❤ Pigmentation
Unfortunately even with various eye primers and creme bases the shades Naked and Corrupt, I found, were incredibly difficult to work with. Both shades barely show up and are difficult to blend.
These are the only shades in the palette to lack significant pigmentation. The rest are heavily pigmented.
My personal favourites are Shy and the two silver shades Exposed and Reveal. They create a very beautiful smokey eye when combined on the eyes.
❤ Application
Every shade except Naked and Corrupt are beautifully smooth and blend wonderfully. The pearl finish shades especially apply like a dream.
The only factor that lets this palette down is the two poorly pigmented shades it contains. Because the rest are some absolutely beautiful, striking neutral colours.
❤ Lasting Power
As with ALL eye shadows (in my opinion anyway!) these perform MUCH better with an eye primer underneath. They wear for a long time and apply/stay vibrant provided you use a good primer and creme base underneath them.
❤ Final Thoughts
Overall a very nice cheap alternative to more expensive neutral palettes.
