Pretty Grunge - Eyeshadow Palette

The Huda Beauty Eyeshadow Palettes are a makeup lover's dream if you’re into rich, vibrant colors with great payoff. The formula is consistently buttery and easy to blend, whether you’re using the mattes, shimmers, or those stunning metallics that Huda is known for. Each palette usually offers a good balance of bold shades and neutrals, so you can create a wide range of looks—from everyday natural to full-on glam. The pigment is intense, so you don’t need to pack on the color to get it to show up. A little goes a long way, and the shadows blend easily without getting muddy, which is a big plus. The shimmers and metallics are especially eye-catching—they have this beautiful, almost wet look when applied, and they catch the light in all the right ways. One thing I love is the variety of textures in the palette. You’re not just getting a bunch of standard mattes and shimmers—there are glittery toppers, pressed pearls, and even those creamy shades that can double as liners or base colors. It’s super versatile. The packaging is sleek and sturdy, with a good-sized mirror, which makes it great for travel. And while some of the more vibrant color schemes might seem intimidating at first glance, they’re surprisingly wearable and easy to work with once you start playing around with them.

Stunning colors, mattes are long wearing

The colors are stunning. The mattes are long wearing and ready to blend. I put a shimmer on with my finger, but that didn't last long through the day.

Don't let "grunge" scare you!

Don't let the dark colors scare you away, this is a versatile palette and worth the buy. I am probably intermediate level when it comes to eye makeup skills, and I have gotten several office work appropriate looks out of, in addition to night time looks. Quality is great, as is the case with most Huda shadows. Minimal fall out. I am Fenty 420 and I found that most of the colors can be used in a complimentary way on me, so it is brown girl friendly.

Cream eyeshadow shade issue

Colors look beautiful but not risking using this. The cream shade Grunge appears to have a type of mold on it.

It's a NO

The colors are what I wanted in a color story, but the formula just wasn't it at ALL. it was super patchy and hard to blend. the only good pigmented shadow was Maverick. other than that, everything had so much fallout and lack of smoothness. and the final black creamy shade was disgusting. it felt like greasy halloween paint and creased like crazy. Returned and exchanged for a different competitor palette with much better formulas.

Pass

I was very excited about this product's colors and color names. However, I would not purchase Huda eyeshadow again. Naked pallettes are the way to go for me. Huda does NOT last...it creases right away and looks awful by the end of the day. It was a very disappointing purchase. For the price it should be of higher quality. Do not recommend.

I will figure this puzzle out someday.

I have no idea what on earth to do with half of the colors in the pallette! therefore it's just sitting around in my vanity, barely touched because I refuse to let it break me! it cost too much to ignore and I can't send it back because I have a weird fascination for it.

My go-to staple now

The colors are unique and glide on well. It's my go to palette. Some of the metallic don't work for my skin tone but love the other colors. Colors are as expected too.

More than what it seems

What a fun palette. Do not pass this over because it seems dark and brooding. The glitter, shimmers, and shine are absolutely eye catching. The mattes apply with ease and layer beautifully. You can create a nude everyday look or an all out garage grunge girl look.

Huda Beauty is one of my favourite brands, but I haven't bothered keeping up with their eyeshadow releases & I wasn't planning on buying whatever the latest bigger eyeshadow palette release would be either, as the brand favours nude tones & warmer neutral shades and we've seen them all now... Boom. Cool-toned heaven. Pretty Grunge is a desk-to-night out, cool-toned palette, which includes a sìlvery overcoat [Rebelle], which looks like pressed glitter in the pan, but applies smooth, fine & wet looking over any other shadow in the palette. Plus there is a glossy black gel-to-powder shade [Grunge] - perfect for using as a shadow to achieve that perfect editorial grungy princess look, a base to deepen the other shadows, or for using as a cake-style liner. The formulas in this palette are easy to work with; the mattes are faultless, in terms of formula; buttery smooth, mega easy to blend, great to mix together to create new shades and they have next to no fallout. The metallics & creamy formulas all show up well too - I have found finger application brings out the intensity of the formulas more than brushes do, but that's the case with most brands anyway. All of the shadow shades are true to the shades in the pan, have minimum fall out & kick back, are not too thin & crumbly, they are non-fading, and I haven't experienced any formula creasing - I apply them in the morning and they'll still look good in the evening, when I remove my makeup. - My Huda Beauty eyeshadow palettes are the ones that find the most inspiring & are what I reach for most often - very wearable, well-coordinated colour stories, reliable quality and a nice balance of light-mid-deep tones to cover every occasion. When it comes to eyeshadow, cooler tones that aren't overly altered by the wearer's skintone are harder to formulate, so finalising a colour story that gives everyone the same experience is a difficult challenge and whilst I can only speak for myself, what I see in the pan is indeed the shade that I get on my skin.  I haven't had any issues with my palette, and I can't imagine anyone else who enjoys these kinds of shades being disappointed by the performance.

Stunning Versatile Palette

I have yet to meet a Huda eyeshadow palette that I don't love and this one is no exception. The Strong AF is my go to main color now and I have received so many compliments. It's truly a great palette that can be subtle or wow, depending on your mood. Versatility is key for me and I take this palette with me on trips for that very reason.

Great Versatile Palette!

I was unsure if I should purchase this palette but ultimately I am happy I did! The color range is excellent and each shade is wearable. I can do everyday looks and add shimmers for nighttime. I often wear shadow liner, and the black shade in this palette is very long wearing as an eyeliner, even when it is not set with a liquid on top. The black cream shadow also blends well but doesn’t budge when it dries down. I took a star off because the matte shades have more fallout than I’m used to. They can be a little messy to work with on the eye and they dust up the palette. They still provide enough pigment and I can work with them though.
