It’s crazy to believe, but 2022 is the 40th anniversary of Barry M. To celebrate their birthday, they’ve launched the Barry M 40th Birthday Eyeshadow Palette, alongside some special Nail Polishes.

Barry M 40th Birthday Eyeshadow Palette
The Barry M 40th Birthday Eyeshadow Palette is the biggest eyeshadow palette the brand has ever launched. It’s a cardboard palette, with no mirror, as they’re trying to focus on sustainable packaging going forward.
It does look quite cheap compared to the palettes you’d get from say Revolution for the same price, but it’s nice they’re thinking about sustainability.
The Barry M 40th Birthday Eyeshadow Palette has a pastel, colorful design to the outside, and is on sale for £18.
I don’t think the price is too bad for a drugstore palette, but there’s no mention on how small or how big the pans are.
Inside the palette, there are forty powder shadows, and they’re all individually named with names themed around the brand, their headquarters, and their history, which is a nice touch.
There’s also a good mix of finishes, with matte, satin, shimmer and metallic shades in almost every color you could imagine.
I have to be honest, I’ve not had the best luck with Barry M shadows, but the above photo looks really pretty, and the palette is available right now.
