The bold array of colors in the Make Up For Ever Flash Palette, $99, might look surprising, but with it, you can create an infinite rainbow of makeup shades to suit any look. Read on to find out how this 12-shade pro makeup set can transform your makeup toolbox.



The Colors
The Make Up For Ever Flash Palette is a set of 12 cream makeup colors that can be worn on the eyes, lips, face, and body. Two versions are available. The Original palette is a genuine rainbow of shades. It features standard makeup colors, like red, pink, and brown, plus more surprising hues, such as blue, aqua, green, and yellow. Black and white as well as two metallic shades round out the collection.



For those who want to add even more options to the mix or are hesitant to begin with the bright colors in the Original set, the Make Up For Ever Neutral Palette features a lineup of earthy tones, including browns, pinks, and peaches, plus one shade each of purple, gray, blue, and green.



The Palette
Like an artist uses her palette to mix basic paint colors into the perfect hue for any project, the Make Up For Ever Flash Palette puts creative color power in your hands. In fact, with this set, you can recreate just about any shade. Yes, there may be times when you want to use the colors as is, but you are by no means limited to them. Each individual cream blends and layers with the others in the set. Thanks to the range of shades included, you can create not only bright looks but also subdued, neutral ones. For example, with layers of white and brown cream applied to your lips, you will create a subtle nude look.

The Make Up Forever Flash Palette creams work for eyes, lips, face, and body. When you're traveling, you could toss just this palette and a setting powder in your bag and have all the makeup you need for your trip.

The Helpful Tips
The cream colors in the Make Up For Ever Flash Palette can be applied with a brush, a sponge, or your fingers. Although the colors can be mixed by layering them one on top of another, you may find it easier to mix them on a tray before applying them. This method is especially useful if you are applying the colors with a brush or a sponge.

For lasting results, it is critical to set the colors after applying them. You can use a setting spray or powder for this job.

To achieve even brighter colors, use the Make Up For Ever Flash Palette colors under a coordinating shade of eye shadow or other powder makeup. The powder layer will help set the cream to prevent creasing and will also create an incredibly vibrant look.
