Modern Renaissance Dupe - BYS Berries Comparison
19:24I've got to admit, I have been absolutely sleeping on new releases as of late. I took the 'ignorance is bliss' approach, where if I ignored new releases, I wouldn't feel the need to buy them. Well, it worked, but it meant I'm now, a few months later, a bit behind.
BYS Cosmetics has been around for as long as I can remember. I wore their shimmery purple eyeshadow palette maybe everyday in Year 10. They've forever been known for their affordability, but not necessarily the quality. It's become pretty evident they've put in a lot of effort as of late to change that. How? Released some decent quality, on trend products, at the same low price point. The Berries Eyeshadow Palette is just that. Quality wise, it seems nothing like their old formulas, in a good way. This palette is on so on trend, it mimics (or copies) the shade range of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette. (Imitation is the best form of flattery!?) It remains aligned with the BYS reputation of affordability, at only $12 from Kmart ($19.95 from BYS website). So, let's compare the pair.
Radiance (BYS) and Vermeer (ABH) are essentially identical in shade. Both are a shimmery champagne. However, the ABH formula is smoother and creamier than BYS, so the colour when applied to the lid has a different finish. The BYS shimmers I would compare similar to that of Morphe, shimmery, but a tad chunky, so you may need to dip back in with your finger or brush a few times to get a full colour payoff when applying to the lid. The ABH formula you only need one swipe.
Same can be said comparing the formula of both shimmery gold between both palettes, Glow (BYS) and Primavera (ABH). Glow (BYS) is a tad darker and warmer than Primavera (ABH) evident in the swatch below.
