I own 2 of these palettes so that has to be saying something haha. While these are good palettes for the price they aren't great.
The shades are a mix between mattes for base and crease and sheers for ontop.
Unfortunately not the best pigmented eyeshadows :( you do need to keep going over and over the same area to build the colour up which sometimes if you don't prime the eye you will find it dulls and wears off or the colour kind of shifts around from where you've put it.
I think these would be great for a teenager that is experimenting with makeup or just starting out to get a feel of what they can do, and with so many colours in one palette there are endless options of looks too create.
I like these palettes for the base shade occasionally I'll use the sheer shades to add a pop of shimmer to my look. They are blendable but not as easy to blend as high end eyeshadows, you have to work a little harder with these shades.
My friend sent me the Nudes palette and I really do love it! Mostly filled with shimmer shades but such a good variety. Does have a few matte shades - a couple that make great crease colours.
Not the greatest pigmentation but pretty sweet for the price.
I usually use my Too Faced natural mattes palette and then use a shade or two from this one to add a pop of shimmer on top which I find works really well!
Would be a nice palette for beginners but nice to add to the collection for anyone!
Tips: Use a matte shade as a base and blend well - even if it takes a little longer than usual!
