This is the first proper eye shadow palette I’ve bought and I’m so happy that I chose this one to start off with. I was looking for a palette that was affordable but still great quality, and at £8 you can’t really go wrong with this! I had heard A LOT of hype online, so I put my faith in the internet and bought it. And I wasn’t disappointed! It has 3 matte shades (a light brown, dark brown and a black) and the other 9 are shimmery, but not disco-ball shimmery.
Here’s what that palette looks like:
This palette includes pretty much everything you need to create any sort of look, from smokey to natural it has it all. The two matte brown shades are also great for filling in eyebrows. The top row of shadows consists of neutral/highlighter shades and the bottom row has more smokier/evening colors.
Here are some swatches:

I love this palette so much! The shadows are super pigmented, are quite long lasting and don’t crease easily. You can even recreate the Michelle Phan Autumn Ombre look with this palette!
Autumn Obmre look:
1. Take the pale pink colour and apply it all over the lid.
2. Now take the maroon colour next to it and put that in the outer third of your lid.
3. Using an accent brush apply the navy blue shade (3rd in from the right, bottom row) into the crease and outer V, then blend out the colour with a clean fluffy brush.
4. Pop some of the highlighter shade (2nd in from the left, top row) into the corner of the eye.
5. Apply your favorite red lippy and using that navy blue shade on the accent brush, feather it into the corners of your lips and inwards, this creates beautiful dimension to the lips.
( psst! Stay tuned to my Youtube Channel where I will soon be uploading a video on how to recreate Michelle Phans Autumn Ombre look using only drugstore products!)
Overall I think this is a amazing palette for beginners and experts! It’s so versatile, the packaging is sleek and compact and the quality of the shadows for the price is amazing. I highly recommend this to anyone who’s looking for a palette that is affordable yet still great quality.
