3 Looks Using Marc Jacobs Glambition Palette
I received this palette complimentary for review purposes from Influenster. #TheDressedEye #contest
We’re going to get right to the point real quick here: the Marc Jacobs Glambition palette is a MUST buy. I knew almost immediately when I used these on my eyes that this palette was going to be in my Best of 2017 and I hope you’ll agree with me once you see the looks I was able to create and once I share a little bit about why this (somewhat basic) palette needs to be *at least* swatched, if not absolutely purchased next time you’re wandering Sephora.
Marc Jacobs Glambition Palette
part of the new Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Collection
When I got this palette from Influenster, I admit I had a small snoozefest when I saw the basic, neutral shades in the Glambition palette ($49). But knowing what I know about how beautiful Marc Jacobs eyeshadows are from previous experience, I reserved my opinion until I created a couple of looks and then fell in love.
The Eye-Conic collection has six brand-new palettes each featuring seven shades in four different (new) finishes: velvet, satin, silk, lamé (in order of most matte to most metallic). The pigmentation is rich and the formula is long-wearing.
Glambition is the most neutral of the six palettes, featuring your basic highlight and transition shades, through deep brown and black for definition. It includes a perfect mix of warm and cool tones to take your look from day-to-night. The two quintessential lamé shades in gold and champagne pink will flatter all skin tones. I also think this palette is ideal for bridal looks/special occasions.
Tried the new Undercover Coconut Eyeshadow Primer
The palette came with a sample of the Coconut Eyeshadow Primer and as you can see from the photos, I ended up buying the full size because I found it to be an incredible primer – not just for the MJ palette, but all of the shadows I own. It’s clear, has a similar consistency to the NARS Smudgeproof (Holy Grail) primer, but I think this one enhances eyeshadow shades just a smidge better.

Overall Thoughts
I’m quickly learning Marc Jacobs is a brand I am rarely disappointed by and should probably really take a deeper look at his entire makeup line. This Glambition palette is a dream. It’s the PERFECT neutral palette. I love that it has a satin highlight shade, a dark brown and a black, 2 transition shades both in warm and cool tones, plus two classic shimmery shades. It blends like a dream, never gets muddy and lasts on the lids both with and without primer (although with primer, it’s more vibrant and definitely longer lasting on oilier lids).
I haven’t stopped reaching for Glambition since I got it over a month ago. This is the neutral palette we’ve all been waiting for. All of the shades in this Glambition palette will get love. I clearly can’t stop gushing about this one. Get yourself to Sephora because it’s a must try (but you may be tempted to buy all six)!

All three of these looks are absolutely gorgeous! I really like the warm and smokey look and think it would look really good for the fall months ahead!
Thanks gorgeous! Same here. Every time I’ve worn that look in the last month, people say it looks so pretty. I really want to get the Khaki/Green and the Fiery/orangey one (or at least swoon at it in stores lol).
You are sooo good at makeup! I wish I could create such pretty looks out of a palette like this! I think the second one is my favourite but they’re all so pretty!

You are very kind. Thank you! It’s definitely been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. But a palette as flawless as this one makes it really easy 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
