Make Up For Ever — Fifty Shades of Grey Give In to Me: 4 Artist Shadow Palette

Make Up For Ever has launched four new and limited edition make-up sets as apart of their collection in collaboration with the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. The Give In to Me set includes a total of five full-size permanent products: four shades of Artist Shadow in a palette, a Graphic Liner Vinyl Pen Eyeliner, a tube of Smoky Extravagant Mascara, a tube of Lab Shine Diamond Collection Lip Gloss in D14 Indian Pink, and a tube of Rouge Artist Natural Lipstick in N4 Pink Beige. This is a review of the 4 Artist Shadow Palette. The set comes in a black vinyl keepsake box with peach trim. Inside the box is a side compartment with a key charm that goes with the theme of the collection. Aside from the exterior and keepsake boxes, the products are housed in regular Make Up For Ever packaging. The palette contains a total of 10 grams of product, and the set retails for $79 USD or $90 CAD.

It is more golden than Make Up For Ever I-526 Pearl Beige, warmer and more golden than Make Up For Ever I-528 Pearl, lighter and less golden than MAC Ricepaper, and similar to MAC Dazzlelight and Makeup Geek Shimma Shimma.
ME-612 Silver Brown is a medium warm-toned caramel bronze in a Metallic finish. It is a permanent shade. It has a soft, silky texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is warmer and more orange than Make Up For Ever ME-654 Cauldron, warmer and more brown than Make Up For Ever ME-554 Gunmetal, warmer than MAC Sable, more copper than MAC Bronze, and more metallic than Makeup Geek Frappe.
S-556 Taupe Gray is a medium-dark cool-toned taupe grey with a subtle sheen in a Satiny finish. It is a permanent shade. It has a soft, silky texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is cooler and more grey than Make Up For Ever S-560 Taupe, darker and warmer than Make Up For Ever S-114 Pearl Gray, lighter and less matte than MAC Copperplate, lighter and warmer than MAC Pearled Earth, and lighter and more grey than Makeup Geek Taupe Notch.

It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily.

Stunning, stunning, stunning! All four shades included in this palette are just gorgeous, and exactly what you would expect from Make Up For Ever's Artist Shadows. Soft, dense, and buttery; ultra-pigmented with full colour pay-off; amazing blendability with smooth and even application. I have nothing bad to say about any of these four shades, really. I also like that the pans are removable from the palette here, so all four shades are interchangeable. You can buy all four shades separately in case you don't want all of them together, but I actually think this combination works really well to create a variety of looks from natural to sultry, and they should work well on all complexions. The Give In to Me set as a whole is also an incredible value, given that all of the products in it are full-size and permanent (the set is worth $179 USD or $204 CAD). Again, the Fifty Shades of Grey theme is only reflected in the keepsake box so fans of the movie can appreciate the novelty of it, but those who want the set strictly for the make-up (or just don't like the movie, period) can breathe a sigh of relief that the product itself is in Make Up For Ever's regular black packaging.
