REVIEW: Morphe 9M Midnight Dune Artistry Palette #Blogmas2023

Whenever I am in Liverpool I have to pop into the Morphe store and I did so and got myself a few new items to try out for the blog.

Before we start I use the Max Factor Miracle Prep Eyeshadow Primer on my right eye (left in the picture). I have quite oily eyelids so trying with and without primer feels like a fair experiment.


Look 1

Eyes bare.

Primer on the one eye.

[PICTURE 16 - 17]

Stone Temple: Using a Real Techniques base shadow brush I blended this on the eye, it is a very faint colour

[PICTURE 18 - 19]

Shifting Sands: Using a Morphe M441 brush I blended this shade into the crease of my eye

[PICTURE 20]

Star Blaze: Using a Morphe small brush I highlight the inner corner of my eyes, really pigmented

[PICTURE 21 - 23]

Makeup all done, the eye makeup looks quite nice

[PICTURE 24 - 26]

17:00: The inner corner makeup has completely disappeared, the eye without primer has completely moved


Date Tried: Monday 23rd October 2023

Wonder Valley: Using a Spectrum B04 brush I patted this shade onto the lid

[PICTURE 37]

Moon Canyon: Using a Morphe liner brush I patted this shade under the eye

[PICTURE 38 - 40]

Makeup all done, I actually like this dark eye on me

[PICTURE 41 - 43]

19:00: The eyeshadow has faded on both eyes, the eye without primer has moved


Date Tried: Tuesday 24th October 2023

ROW 1:

Shifting Sands (matte soft brown)

Wonder Valley (antique bronze shimmer)

Moodswept (matte black with silver sparkle)


ROW 2:

Stone Temple (matte beige)

Full Gravity (matte cool brown)

Moon Canyon (matte smoky brown)


ROW 3:

Star Blaze (crystal shimmer)

Dream Drift (beige shimmer)

The shades are beautiful and with primer they last a long time but I have really oily eyelids so need a primer.
