by Corey Gray ![]() ‘Renaissance’, from the French ‘naissance’ means birth. The Renaissance was the rebirth of art in a time of stony-faced practicality and low spirits. The Renaissance was about inspiration and exploration, and that energy is deftly harnessed in Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Modern Renaissance eyeshadow palette. The Modern Renaissance palette comes with fourteen 0.02-ounce shadows. Compared to the beloved Urban Decay Naked palette, that’s less than half the amount of product per shadow, but with the Modern Renaissance palette, you do get two more shadows than the Naked palette for $12 less. You get ten matte shades, and four stunning shimmer shades. It’s a warm-toned palette, featuring mostly neutrals and a few berry shades, all with Renaissance themed names that really add to the very classic vibe of palette. I wouldn’t say that these eyeshadows are the most pigmented, but they are incredibly buttery, blendable, and can be built up to be very opaque. The color selection is really reminiscent of richly vibrant Renaissance paintings, and is surprisingly incredibly versatile. In the few weeks that I’ve had this palette, I’ve been create such wildly different looks, whether it be a casual and natural eye, a dramatic smoky eye, or a soft terracotta poolside look; the possibilities are as endless as your imagination. My palette is looking so rough because it has become my go-to. Honestly, the magic of this palette is how inspiring it is. I’m not sure if it’s the elegant soft pink faux suede packaging, the shade names that transport you to the sun-kissed beaches of the Italian coast, or the refined, but not stuffy or expected color selection. Now, I was planning of filling this review to the brim with Renaissance themed puns, but my pun reserve was fresc-out, and honestly this palette can really stand on it’s own without any extra sauce. This is an incredible palette for travel thanks to its slim packaging. It comes with a duo-sided brush, and a large, decent quality mirror. For only $42, this palette is a great deal, and is absolutely stunning for creating both breezy and heartbreaking summer looks.
