Huda Beauty Neon Pink Neon Obsessions Palette Review & Swatches

Neon Pink

Huda Beauty Neon Pink Neon Obsessions Palette lives up to its name–it has a whole lotta pink in it! The palette has a mix of warmer and cooler pinks from mid-tone to fuchsia, along with two pink-lavender shades that add a nice pop of shimmer and brightness to the palette. The mattes were very nice and easy to work with; they were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing, though some stained quite a bit. The shimmers were good, but I find the formula gets firmer over time for a few, which makes a heavier hand necessary to use them.

Huda Beauty Neon Pink #1 Pressed Pigment

Neon Pink #1

Neon Pink #1 is a bright, medium pink with warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft, thin but not too dry or too powdery, so while it didn’t have the substance that I find often indicates a particularly good matte eyeshadow, it ended up working well on my lid. It had opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and didn’t sheer out too readily. The color stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Huda Beauty Neon Pink #2 Pressed Pigment

Neon Pink #2

Neon Pink #2 is a pale pink with cool undertones and a sparkling finish. It had good color coverage, though the texture was slightly thicker, lightly creamy, but it felt firmer over time (as it became more compacted) so I found it wasn’t as easy to use on the third use. By the third use, it needed a heavier handed approach and a synthetic brush or to be used with a wet brush/fingertip for maximum coverage. The product blended out well on my lid and still retained its high-shine finish, and as I buffed the eyeshadow on my skin, it smoothed out nicely. This shade lasted well for eight hours on me before creasing faintly.

Huda Beauty Neon Pink #3 Pressed Pigment

Neon Pink #3

Neon Pink #3 is a medium-dark pink with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color payoff that applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even lay down of color that blended out easily along the edges. The consistency was soft, a touch drier, but it wasn’t too powdery nor too firmly pressed in the pan. The color wore well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Huda Beauty Neon Pink #4 Pressed Pigment

Neon Pink #4

Neon Pink #4 is a bright, medium-dark fuchsia pink with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. It was intensely pigmented with a soft, velvety consistency that wasn’t powdery and had enough substance to retain all of its vibrancy and pigmentation even over bare skin. It stayed on beautifully for nine hours, but it did leave significant staining behind that was still just-visible after I cleansed again in the morning.

Huda Beauty Neon Pink #5 Pressed Pigment

Neon Pink #5

Neon Pink #5 is a bright, pinky-lavender with warm undertones and a cooler, blue-to-violet shifting shimmer. The texture was soft, more loosely pressed, and had a light creaminess to it that was more present when it was applied to my lid. The eyeshadow went on evenly and blended out easily along the edges. It lasted well for eight and a half hours on me before creasing a touch.

Huda Beauty Neon Pink #6 Pressed Pigment

Neon Pink #6

Neon Pink #6 is a medium-dark magenta with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage less than a layer more on top. The texture was soft, slightly powdery in the pan, but it applied evenly and didn’t suffer from fallout. I had no trouble blending out the edges and was able to get good vibrancy over bare skin. This shade wore nicely for nine hours before fading, though it stained a fair amount and there was a touch present even after my morning cleanse.

Huda Beauty Neon Pink #7 Pressed Pigment

Neon Pink #7

Neon Pink #7 is a light-medium lavender with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage that was buildable, but it was one of the few shades in the palette that would benefit greatly by a primer underneath it. The texture was soft, silky, and blendable but was somewhat powdery. It stayed on well for eight hours before showing signs of fading.

Huda Beauty Neon Pink #8 Pressed Pigment

Neon Pink #8

Neon Pink #8 is a soft, pink-lavender with cooler, blue-to-pink shifting sparkle. The texture was lightly creamy, dense and thicker in the pan, and it did get a bit firmer over time but still seemed easy to use after several uses without having to significantly adjust my technique/tools. It had opaque color payoff that adhered evenly to bare skin but was best pressed and patted onto the lid to avoid fallout. It lasted well for eight hours on me before I saw faint creasing.

Huda Beauty Neon Pink #9 Pressed Pigment

Neon Pink #9

Neon Pink #9 is a bright fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a sparkling finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and blended out well on my lid. The consistency was a bit firmer in the pan, but I didn’t have to use a wet brush to get even/rich coverage. I would recommend using it with fingertips or a wet brush to get more of the shimmer to come through, though. On me, it stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably, and it left a faint stain behind.
