One of my New Year's resolutions was to be more adventurous with my makeup. By being more adventurous, I mean using colors outside of the typical neutrals that I always use and doing different techniques. Once I decided this, I had to have the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette.

This palette has been out for a while now, and the colors in it are beautiful. They are a good range of mattes and three shimmer colors, and there are both neutral and bold colors. As with any other Anastasia palette, the pigmentation of the shades are incredible, and they blend very easily with each other. I picked mine up from Ulta for $42. You can find the palette here. With my love for pink, I am actually quite surprised I didn't pick this palette up earlier. My favorite shades in the palette currently are Burnt Orange, which makes a beautiful transition shade, Vermeer, which is a pretty shimmery pink shade, and Venetian Red which is a different but beautiful way to deepen up a look.

Below I added some pictures of a look I created using this palette as well as a tutorial on how to achieve this look. I hope you enjoy!

What are your thoughts on this palette?
