What Makes the Trophy Wife Palette Different?
- Rearrangeable pans: According to Adept, the shades can be popped out and rearranged. The back of the palette has push-out holes.
- One-of-a-kind cases: The case is marbled in peach, caramel, brown and white, with "ADEPT COSMETICS" embossed on the lid. The brand says the marbling is handcrafted, so no two palettes look the same.
- A single theme across all 15 names: Every shade name, from Trust Fund to Prenup, refers to money or luxury, in line with the Trophy Wife title.
Formula and Packaging
- Formula: According to Adept's ingredient list, the shadows are free from talc, sunflower oil and parabens. They use two formula bases. The first covers Diamond Pearl, Summer House, Silk Peach, Champagne Wishes, Private Jet, Black Card, Prenup and Inheritance. The second covers the other seven shades. Key ingredients include mica, silica, synthetic fluorphlogopite, calcium aluminum borosilicate, dimethicone and candelilla wax. The brand gives a shelf life of about one year after opening.
- Packaging: Adept says the case is made of over 35% recycled or upcycled plastic, and the mirror protector is 100% upcycled. The brand notes that a UV-coat smell may be noticeable on opening and fades over time. According to Adept, the palette is made in a 100% solar-powered lab in Shanghai with SA 8000, ISO 9001, ISO 22716 and GMP certification.
Adept advises applying the high-sparkle shimmers with your fingers rather than a brush. The brand recommends a good eye primer underneath. It notes that some fallout and creasing will happen with these shimmers, depending on skin type.
