Huda Beauty Pretty Grunge Eyeshadow Palette Brings Wearable, Smokey Shades to the Table

Huda Beauty Pretty Grunge Eyeshadow Palette is new, permanent “empowering” palette inspired by the strength within you that delivers a bold selection of 18 grunge-y shades. Is it serving up Pearl Jam circa 1993 or just some wearable smokey shades? Maybe a little of both? This is definately a more wearable smokier palette than the release Natasha Denona Xenon Eyeshadow Palette. We aren’t getting black, black, black in this palette. Huda mixed in some great nude transitional shades paired up with some very wearable taupes. Where as I struggled hard wondering how I could ever do anything with the Xenon Eyeshadow Palette I can easily see myself creating a few looks with the Pretty Grunge Palette. It feels a bit more cohesive and I feel less likely to blend myself a black eye when using it.

Huda Beauty Pretty Grunge Eyeshadow Palette launches on November 1st along with a Pretty Grunge Makeup Collection that includes a gray pH Balance Blush Gloss that adjusts to your skin’s pH Balance, new black shades of Liquid Matte Silk Balm and Lip Contour 2.0 as well as a Lip Quad featuring Liquid Matte Lipsticks in nude shades including one of Huda Beauty’s bestselling shades, Bombshell.

I’ve always been a sucker for Huda’s bigger palettes and I can easily see myself purchasing this one. It’s a very strong selection of bold, dramatic shades yet they are wearable. I had my issues with the Xenon Eyeshadow Palette as I said above. It was just so much black and so little contrast or transition in the shades. The Pretty Grunge Palette definately serves up some bolder shades but also, mixed in are some wearable nudes that will lighten up those bolder shades considerably and make for an easier way to wear a smokier look without looking like someone punched you in the eye. And hey, we should really discuss that very interesting grey pH Balance Blush Gloss! I’m guessing it changes to pink but interesting shade to go with this collection right?

Huda Beauty Pretty Grunge Eyeshadow Palette will launch soon along with the rest of the Pretty Grunge Makeup Collection which will be available for a limited-time (the palette from my understanding is the only permanent item). Hopefully we can grab it on sale during the Sephora Holiday Savings Event 2023!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    Love your reviews but I wish you wouldn’t support her after all her hateful horrible antisemitic comments. She is a horrible person.

      thank you! So glad you enjoy the reviews (this isn’t a review just to clarify, it’s just a post about the collection) honestly, I didn’t even know she had made them! I’m really bad at keeping up with the gossip on all these brands sometimes!

      Thank you! That was my first thought too – she doesn’t want my “tainted blood money”
