Lorac Unzipped Palette helps anyone with sensitivity to makeup feel more at ease with its fragrance-free and gluten-free formula. These rich, shimmer and matte shades also come with a primer for longer lasting wear.
Amazon
Promising review: “The colors are highly pigmented, smooth and buttery to apply. They last all day when used with an eyeshadow primer. These colors are heavenly and the color combinations are endless. My absolute favorite is using Unlimited on the inner half of the lid, Unleashed on the outer half… a touch of Unedited (or Unafraid) to darken just the outer corner, & Unlocked on the inner corner/tear duct. Unlocked is the most beautiful pale shimmery lemon… and Undressed under the brow smooths it all out and pulls everything together.” —catherine

It does not crease even without a primer. I like this line because it does not test on animals.” —Zoey
