Eye Palette Sunrise and Moonrise BLC x Althea

Hi loves!

When Althea Korea first released their makeup collection, I was so thrilled to share them with you because of how great they are. But out of all the items I shared, I think the eyeshadow palette became my favorite instantly.

So for today's post, I'll share swatches and the looks I made using the...


Here's a short snippet from the website:

Add some celestial magic into your beauty routine with Althea's very first eye shadow palette: Sunrise & Moonrise! Made in collaboration with Bunga Citra Lestari, these 8 shades will take you from gorgeous daytime to sultry night time, giving you the effortlessly glamorous feminine style Bunga is known for. In shimmers, mattes and glitters, these pigmented shadows glide easily onto the skin and blend out like a dream, allowing you to create an array of looks suitable for any occasion. 

Bunga Citra Lestari is an Indonesian singer and actress that have graced the screens of many across South East Asia. Affectionately known to her fans as BCL, she’s also a beauty and fashion icon that exudes style, beauty and femininity.


The packaging is sleek and simple. It's cased in a black plastic compact. The design is also simple with just the metallic fonts in hot pink. I really appreciate this because it is travel-friendly and doesn't use too much space in my makeup case. It also has a mirror large enough for me to use when I apply makeup during travels... that is if there's no larger mirror available.

It does not come with any applicator which is fine because I have my own set of makeup brushes. I don't usually use the applicators that come in palettes anyway unless they are really good.


When you open the palette, you can see the beautiful shades available. There is one matte shade, two chunky glittery shades, and the rest are shimmery ones.


You can clearly see which ones are the "sunrise" and which are the shades for "moonrise." But what's great is that you can mix them together and create different looks depending on your mood.


When I first saw this palette, I squeaaalllleed with glee! I LOVE CHUNKY POWDER EYESHADOWS! Plus, the colors are the usual shades I go for when I use eyeshadows. It's like a palette designed for me... except it's designed by someone else. Haha! I love the taste of BLC. Her selection is absolutely awesome!

Here's the swatches. I arranged them top to bottom, left to right:

And now here are the looks I managed to create:

The Sunrise look:



I added a gold eyeliner using the Althea Spotlight Eye Glitter in Gold Light to add more sparkles.

And here's my Moonlight look:


I added the Althea Spotlight Eye Glitter in Pink Light to add a mystical effect.

Finally, here's a combo look I made using various shades from the palette:



I love how buttery smooth the eyeshadows are. They aren't powdery and chalky. Paired with a good eyeshadow primer, this baby can last a whole day on my oily lids. They feel lightweight and very pigmented. I'm just in love with this palette! Seriously, I don't have anything bad to say about this. It's one of my favorite things in my makeup collection right now. 

And that's all I can say about the Eye Palette Sunrise and Moonrise BLC x Althea. Let me know what you think about it on the comments section below!
