Swatches are left to right starting from the top. Here’s the swatches numbered + more photos.

Clio released three new Pro Eye Palettes for their Spring/Summer 2019 collection, and I picked up the first one called 01 Simply Pink. The palette retails for 32,000 won and comes with 10 eyeshadows: 5 mattes, 4 shimmers, and a crystal glitter (#4 Love jam). I fell in love with the colors when I first saw it, so after it released I bought it right away! Got it through roseroseshop on eBay.

The mattes are easy to work with and are very natural skin-toned pinks that don’t turn brownish/coral when blended (was searching for something like that so I’m so happy it happened!) Very creamy, they don’t feel dusty or powdery which is a plus.

The glitters are really sheer, but they last very well and don’t move around. I like to use them as toppers over the mattes 😊 They are very fine and reflective shimmer, not really like “wet” shimmer though since you can see the sparkles/glitter.

Love jam (#4) is a really special formula that Clio calls a “crystal glitter,” because it has very big chunks of white glitter mixed with two pinky glitters. You definitely need to use your finger for this shadow because it’s kind of patchy applied with a brush. And since it’s so creamy and basically just glitter packed together, it has a lot of fall out in the palette and on the eyes. still gorg tho so u know i’m still using 😡

Overall, I think the shadows in this palette are wearable and pigment of them is perfect - not too strong, but not too sheer. I would say it’s in between Western shadow pigmentation and typical Korean eyeshadow pigmentation. I like to just haphazardly put a color on my lids and I think it’s really good for that. Here’s an easy look I did today using #2, #5, #9 🙈

Thank you very much for reading!

Reminds me of my Huda Beauty New Nudes palette!

aoibuOP•

YUP! agreed x1000, lotsa Korean youtubers actually compared it to the New Nudes palette, and since Huda Beauty isn't available in Korea yet, a lot recommended trying this palette.

i was actually interested in the New Nudes but purchased Clio for certain reasons like size (and money fufu 😅)

suhseal•

Yes totally thought the same thing. I don’t like huda’s formula though. This might be worth a try.

how about the staying power of the shadow? do you need to retouch?

8
aoibuOP•

after work (6-8 hours) i can still see the shadow, so i would say the matte lasting power is average~good! don't think it's anything to WOW about, but it does the job. i think the shimmers have amazing staying power tho because they don't smudge down onto my cheeks.

i don't really retouch anything besides my oils and lips, so i can't really say anything about that. but i never felt like a need to retouch my shadows with this palette. thanks for reading!

Ooh this looks like a good dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk palette.

i've been eyeing it for a while. do you know if it contains carmine?

6
aoibuOP•

looks like it does contain carmine. the english packaging didn't have an ingredients list which is definitely a minus in my book 😡 so i just checked clio's korean website and put their list through google translator.

here's the ingredients list in korean if anyone else is interested: 프로 아이 팔레트 01 심플리 핑크 탤크, 마이카 (CI 77019), 티타늄 디옥사이클린 (CI 77891), 나일론 -12, 실리카, 네오 펜 틱글 라이 콜 디에 칠 헥사 노 에이트, 보론 ​​나이트 라이드, 페닐 트리 메 치콘, 합성 플루오르 로고 파이트, 디메 치콘, 마카다미아 씨 오일, 마그네슘 미리 스테이트, 마그네슘 스테아르 메이트, 메칠 프로판 디올, 디 이소 스테 아릴 말레이, 디 이소 스테아 레이트 / 헥사 스테아르 트 / 헥사 로지 네이트, 이소 스테 아릴 네오 (CI 77861), 황색 산화철 (CI 77492), 옥탄도 데스 실 스테아로 일 스테아 레이트, 프로판 디올, 폴리 부텐, 하이드로 제네 티드 레시틴, 트리에 톡 시카 프릴 릴 실란, 메 치콘, 적색 산화철 (CI 77491), 흑색 산화철 (CI 77499), 망간 니즈 바이올렛 (CI 77742), 카민 (CI 75470), 칼슘 알루미늄 보로 실리케이트, 칼슘 티타늄 보로 실리케이트, 메칠 메타 크릴 이 트렌 톡산, 헥실 라우 레이트, 디메틸렌 / 비닐 디메틸 에테르, 디 글리세 릴 벤젠, 디 글리세 릴 벤젠, 디 글리세 릴 벤젠, 디 글리세 릴 벤조, 펜탄 시클로 헥사 논, 시클로 헥사 논, 시클로 헥산, 시클로 헥산, 시클로 헥산, 시클로 펜탄, 시클로 헥산, 시클로 헥산, 시클로 헥산, (CI 19140), 적색 226 호 (CI 73360), C20-24 알킬화 디 메 치콘, 카 프릴 릭 / 카 프릭 트리글리 세라이드, 미네랄 오일, 디 메치 콘택트 스테아르, 하이드로 옥시 프로필 비스 팔미 타마 이드 엠티, 록 사이드, 비닐 디 메톡콘 / 메치 콘실 세스 퀴 옥산 올 폴리머, 옥틸도 데칸 올, 에이치 디아이 / 트리메틸 올 헥실 락 크로스 폴리머

I ordered this on yesstyle and after 2 weeks they cancelled my order and it has been out of stock ever since 😢 I still want it though, especially after your review! I will try roseroseshop now, thank you!

6
aoibuOP•

i had a similar experience with yesstyle when they ended up cancelling my order of a pony effect cushion foundation 😡

i've ordered from roseroseshop numerous times and i always get my stuff well before the expected delivery date so an A++ from me

Whoa this looks like a softer version of the New Nude from Huda Beauty! 😻 (when I get home from work will fully check the review and edit this comment 🙏🏻)

EileenSuki•

Thanks for the review! I was looking at this one for normal wear, but also travel. It looks beautiful. How good does it last? Did any smuch due to eyelids or not? My eyelids make eye shadow smuch so i am kinda wondering about that.

3
aoibuOP•

i was actually surprised to see that the glimmers didn't smudge or fall out onto my cheeks. i don't really have major problems with eyeshadow smudge (only eyeliner 😡 ) so take my experience with a grain of salt. think it is average~good!

i think this palette is perfect for travel (has a brush and is smol), so definitely taking it with me for travel over the summer.

alanabeezy•

thank u for reviewing! u are gorgeous!! I’ve been watching a lot of reviews on this and I actually used to own huda’s new nudes but destashed it so I was interested in picking this up but I wanted more reviews! Defs might pick this up cuz it seems more compact and easy to bring for traveling!

hskachu•

wow, this looks like an expanded version of 3ce’s overtake!! thank you for sharing, you’re so pretty ^^

3
aoibuOP•

yup, i also have 3ce's overtake and clio's shadows are more pinky undertones. much better for the spring time. 3ce is more beige and nudey, but both are great palettes tho. thanks so much for the comment :)

2

Can I ask which palette do you prefer more? I’ve been considering both but am not too sure which to get

1
aoibuOP•

HM, i would say i prefer clio's just because i like the colors more (more pink than orange), but i also do think clio's formula is better. 3ce's eyeshadow formula is more dry/powdery and the shimmers, while really pretty, are more chunkier. i have some crow's feet/eye wrinkles and i think 3ce shadows accentuate them.

other than that, if you prefer orange/brownish tones i do think 3ce is a better choice and i like the 3x3 palette layout more than clio's 2x5 layout.

1

Oo thank you! I guess it really comes down to a preference of colors huh,, I’m still a beginner so I might go for the Clio one since it seems easier to work with, although I do like the colors of the 3CE one more. Maybe I’ll save up and get them both lol

1
hskachu•

if you are more yellow toned like me, 3ce’s is perfect for a casual makeup looks < 3

1

I’m terrible with telling what undertones I have tbh ;;; but thank u!

1
hskachu•

oooo i can see that!! it looks gorgeous on you, sadly i’m more yellow so pink would come off garish on me : ( but still such a lovely palette!! < 3

I really love the color selection of this palette and was instantly drawn in when Soo Beauty talked about it. This is some seriously popular stuff. I went to so many CLIO shops and other drug stores in Seoul over a weeks time trying to find this because it was sold out everywhere but found one on my last day and spent the last of money. Def a lot of hype behind it but not overhype! Its easy for me to use two colors at a time bc I suck at eyeshadow. since i suck at eyeshadow I use a blending brush for a matte base and finger for metallic/glitters and always use primer and setting spray. Metallic and glittery shades are so cute and just my cup of tea. there is also a nude version and a peachy/nude version as well. if you're on the fence for a new easy palette this is a good cohesive choice. its probably easier to get online than in store ( only in seoul lol ) bc i legit went to over 50 locations and it was sold out. get your hands on it now lol

yasumai•

thank you for the review! i've been eyeing this because it reminded me (just like anyone else) of the new nudes palette, but i didn't really wanna purchase that one. i'll save me some money and go for clios instead~

It's like a mini-Huda New Nudes! So beautiful, I love it.

luvsics•

The glitters are gorgeous, and very thorough review! Now I’m upset I didn’t know about this palette until now, or else I would’ve bought it while I was traveling in Seoul earlier this month. 😅 You’re so pretty btw! ♡

marchaprilmae•

i knew i could always count on this sub for swatches, thank you so much! :O what lovely colors, they flatter you so well ~

did you use eye primer before you applied the shadows?

2
aoibuOP•
