  • Hey Frenzzz!
    This is a first impression of Pat McGrath’s new Sunlit Seduction, and definitely one of the softer color stories. This palette feels like a bigger version of her luxe quads: dailiy friendly, but not possessing the pizzaz found in her earlier palettes.

    I am definitely giving this one a miss. Most of these shades are pretty dupable within her own collection and the special shades are really disappointing. There is also not much variety in the looks you can achieve with this palette, everything looks pink and mauve. I really hope this one doesn't sell too well and they step up their game with next year's palette and give us what we've been asking for. 😔

    I find it interesting about what you said in the beginning of the video about Divine Rose selling SO well that it changed the game. These safe pallets seem to be releasing more and more. I think this happens with everything in life not even just the makeup industry. Businesses always want to maximize their money and will do whatever it is that the casual base will buy up. The true fans, like us, are rarely heard because we are the minority of the consumer base :/

      The amethyst “special” shade in sunlit seduction is the same metallic formula that the gun metal grey in Moonlit seduction is. You end up left with a dark base after a few hours. That’s it no more motherships for me. I’ve messaged PML to say thanks but that’s it and I’ll enjoy my older ones.

    I had told myself that I wouldn't purchase any new makeup this year as I'm getting makeup fatigue, BUT the exception was always a unique palette from Pat or Charlotte Tilbury. She's definitely saved me money with this release! That's three palettes I've skipped from her so far, it's just getting bad in terms of creativity or ingenuity. Maybe the cheaper big palette she releases for the holidays will give more than this.

    While I still love Pat’s artistry on the runway, her makeup line hasn’t been reflecting her work. As beautiful as this palette is (objectively), I think I can definitely dupe this palette with other shades in my collection, especially within my indie shadow collection since they tend to have flakier, shiny formulas. I have all of these MS palettes but I think this one will be first MS I will be passing on, even on sale. I hope the holiday palette is a little more exciting. I was eyeing Remembrance so I might get that instead, thank you for that comparison. I agree that now I’m looking to other brands to fill that artistic palette void that Pat hasn’t been hitting for me. Definitely going to get the Isamaya Industrial 2.0 sometime in the future. As always, beautiful looks and thank you for your review Alicia!

    I’m so glad to see your video-I trust your opinion because you are a fan and because you know her library of shades. I have been buying PML since her super early initial launch before the Motherships. I still have her tiny pots of loose glitter and golds.
    You helped me decide to skip this one. I have an August birthday so I usually buy a Mothership for myself each year. I was ready to do it again this year because I really liked Moonlit Seduction. Sunlit Seduction, it seems, is not worth my money because I think I already have these Pat shades (or close enough). Even with the discount, I’ll skip. I’ll keep loving what I already have. I might, however, finally add Subversive to my collection. Not sure why I haven’t yet.

Without the baked shades, and with a color story that basic, I just can’t justify the price of this palette. Even on sale.

    Thank you so much for putting out this video. I don’t own any PM mothership palettes. I love neutrals and more basic color stories. During the Thanks30 PM “glitch” I had an opportunity to pick up Sunlit Seduction which I thought would be right up my alley based on my shade preferences. Something stopped me from purchasing this new palette and I am at peace with that decision. Instead I took advantage of the 2 motherships for $180 with 30% off which was a great deal imo. I purchased bronze seduction and divine rose 1. After watching videos on those 2 palettes and now this one, I know I will love what I bought way more. The special shades in the new palette are nothing in comparison to the special shades in the 2 I mentioned. Thank you again for your in depth, unbiased reviews.

    I always appreciate how eloquent your reviews are. You do give a little bit of a personal opinion BUT largely stick to facts.
    This mothership was a very polarizing release it seems. I'm not jumping at this. I am interested to see what the holiday looks like, as well as M12 (in quality as well as color story). I think this is a very pivotal point for the brand where a lot of die hards that were there from the beginning will start venturing out if nothing changes soon. Money is money at the end of the day, but I think this will be a massive turning point, especially for the OG audience.

    This is so wearable and foolproof and democratic. Luxury and quality with an everyday approachability. It does remind me of the best of Pat and the beautiful Byredo Remembrance palette. I don’t have Remembrance. I’ll buy this one but I want a better price. Thank you for going over Sunlit Seduction with us.

  • @Annielee825

    Thank you for this thorough review - when I saw the promo, I thought this palette was coming home with me. I held off buying Divine Rose I as I thought it was just a tad too cool-toned as well as Bronze Seduction, because it was too reddish. When the pictures for Sunlit Seduction came out, I hoped it might be the perfect love child of the two and rejoiced.
    But now that I'm seeing it in live action, it's a miss for me. It pulls a lot more coral-y orange than I thought it would. Looks gorgeous on your skin, but would look terrible on my pale olive teint. I'm also disappointed by the astrals. Not because they're not pretty, but because they lost the topper quality. Now they look like any other metallic with just some more pzazz. What I thought would be bright pink is a lot more red. The amethyst one is gorgeous - I'd buy that as a single in a heartbeat. But I can't warrant spending 100+ quid on just one colour I love. Fingers crossed for the holiday releases!

    I really, really miss the baked shades. I don’t think the new “special shades” layer the same way or do what they do. I know Moonlit Seduction had no baked shades either. I missed them there, but I found the color story more interesting. I do love the Pat matte and shimmer formulas too, so I’ll probably pick this up eventually. There will have to be at least a 40% discount for me to get it.
    Or I maybe I actually won’t because I feel like I could do these looks with so many of her motherships or quads (and I literally have them all). We’ll see.
    Because I’m such a brand fan, I was really hoping the palette would blow me away in videos despite being disappointing on reveal. Nope.
    I do want to try the primer, though!

    • @LisaF_
      @LisaF_ Před 11 měsíci +7

      @@Sparky7775 Mothership IX Huetopian Dream had three baked shades and one non baked “special shade”. That was the beginning. Then Mothership X Moonlit Seduction had no baked “special shades” at all. All of the other Motherships have all four “special shades” in the baked formulas. (Well, except Mothership IV Decadence which doesn’t have any other formula except shimmer/metallic). Nobody know exactly why the baked shades have not appeared in MS X or XI. Many suspect it’s because they are much more expensive to make and it’s a cost cutting measure. I don’t know if most people even care, but for me it’s a huge difference. To me the baked formulas are unique and transformative to looks in ways that the non baked special shades are not. Theses non baked shadows are pretty, but lots of brands make pretty sparkly shadows like them. They don’t do the things the baked formulas do.

      @@LisaF_ thank you so much for that explanation. It's been hard to really find any good info about it. I have six motherships and I agree, the baked shades are unique and special. Something no one else has had. It's a shame they're not in the palettes anymore and I'd love to know why.

    • @Imelda47
      @Imelda47 Před 11 měsíci +1

      If the baked shades are that much more expensive to produce, then from a business point of view PMG should be phasing out her older mothership palettes with the special shades instead of selling them with generous discounts. Also, if her older palettes were no longer available, customers might be more inclined to buy the new palettes despite the somewhat repetitive colour stories.
      I am intrigued as to how long her entire back catalogue of motherships will be available (for convenient prices at that!)

    Alicia, you are so right. I think the Trinity will not be replicated and we should realize and accept that fact. After the second divine rose, it is the same to me, just few nice shades that honestly, have better formula and more exciting colors in indie brands (Clionadh, Terra, Devinah). This palette is a no for me, it looks like 3 quads together, does not scream mothership to me. I will wait for the Christmas palette, that has the punch we all want.

    Excellent review, as always! ❤You saved me $128 so thank you.
    I have been living in the Byredo Remembrance palette this summer and my Isamya palette arrives tomorrow. I should be set until you show me something that is a must buy!
    FYI, I save the little sponge tip applicators that come with quad shadows and use those for the creamy “weird” textured shadows like the red textured shade you had to use your finger for. When my nails get long, I tend to get those shades under my nails and struggle to get them out.
    You’re the best!

    I received mine today and I have to say, I really love these shades. I haven't applied them on my eyes yet, so my feelings about that are TBD. What I find interesting about all these "pink" palettes is that not all of them have the same appeal across the board. I have LOVED Huetopian Dream since the day I got it and Moonlit Seduction is so sophisticated. I recently bought DRII and don't find myself enjoying it at all. I totally passed on DRI. So I think that there's a pink palette (or two) for everyone across these motherships. Although they're all pink, they're not one size fits all. I think this is also probably my first "basic B" palette, so it's going to be nice to have.

    I'm a pink lover. I own No. VII Divine Rose and I just ordered Sunlit Seduction. I'm 75 years old so my main objective is to brighten and soften my eye area. If I was 25, I could rock a dark, smokey eye and/or an array of bright colors, but at this stage of my life, I'm just trying to add a little subtle color back into my face. For my purposes, the emphasis on pinks is fantastic. I purchased both palettes during Black Friday sales, so I was able to get deep discounts.
