Nice metal box to keep them from getting crushed
The Blonde✓ Verified Purchase•April 28, 2024
Liked the metal box they came in, colors are good assortment and are very easy to use, not alot of dust since they are oil based, however that makes them take longer to dry. Need to protect the surface from transfer with tissue paper until dry. Also need to spray with fixative to keep from smuging.
Great in Blacklight!

Used these for a classroom project for the Art Show. I broke them in half so there was enough for the kids. This is the only medium I found where the blue and purple glow in Blacklight. Brilliant and bright colors!
Compared with lesser priced Artecho Neons
Susan M.✓ Verified Purchase•March 20, 2024
I purchased the Artecho set of Neon pastels as well, simply because of the ratings and super low $5.99 price, but after going back and forth among all the brands which made Fluorescent pastels, these Montmarte were my first choice. When both sets arrived I opened each and swatched them on 70 lb sketch paper.
- interestingly, while the outer packaging/boxes were different (MontMarte had thinner, end flap opening, while the Artecho had thicker quality bottom and top lid construction), their trays (texture and cutouts) as well as the clear plastic tray lids (cutouts and texture, ridges, etc) were exactly the same! I feel they're made by the same company!
- The colors in the sets were exactly the same.
- The texture was nearly the same"¦.micro-differences, where the MontMarte set felt slightly creamier"¦I think?
- In both sets the neon yellow was the highest density and quality.
- All the others had a general translucency which I expected anyway, they're Fluorescent, after all. (You're not going to get lightfastness or high quality, etc.). Even if you try to build up layers; I wanted these for mixed media, so that's ok for me.
- There appears to be very slightly more pigment load (ahem, if you could call it that in these types of pastels) in the Montmarte but for me not enough to pay more should I buy again.
-ever so slight better blendability between two colors with the MontMarte, but that is dependent on how similar in value the two are. Two rectangles of light and dark value placed end to end on paper in both brands leaves telltale marks of where each value originally was laid down when I tried to blend the middle between them. Not so much when the rectangles were two lights or two darks, and slightly better with MontMarte"¦slightly.
- For slightly more than half price I'd go with Artecho. Once I work more with both and do "˜real world work' with them I'll change or update this IF it needs to be.

These are pretty good.

These are great pastels. They are oily and blend pretty nicely. Are they professional? Probably not but will be great for beginners and advanced level alike. I am satisfied and would by them as a gift.
Creamy and fun to use.

Last year I was trying out different brands of oil pastels. Each one seems to work a little differently. I just got around to using these and boy are they fun! I can use cheap, rough paper and produce vibrant, easily blendable results for a great price. I wish I could get more white, but Ijust bought another pack that comes with 4. Love it!
