5 Looks Using Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette
*Affiliate links used. See full disclaimer here.
Hello, readers. If you don’t know by now, I am a makeup addict. My weakness is eye makeup – shadows, liners, mascaras, creams, sparkles, metallics, mattes… give me all of the eye makeup. So when I saw the new Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette first launch, I hesitated. Does an eye makeup junkie truly need another palette? Friends, I did inventory on my stash, and girlfranddd has 140+ eyeshadows. But I did it. I caved and got this freakin palette and it’s incredible. I haven’t even hit pan on my original UD Naked palette (which I adore), but Modern Renaissance? That baby has hit pan on multiple shades after just a few months of use. I can’t put it down! So here’s five very different Modern Renaissance brown eyes looks to try out (and yes, they will work just the same on blue, green or hazel eyes… this palette is simply a must-have for everyone)…
For all of these looks, unless noted, these were the products used:
- Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette
- Foundation (I use shade Tan Honey)
- Concealer (I use shade Medium 3W)
- Powder (I use shade 4)
- Blush (I use shade Goulue)
- Bronzer
- Brows (this powder in Taupe, this setting gel, in shade 1)
- Highlighter (I use shade Champagne Pop)
- Mascara (budget buy!)

Have you picked up the Modern Renaissance palette – what do you think of it? Which of these looks was your favorite? I think I really am loving the first look with the dark lip, but I also love the pink lip in the second! If you are looking for a holiday gift, I think the Modern Renaissance palette is perfect for anyone of any eye color.

I’m obsessed with all these looks. I have yet to purchase the palette and I need to as well as the Mario palette.
Thanks, girlie! I think the Modern Ren. palette is easier to come up with different looks, TBH, but both are stunning. Mario leans a little LESS warm and better for more dramatic/darker looks (which are fun, too).
Gurrrlllfranddddd—-OMG! I can’t believe you did five looks! They look stunning on you! My favorite is the pink haze! Can’t believe I’m thinking of buying more make-up now. Tarte foundation looks flawless btw! xoxo
LOL I really should have broken them up day-by-day, but…. lesson learned! Thanks! Same here… but I also love the dark, Nori lipstick (which is rare for me, haha).
These looks are sooooo prettyyy!!! I just got an email that ABH is bringing this back, and this post confirms that I need it!
YES! I just heard it’s back in stock on their website… not sure about in Ultas or Sephoras yet, but you’d LOVE it. So great for brown eyes. Easy to wear, too, because many of the shades are matte.
OH for sure you would LOVE this palette! So good for brown eyes 🙂
OMG yes! Finally some ABH Modern Renaissance looks that I can wear and not look like an instagram clown. I just wanted to experiment with this palette for some fun and versatile looks to wear to work and on a nice date. Thank you, seriously! Every other youtube tutorial I’ve watched or pinterest post that I’ve seen is honestly just too much in my opinion. I don’t need to look like I’m going to the club everyday lol.
PS: bite beauty lipsticks are basically my holy grail lip products
YES! This is exactly why I started my blog. I LOVE the crazy dramatic looks I see on InstaGLAM, but I know even my makeup-loving self isn’t going to be doing that daily – let alone my friends/family who have professional jobs, school, raising kids or just ya know, trying to live life lol. It may not be all photoshopped up but this is how the product ACTUALLY looks when applied FOR REAL LIFE lol. Glad you found some inspiration and thanks for your kind words <3 Have fun playing!
what are the lipstick brands that you used? you just have the colors mentioned buy I don’t see the brand
You may be reading this on bloglovin where it doesn’t link everything. I linked all the lipsticks if you read on brighterdarling.com directly. All are by Bite Beauty with the exception of the last look – Angel is by MAC. 🙂
