FAQ
When does it launch?
The collection launches on June 18th at 9 AM PDT. This is not a pre-order. The palettes will be ready to ship.
Is it a limited edition? Will it sell out?
It is permanent–they will restock it as long as it sells well. The number of palettes ordered–that’s the packaging!–is more than the brand has had at launch for any previous launch. I know every collaborator says as much, but I would be genuinely floored if the palettes sold out.
Will your discount apply?
Yes. Readers can use code TEMPTALIA15 for an additional 15% off individual palettes (making them $34 each) or the bundle of three (making it $85).
Can I mix and match palettes in the trio?
Yes, Sydney Grace confirmed that you could choose the Light version of one palette and the Deep understanding of another for the trio.
Should I get Light or Deep?
For those with lighter skin tones and who prefer something closer to stand-alone, the Light versions will likely be easier to use in that fashion. The Deep versions are slightly more unique for those with a slew of transition and blending shades and are happy to pull them out alongside a palette.
Light versions were tested on dark skin for feedback, even though they were developed for fair skin tones. Here is that feedback:
- Quintessence: Parallax (Light) is too light for dark skin and will leave a white cast. Reaching Zenith (Light) may work on deep skin tones if one likes cooler tones; it is on the “bubble,” so to speak.
- On the Horizon: October Odyssey (Light) works on dark skin tones (one of the tester’s favorites!). Infinite Echoes (Light) is cool-toned and can look a bit gray/ashy.
- Radiant Reflection: Unstoppable Love (Light) will work on dark skin tones. Dearest Constant (Light) may work as a blending shade on dark skin.
Will shades in the palette be available as singles?
There are no plans to offer them as singles. The only single is Dear Reader, which is unavailable in the palettes. The only single is Dear Reader, which is unavailable in the palettes. I imagine if the launch is successful, it is something I could undoubtedly inquire about.
Where do I purchase your palettes?
Sydney Grace is the sole distributor.
What will it cost to ship?
For US addresses, they ship flat rates at $4.
For non-US addresses, shipping will range from $27 to $32 for up to three palettes; the total weight of three palettes is under the next pricing tier, but this is level one for shipping packages internationally. All boxes ship USPS; international customers can request an alternative carrier, but the cost will likely be higher. Sydney Grace ships to most countries (excluding China due to animal testing requirements and any COVID-19-restricted countries). The cost of shipping increases as more products are added, and you can estimate the shipping cost before checking out (for those looking to make a larger order).
Will you have swatches on other skin tones?
Yes, palettes are being sent to official swatches for the launch today or tomorrow (June 7th/8th). As the collaborator, I received mine first (shipped Thursday, June 3rd!), so I recruited my husband (who is lighter and pinker) and my sister (who is darker and very olive) while I was swatching on me. Still, we will have swatches on the following skin tones at launch:
- Very light (Fenty 110) (my husband)
- Light (Fenty 180) (me)
- Medium (Fenty 230) (coming soon, will be by Sabrina @ The Beauty Look Book)
- Medium-Dark (Fenty 345) (my sister)
- Dark (Fenty 430) (coming soon, will be by Day @ Legally Black Beauty, who also tested shades for suitability on deeper skin tones during development!)
