Some girls feel naked without a coat of lip gloss, but we refuse to step outside without wearing a touch of eye makeup. Happily, this gorgeous shadow palette is there for us whenever we need it. With twelve shades ranging from a shimmery taupe to a midnight black, it makes it easy to experiment with an infinite spectrum of looks.
This palette is pretty perfect for creating an essentially matte (or shimmery) nude look for day time. Plus, you can always darken it up for a look more suitable for nighttime. I am pleased with my order & cannot wait to try out more of the items/products from The Balm :) Especially more of the "raved about" makeup that is frequently featured on youtube.
4I really love the formula of these shadows. They are very high quality. I also think the packaging is super cute. I like almost every color but the two lightest ones. That is just personal preference though. I don't care for white shadow. The only reason I'm taking off a point is that the brush it comes with is horrifically awful. I wasn't expecting to use it anyways but it is probably the worst brush I've ever gotten with a product. I don't even think I could make it work in an emergency.
4I've been wanting a good eyeshadow palette for a long time!! These shadows are beautifully pigmented and not too crumbly. The packaging is cute- I just wish Birchbox offered the other version of the packaging with the cute ladies on it. I almost didn't buy it because I've been wanting the other version for a while- but the shadow is the same so I sucked it up.
4I mainly go for a natural look… and this palette lets me do numerous variations and even a smoky, if I'm feeling game. I was surprised how well the colors stayed on even after a long day! I have "oily eyeballs" (dr.s' words) so most makeup slides right off in just a couple of hours… but not this stuff! Blends and layers well too!
4I just got this yesterday but I did play around with it and got two different looks and ideas for several others. What other reviews say about this being a good neutral palette is true but it's also got a few spunky colors nice for night looks, liner options or creating a dramatic smokey eye look. Great pigment, nice palette and I love that a mirror is part of it and a two sided brush included. I think I will really enjoy these colors this spring, summer and transition to fall (if it lasts that long!) :) Good buy for sure.
