even powdered (only blush) and there was zero separation and it still looked great- not greasy or dry. Just right. Honestly I'm keeping it around because why not? Yea luxe products can be fun but this kind of seems like a potential staple backup. Give it a chance.

No real complaints here

I got this to use for Halloween makeup for my two small children. I got the neon version. I found the colors to be reasonably well pigmented and easy to work with. I mixed some custom shades for my kids' makeup and really just liked the formula. I liked that you go the makeup, the spatula, and the metal palette in the set. Made for easy mixing. My only issue is that I felt like the pans contained less than I would have expected (though to be fair I probably could have done better math with the provided measurements). Each pan is maybe 1/4" thick so for reference, I needed about half a pan to coat each child's face. If you're looking to use this regularly, it might be too little product to be really effective. But overall, no complaints!

low quality

it won't last I did my face within 1hr the paint didn't look the same almost everything falling apart

Not professionally packaged, unsanitary

Bought three different ones, one had a cracked case, the other had lint inside on one of the foundations very visible and the color palette was dirty, black ball specks on the yellow

These are REALLY NICE!

I'll explain my 4star rating. I got 2 (neon & Med-Deep). This review is for the med-deep. This palette is something I'd use yr round as a bronzer/contour palette. I only use cream products to bronze & contour anyway because they give the most natural finish & offer the most longevity (when skin is prepped & set correctly). I apply to the outer perimeter of my face using a semi-stiff synthetic brush. A couple of inexpensive favorites are from Elf (the white one - airbrush stipple is 1 example). I also use a couple by Real Techniques too (Expert Face Brush is another example).

The pigmentation & consistency is perfect bcz sometimes if it's too creamy it can create an over blended muddy mess or it can be patchy & offer little longevity. So I like how "stiff" this is in the pan. Sometimes I'll run the heat of my hairdryer over it to get it nice n soft (but not too melty) & this allows for an even more buttery soft application but it still sets in the same way where it doesn't go anywhere (I always set w/a light pressing of powder & sometimes a setting spray afterwards). This isn't greasy or waxy. The consistency, color payoff, longevity, application & finish remind me VERY MUCH of the ELF cream contour palette or the Anastasia Beverly Hills cream contour palette (but this is at a literal fraction of the cost - now it's even less than ELF's cost!) What makes this different from those though are the undertones. This palette is MUCH warmer overall & I'd say they're more for bronzing. None of the shades are really cool enough to contour with - except maybe the darkest shade in the palette. But the rest are either too light, or too warm toned. There's 1 shade in this that has a cool undertone (top left) a medium skin could use that shade to conceal or correct with. It's really the bottom row thats to bronze &/or contour with id say. I wish the bottom row wasn't quite as warm/orange-y & that's why I gave only 4stars. Companies automatically assume that if you're a medium to med-tan skin color that you have a warm undertone to your skin & im someone who's medium-med-tan with a VERY PINK/ROSY undertone. Not PEACH! Pink & rosey! Anyway, I can still use this when I'm tan (but only about 3-4 pans at most). But a palette like this is VERY convenient for me bcz I contour & bronze every day. So this is a really good cream palette!
