The palette has 14 shades rather than the usual 10 found in Anastasia palettes and the prize has increased accordingly. The packaging of the Self-Made palette feels sturdier than previous iterations and canvas/ plastic feel makes it feel much more durable than cardboard alone. It was the shade that first convinced me to even give this palette a look. “Pink champagne” is described as “a rose gold with a titanium finish” and it looks absolutely stunning on my skin. I won’t detail every shade but my favourites are “pink champagne”, “self-made”, “hot & cold”, “deep purple”(almost an exact dupe for Urban Decay’s “urban” from the Electric palette), and “blush” (not to be confused with the “blush from the Tamanna palette). This palette only has 2 1/2 mattes so that may be something to think about if you prefer matte shades. I’m a sucker for shimmers and I always gravitate towards them over matte shadows. All the colours are so incredibly pigmented and buttery and there’s not a single dud in the palette.

The Self-Made palette is in my opinion the best palette released by ABH. This in addition to the general (and at times baffling) hype of most ABH products left me completely uninterested in the Self-Made palette… until I swatched it. I was so unimpressed with most of the shades (particularly the mattes) and it put me off ABH for a while.

Actually this technically my third Anastasia palette as I purchased the Artist Palette but quickly returned it after swatching. The Anastasia Beverly Hills “Self-Made” eyeshadow palette is my second Anastasia Beverly Hills (ABH) palette after last year’s Tamanna palette and I’m in love. From L-R Top: hot chocolate, spirit rock, Isla, sherbert, hot & cold, treasure, deep purple From L-R Bottom: buttery, blossom, blush, witchy, self-made, metallic plum, pink champagne
