Ideal palette for all skin tones. Some shimmer some matte. definitely can create a wicked Smokey eye look. Also a fabulous neutral look. For a night out shimmer me up. I don't use the blue because blue just looks horrid on me. I would recommend using a urban decay applicator. Since I love there eyeshadow too . I just borrowed it from there palette. I apply my shadow gently and layer lightly. I generally blend two or three colors that are similar in tones. To me eyeshadow can make you look older if not applied correctly.

I have Envy, Risque, and Wrath, and out of the three Wrath is my favorite. It is a coppery brown shimmer that is actually super-wearable on my fair skin. This formula is a little drier than the NYX round lipsticks, but it isn't as dry as a matte lipstick. The bullets look very metallic, but on the lips they're more of a semi-metallic finish. The colors are fun and funky and I am glad to have them in my stash since they're fun to play with or wear at night.

When I had a bit more money to spend on make up I bought this palette. I am VERY happy with it. You get a lot of shades for your money, I think the size is perfect, its not to large to be inconvenient. There are a few matte shades as well as shimmer. It's well pigmented which is great, and blends well. My criticism would be, depending on the brush, the power does end up on my nose. But that's me being over vigorous with my strokes. The lighter sades in the palette don't last as long on the eye as the darker ones. I don't use any other product on my eyes, and haven't felt the need to in a while. This is great for every day use.

this is honestly some of the best eye shadows that I've ever used. they blend seamlessly and the color payoff is gorgeous. I also love that the neutrals don't show up orange on my super pale skin. the jewel tones are beautiful as well! definitely my favorite palette that i own and the packaging is almost reminiscent of a kat von d design!

I used this over a neutral toned Maybelline color tattoo. After applying I took a walk for a little over 3 1/2 miles right before a 2 1/2 hr rehearsal. I'm mentioning this because after reading other reviews I expected it all to be gone by the time I got to rehearsal. I didn't really see any color fade until midnight. Pretty impressive. While some of the shades have some trouble with fallout I find if I just tap my brush once or twice first it isn't a problem. I've been able to do several smokey eyes in brown, taupe and blue as well as a very neutral/natural eye. What I was most excited about was how many great dupes they had for MAC. My first thoughts were, "Hey! That looks like All That Glitters, and Naked Lunch, and Contrast, and Amber Lights, and Omega, Cork, Malt, Vanilla, Black Tied, Satin Taupe, Carbon, Sketch, Plumage, Humid, Nylon..." You get the picture. I carry it around in my purse a lot and so far it holds together well and doesn't fall open. The mirror inside is also great since it's large enough to see your whole face.
