The overall composition of basic brown tones makes it perfect for daily use, and I highly recommend it to those who love creating dimensional eye looks. I have a darker complexion (shade 23), though I typically use base products in shade 21, and my skin tone falls between autumn warm and neutral. Even with my skin tone, this palette doesn't clash, which leads me to believe it would suit warm, neutral, and even light cool-toned individuals quite well. What I appreciated most was the balanced mix of shimmer and matte shadows, making it incredibly versatile. Unlike palettes that are overly glittery or too flat, this one strikes the perfect harmony, allowing for beautiful looks whether used alone or layered. The palette includes a range of shades from light base colors to deep contouring hues, making it ideal for beginners to create natural dimension, while makeup enthusiasts can experiment with various looks. It contains everything from subtle lid colors to shades perfect for adding depth to the outer corners or under the eyes - it feels like they've curated only the most essential colors. The muted brown tones create an overall sophisticated and calm makeup look without being flashy. If you're into elegant and understated makeup, you'll definitely be satisfied with this palette. It's clear why it frequently sells out.
ConsWhile there were many positives about this palette, I found the color payoff and longevity slightly disappointing. The matte shadows don't deliver intense color in one swipe, so you'll need to build them up for desired depth. The lighter shades apply very naturally, which is great for everyday looks, but it can be a bit frustrating when you want to create more dramatic dimension. The staying power, while not terrible, wasn't exceptionally long-lasting. Particularly for those with oily eyelids, the colors might start to crease or fade over time. I found it necessary to use an eye primer or setting spray. Some of the shimmer shadows didn't adhere perfectly to the eyelid, feeling a bit chunky or thick when applied. There was also some fallout when using a brush. Patting them on gently with your finger yielded much better results.
TipFor the matte shadows, applying an eye primer first and then layering the color twice with your finger significantly improves both the color intensity and adherence. The darker shades work beautifully as a soft, smoky eyeliner when applied with a thin brush along the lash line. For the shimmer shadows, using your fingertip to gently pat the product onto the center of the lid works much better than using a brush. This method prevents clumping and creates a beautiful, subtle sparkle. The neutral tones in this palette blend well with other eyeshadows, so I often use it as my go-to brown palette and mix it with other colors. It's versatile enough for daily wear and perfect for occasions like job interviews or dates when you want a polished look. Keep these tips in mind, and enjoy creating beautiful eye looks!
