Norvina Vol. 3

Anastasia Norvina Vol 3 Pro Pigment PaletteAnastasia Norvina Vol 3 Pro Pigment Palette ($60.00 for 1.575 oz.) is a new, limited edition 25-pan palette that features an array of hues from yellow to plum to emerald green paired with matte and shimmer finishes.

I don’t want to spend too much energy rehashing what I said previously in my Vol. 2 review, so I’ll merely summarize for convenience here but encourage interested parties to read that review first for a more detailed breakdown of issues I had with the formulas used in these palettes.

I encountered similar issues with the matte formula used in the palette as I did previously: it was drier, often quite powdery and prone to sheering out (or having fallout), and several shades did not layer on top of or blend well with other shades as they would erase or create bald patches where color used to be. A lot of the vibrancy seen in the pan and when initially applied doesn’t continue after a few minutes, even over primer (I used Smashbox 24HR to try with many shades after ruling out Anastasia’s own primer, which is terrible–very drying and emphasizes my skin texture like crazy before I even put anything on it!).

The shimmers were easier to work with in this palette, but they were still under-performing compared to the brand’s shimmers in the past, including their recent 14-pan palettes released within the last few months. Vol. 3 suffers the same issues as Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 where there are more overlapping shades than you’d think would exist, largely because they don’t retain their true-to-pan color in practice, so they end up losing the nuances in depth or undertone once applied.

There are some real duds in the palette, but there were eight (of 25) shades that performed at 87%+ (B+ or better), and several of the D/F-rated shades still had decent to good pigmentation and wear times, so those two areas lifted the entire palette’s average out of the realm of a real F rating. It’s one of those instances where the overall rating doesn’t feel like it reflects the emotional rating of the palette (which had me feeling like my dog applied my eyeshadow based on some of the terrifying results I had).

If you’re someone who uses a tackier primer, something more opaque, or possibly something hydrating, it might be better. I don’t find a lot of luck using richer, pigmented matte shades over those types of primers (you get the pigmentation but blending becomes a challenge!) so it didn’t lift the palette out of the depths of despair for me personally.

A1 (Norvina Vol. 3)

A1 (Norvina Vol. 3) is a bright, highlighter yellow that leans slightly green paired with a matte finish. In the pan, the green tint is more noticeable, but applied and blended out, it’s a deeper yellow with a bit of a dirtier vibe to it. Applied, blended out, and left to sit on skin for a few minutes, it looks darker and yellower as it lost its vibrancy in that short period of time.

The texture was moderately powdery, drier, and difficult to apply over bare skin or thin primer–it might work decently over a heavier, creamier (read: tackier) primer. I could use it on my brow bone, where my skin is smoother, but on my inner lid/tearduct, it was patchy and emphasized lid lines/texture significantly. It wore well for eight hours and left a stain behind.

A2 (Norvina Vol. 3) is a rich, medium-dark orange with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, lightly powdery texture, but it was finely-milled and applied evenly to bare skin. I didn’t have issues blending this shade out, which has been consistent with my experience with the matte formula in the Norvina pigment palettes; orange/reds seem to be better than most other types of colors. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.

A3 (Norvina Vol. 3) is a muted, medium orange with warm, yellow-brown undertones and a matte finish. It was moderately powdery, which resulted in some fallout during application and the product sheering out a bit when blended out, but I was able to build it back up to full coverage. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, at least initially. It lasted for eight hours on me before I noticed signs of fading.

A4 (Norvina Vol. 3) is a bright, lime green with subtle, warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. There were barely-there shimmers throughout, but it appeared matte to my eye. It had good pigmentation, but it was hard to retain the opacity and vibrancy, as the texture was so powdery that it sheered out considerably in practice. I encountered issues applying this shade without it erasing others near it or creating bald patches where color used to be. It wore decently for eight hours and left a yellowish stain behind.

A5 (Norvina Vol. 3) is a neon orange-red with warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was smoother, more finely-milled than other shades in the palette with less powderiness, though it had a dryness present at the touch. The color payoff was opaque in a single layer, and it applied well without issues blending it out or layering it with other shades.

B1 (Norvina Vol. 3) is a medium-dark, bluish-aqua with cool undertones and a metallic finish. The texture was smooth, dense, and more firmly-packed into the pan, which resulted in product that became harder to use after a few uses (the powder gets crammed in further) and worked better with fingertips or a dampened brush for smoother, more even application. It had good color payoff that lasted for eight hours on me.

B2 (Norvina Vol. 3) is a medium green with subtle, cool undertones and micro-sparkles over a matte finish. It had good pigmentation in a single layer, which was sort of buildable, but the issue I had was the powdery texture made it prone to sheering out so I’d have to build it up from medium (after applying and blending) to get to the original, more semi-opaque level of coverage. It showed signs of fading after eight hours of wear.

It was incredibly powdery, which made it prone to sheering out and having fallout, but it also erased shades near to it and was awful for layering (completely lifted away color). It was patchy when blended out, so one would need to cheat the edges with a better-performing shade. The color stayed on decently for seven and a half hours before I noticed fading.

The base color, which reads warmer and yellower–more like a chartreuse than a lime green–is really what you end up seeing. The product applied unevenly, emphasized skin texture, and lifted up other shades near to it or if it was layered on top of other shades.
