“I adore this palette. It's a really fun and affordable way to get colour into your collection, however I think it's important that you have the right expectations.
The mattes in here are to die for. They're super pigmented, blendable, and REALLY long-wearing. I did a bright look with some of the pinks and yellows and they were just as bright after a 10 hour shift at work followed by a 1 hour workout. It was incredible.
The shimmers, however, leave a lot to be desired. There are a couple that are ok, but most of them are a very lacklustre satin finish that really don't add much at all. I knew this going in from other reviews, which is why I'm not really disappointed by it. The only reason I got this palette instead of the fully matte palette is that I find I need shimmers to complete a look a lot of the time, and even though these are very average, it's better than nothing.
One of my favourite ways to use these is to pick whatever matte colour I'm feeling, use a small angled brush and stamp it on as a graphic liner. It's gorgeous and long-wearing and I always get lots of compliments on these looks. It's a really great palette to have a lot of fun with.”
