Perhaps you have heard about Inglot Cosmetics?
This is a company that popped up on my radar a few months ago in a big way when I started seeing some amazing looking swatches from various bloggers and YouTube gurus. While they do have a HUGE (and I mean HUGE) range of nail polish colors, what really interested me most was their eyeshadow colors.
First off they have SO many and a wide variety of colors. And when I saw all the yellows and greens and purples and blues, I was done for.
I had been planning on taking a trip to Vegas this spring/summer for vacation yes, but also so I could visit their store because up until a couple weeks ago, they didn’t have an online store. But now they do, so YAHOOOOOO (or yikes)!
I was a bit overwhelmed at what to choose, but knew I wanted a variety of both bright and neutral colors and finishes.
The eye shadows come in five different finishes: matte, pearl, double sparkle, shine and AMC. They also have pigments as well.
Being the doofus that I am, I was so excited to pick out the eye shadows I wanted, I neglected to actually order the palettes I wanted! Never fear I happened to have some Zpalettes around, which are actually perfect for these because you can get 18 of them inside the large Zpalette (which is $20) rather than the Inglot square palettes which are either $20 for 10 squares or $25 for 20 squares. Since I would have needed 3 of the 10 square Inglot palettes for all the shadows I got, I wound up saving lots of money!
So today I’m going over the brighter more colorful shadows I picked up.
Shine 16, AMC 59, DS 477, Matte 474, DS 474, AMC 60
Shine 44, DS 504, Pearl 415, AMC 70, Pearl 413
Pearl 429, Matte 388, Matte 379, AMC 68, AMC 66,Pearl 441
AMC 60, Shine 16, AMC 59, DS 477, Matte 474, DS 474
First please note the first color is actually the last yellow in row one, I ran out of space on my hand!
As you can see these are all pretty opaque. All are vibrant and really soft. You barely need to pick up any color to get a lot of payoff.
The double shine (DS) and shine seem to be a bit more opaque than the regular shadows. The mattes were really great also, no patchiness at all!
Shine 44, DS 504, Pearl 415, AMC 70, Pearl 413
Again you can see we have great color payoffs with these, especially 504!
I noticed the two pearl finishes weren’t quite as saturated as some of the others, but still very nice and totally worth it.
Pearl 429, Matte 388, Matte 379, AMC 68
Number 429 had really great payoff even though it was a pearl, and the mattes are incredible also.
I found AMC 68 to be a little patchy, but still a pretty color.
AMC 66, Pearl 441
Ooooh I love both of these, but especially 441. I mean look at that incredible color! I barely touched my finger in this shadow and got this incredible purple almost duochrome color.
Overall:
Instantaneous love. These are every bit as good as I have been hearing about and I am so happy they have easy online ordering now. I can’t wait to show you the more neutral colors also, because they are every bit as fabulous as these!
Availability: Stores and online here (USA).
Pricing: These were the Freedom System (you pick whatever colors/finishes you want) and if you order 10 or more, they are $4.50 each (not including palette). If you order 3 they are $5.00 each and if you order 1 they are $7.00.
SOOOOOOO what do we think about Inglot so far?

Nice haul you have there. I just got my first Inglot order as well. I opted for some more neutral shades but these are stunning. I suck at working with intense color so I will leave it to you. Great shadows.
I’d love to see some of these on you, just to see how they work. I wouldn’t know what to do with yellow shadow. I’m going to cruise over to their website and make my synasthete brain happy.
I really love using yellow shadow to do a gradient effect with green shadows for a more subtle look. But it would be cool to see a wild-and-crazy yellow-and-black eye look! (Wouldn’t have the guts to wear it in public though…hehe)
I bought 2 palettes in more neutral tones and plan to get one in more vibrant colors so your swatches came just in time. 😀
But I must admit – the main draw for me are their Freedom palettes themselves. I just love to play with them. 😀

Oh wow Kelly, these look fab! A lot of times it is your swatches that makes my final decision whether I buy something or not. I find that they are the most accurate for how things look and work on me. Now I just need to save up some money and make a massive Inlglott order!
I got a chance to sneak into the Newport Beach Inglot store when I was going to a wedding in Redondo Beach about a month and a half ago (what? you wouldn’t go half an hour out of your way for a quickie makeup run? 😉 ). I didn’t have a lot of time, unfortunately, to play with the Freedom stuff, but still managed to drop over $100 in less than 15 minutes. Love all of the things I picked up and these swatches (along with the neutral shadows you got too, saw the pic you teased us with on Twitter) will help me choose which colors/finishes to grab up! Glad you’re loving your choices and 441 is phenomenal!
I’d have made an order when the site first went live, but I can’t for the life of me narrow down my selection!! There are so many beautiful choices!
Matte 379 is just the color I’m looking for!
I like the pigmentation on these..
;****
Does any one know what the heck “AMC” stands for?

Never heard of them. They are pretty. Do they wear well? I always have problems with creasing even if I use eyeshadow base.
Thanks for the review – we’re going to be in Las Vegas in early May, and this is EXACTLY the kind of store I like to track down and shop at while we’re there! (What’s the point of shopping at the same stores we have here?!?)
That’s what I call eye candy 😉
I love Inglot but definitely prefer their pearl, matte and AMC shine finishes. I sometimes find DS a little too sparkly and AMC a little hard to blend but some colors (like DS495, AMC 51&59 etc) are worth the extra trouble. At least DS shades aren’t glitterboms like some Urban Decay ones.
I can’t to wait take a trip to Inglot. These swatches are great! I added most of these colors to my list. I didn’t buy any shadows at The Makeup Show 🙁
I had to triple take DS 504 on their website, doesn’t look as gorgeous/correct as your swatch. I neeed that color!
What does AMC stand for?
see Faerie’s reply to Eleanor above
Well, drat, I’m too suggestible–I meant to ask what DS stands for, and instead just parroted someone else’s question. *blush*
The prices are great for a brand I thought was high-end. Not that they are NOT, but I can see me owning some of these awesome gems. I’m looking forward to some of the looks you will create with them.

Wow, these colors are all so gorgeous, especially Shine 44 and DS 504.
Silva´s last post…China Glaze Ruby Pumps
These colors are so pretty! I went and looked at the website and have no idea how you were able to pick! There are so many! Cant wait to see the neutrals you picked out!
I just got my palette yesterday and I am totally and completely in love. I got half vibrant shades and half matte neutrals. Screw the Naked palette, the neutrals from Inglot are made of dreams and miracles. 😀
Did you try any of the eyeliners? I got the matte AMC gel liner and it is insane. The lip paint is gorge too. I’ve become such a fangirl.
im literally drooling over 504 i need to get some of these colors
These are really fantastic looking. I love the greens but the purples are equally gorgeous. Such a reasonable price for such saturated shadows. I’d love to see some makeup looks with these.
When you add the palette to your cart with eyeshadows in it, it discounts the price to $5, I guess they aren’t $20 or $25 unless you buy it alone.
Hi Crystal,
Correct.
Thanks Kelly! Those will be beautiful on you. Looking forward to seeing Part II. I had not heard of this brand before, but based on your swatches and review, I may just have to give them a try. Really appreciate all the time and effort that goes into these posts… thanks again.
Well said, Linda. I agree! Thank you Kelly, these are awesome and invaluable!
I third this! Awesome posts full of awesomeness. Thanks!
Such pretty colors!
Pearl 441 looks a bit like Ecstasy from Urban Decay : )

I almost regret not getting anything from the Inglot store in Doha when I lived in Qatar, but I tend to get very overwhelmed when faced with all these choices, and I end up leaving the place without anything. (Not even the flakie polishes!!!)
Solveig´s last post…BB Couture Impact Driver
I’m am both so happy you posted about Inglot, and absolutely gutted. Why happy? I guess that’s pretty obvious: Those colors are aMAZINGly fun!
But why gutted? Well, “gutted” because a few years ago there appeared an Inglot store in a local mall, but it was only there for what seems a very short time. I remember I saw it, browsed briefly, and decided to come back with more time (and $). But alas! When I returned they had closed up shop! Sometime later a Sephora popped up in that same mall, which is awesome, but I often wonder what *could* have been if I had snatched up every eyeshadow (and polish) I drooled over that fateful evening.
And now I know. Shine 44, DS 504, Matte 388…you will one day be mine!

Wait, there is a part two? *dies from inevitable color overload* I can’t wait!
Gosh I don’t need anymore eyeshadows but these have peaked my interest!
Holy cow talk about great saturation!! I suddenly need these ASAP! 😉

Crikey- SEVERE COLOR LUST!
Can’t wait for round 2…
I so want to go out to the store in Newport Beach, but considering I’d spend $30 in gas, I could get more by shopping online!
I ended up biting the bullet and heading out there anyway (made a day of it) and wish I’d shopped online instead – the store maybe carried 100 of their colors? Still a very good amount to be sure, but many of the colors I wanted they didn’t have there! You’re definitely better sticking to the website!
I’m lucky to have Inglot shop in the mall close to where I live and I love their stuff. Good to see a Polish brand getting so successful in the world 🙂 Love your blog, kisses from Poland!
I’ve never heard of this company but I browsed their website. I can say I’m not all that impressed with their nail line but I am super impressed with all the products for eyes, especially the different pigments and eyeliners! I’ve never seen such a wide range of eyeliner types with so many different colors to choose from! I’m also really interested in their lip products.
I have a few and I absolutely love them. My latest ones are Pearl and the pigmentation is fabulous on them.
Do you know what AMC stands for or do you have a description for the texture you noticed in them?
Your haul is quite amazing.
I have had an Inglot shop nearby for some two years now. There actually was also another one across the street, a shopping center counter, but they closed it down some time ago (Inglot seems to do this a lot). I have bought a few items, and once I even went to Ingot in UK, but I’m not warmed up to them. A friend of mine who has many Inglot e/s says that they are not easy to blend.
