Bottom: Saddle and Embark
Brule is a light warm creamy beige in a Satin finish. This is a permanent shade. It has a soft, finely-milled 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 more muted than Vanilla, more golden than Orb, and warmer and more matte than Shroom.
Omigaud is a light-medium warm pink pearlized beige in a Frost finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, creamy 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 slightly more pinked than All That Glitters, brighter and more pinked than Honesty, and darker and more muted than Naked Lunch.
Saddle is a medium-dark warm peachy brown in a Matte finish. This is a permanent shade. It has a soft, finely-milled 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 darker than Soft Brown, more brown and more matte than Texture, and lighter and more golden than Brown Script.
Embark is a deep dark warm reddened brown in a Matte finish. This is a permanent shade. It has a soft, finely-milled 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 more brown than I'm Into It, darker and more reddened than Brown Down, and more brown and more matte than Sketch.
Both palettes in the PatrickStarrr collection are warm-toned, which was to be expected given Patrick's own makeup aesthetic, with Glam AF being the more neutral of the two. Every single shadow in this collection is stunning; the mattes are ultra-silky and finely-milled (perhaps some of the best mattes that MAC has come out with), and the frosts are soft and buttery. All of them have phenomenal colour pay-off and blendability. Both palettes are neutral-warm featuring mostly mattes that can be worn from day to night, which makes this more wearable for everyone. Again, my only complaint about the Glam AF palette is that three of the four shades are permanent, and the only limited edition shade (Omigaud) is so easily dupeable (hi, All That Glitters) that you could easily build this palette at any MAC Store at any time. On that note, I did notice that the shadows in this palette are somewhat softer than their permanent counterparts. On the one hand, it makes these super-blendable and more easy to pick up, but on the other hand, it leads to a bit more fall-out. Not a big deal, but worth noting. That having been said, the shades released with PatrickStarrr's collection are some of MAC's bestsellers and are widely-flattering among all skintones; Glam AF in particular is a fantastic workhorse palette for everyone. It includes all the shades you'd need for cohesive, everyday looks. So if you don't already have these shades from MAC, then this palette is absolutely worth getting.
