Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The bottom line is, this palette is a fantastic buy for the price. It would be best suited for beginners in make-up, people trying out certain shades for the first time, a simple everyday palette when you don't want to use up your good ones, a perfect travel palette (because it's small and you won't care too much if it gets broken/lost), or as a supplementary palette to someone who already has some eyeshadow shades. It is BEST used with an eye primer and/or base such as NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil Shadow Liner 604 Milk! So this is the detailed part for those that want it. I'll do a general pros/cons and then I'm going to review each shade of the "Natural" palette and I did swatches which I will upload to the product photos for you guys. Pros: - Very affordable - Many different shades with different tones, making it versatile for nearly every complexion. - Contains mattes and shimmers (more shimmers than mattes, though - I believe there's 8 mattes out of 32 shadows) - Can do man different looks with the shades provided, from n-makeup makeup look to work/daytime to nighttime. - Fairly pigmented and fairly blendable. Cons: - The mattes are often streaky or chalky when not used with a base (I used the NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Milk, as linked above) - Most colors do not appear well at all without a primer or base, actually. - Not as pigmented as the higher-end palettes (but it's also a tiny fraction of the cost!) I highly recommend using an eye primer and/or a base when using these shadows, and using an eyeshadow brush instead of the cheapie sponge applicator that is included. My swatches are of each shade without and with the NYX milk base on my arm. I'm very pale and have a warm neutral tone (equally pinky and yellowy). I'm going to go color by color, but as they are not named or labelled, I have to say which row and column they are in. Rows (R) go from left to right, and columns (C) go from top to bottom. - R1C1: This was a really really light color. It's matte, and leans towards the pink-ish side. I had to build it up quite a bit to get it to show on my arm in the swatches. I use it as a base shade all over my lid before I put other colors down, or as a subtle highlight. - R1C2: A warm medium-light tan shimmer. I feel like this is very flattering to many eye colors and complexions. It blends easily and shows up well even without primer/base. - R1C3: A neutral light tan matte. It's similar to R1C1 but darker and warmer. It is hard to make show up on my skin. I would mostly use it as a soft crease blend shadow. - R1C4: A cool-toned medium brown shimmer. There's actually not a TON of shimmer in this one for me. The shadow is kind of hard, but it goes on well. Looks like an amazing cappuccino color with NYX Milk under it. - R1C5: A very warm medium brown matte. It's like the color of reddish/orangey earth-clay. Looks beautiful under the base, but is VERY streaky on bare skin! - R1C6: A warm golden shimmer. Very soft shadow, so easy to blend but also hard to pick up and easy to mess it up in the pan. It's a really beautiful color though. - R1C7: A warmish tan shimmer with gold tones to it, similar to R1C6 but a bit darker. Again, a beautiful color. - R1C8: A dark warm brown shimmer. Goes well with the previous two shades. - R2C1: A light yellow-toned matte. Again, had to build it up to get it to show. I use it as a highlight color sometimes, but it's very yellowy. - R2C2: A very light neutral shimmer. I use this as a highlight most often. It's VERY soft though. - R2C3: A very warm orangey/bronze shimmer. Nice color, nice coverage. - R2C4: A slightly warm coppery shimmer. Goes on lightly on bare skin, but lovely over base. - R2C5: A warm dark chocolatey brown matte. Very streaky on bare skin. - R2C6: A neutral darker brown shimmer. Lovely color and coverage. - R2C7: A neutral lighter brown shimmer, similar to previous color but lighter. - R2C7: A neutral light gray shimmer. Would be a good tone to use in a smokey gray eye. - R3C1: A neutral light tan shimmer. It's not very shimmery and is again very light, hard to see on my pale skin. - R3C2: A neutral light tan shimmer, slightly yellower than R3C1, but otherwise very similar. - R3C3: A neutral tan matte. Like the previous two colors, but matte and every so slightly darker. - R3C4: A dark neutral espresso brown shimmer. Very soft in the pan but nice blendability (lol) and color. - R3C5: A neutral taupe shimmer with a slightly yellow undertone. Soft yet nice. - R3C6: A neutral taupe shimmer with a pinker undertone, again soft but nice coverage. - R3C7: A neutral chocolate brown shimmer. Warmer than the other neutral shades in this row, but nowhere near as warm as the warm shades! Soft, too. - R3C8: A neutral gray shimmer. Darker than R2C8. - R4C1: A cool, light taupe shimmer(?). It's barely shimmery in my pan or on skin, so not sure if I should classify it as shimmer or matte! - R4C2: The warmest of the cool brown shimmers. - R4C3: Cool medium-dark brown shimmer. - R4C4: Very cool grayish brown shimmer. Very soft. - R4C5: Cool espresso brown shimmer. Dark and lovely. - R4C6: Cool dark gray shimmer. Goes with the other grays, just cooler and darker. - R4C7: Shimmer black. - R4C8: Matte black. The two blacks are decently black over a white base. The matte black is slightly chalky on bare skin, typical of the mattes in this palette. So there you have it! I hope this helps.
