How do I know if a palette will be chalky or have fallout?
Reviewer consensus
Independent swatch reviews are the best signal. Look for reviewers who actually swatch shades on bare skin and report whether mattes need multiple layers or whether shimmers throw glitter. Amazon star averages alone don't capture this, several highly-rated palettes get flagged for chalky lighter mattes once you read past the headline rating.
