I did find shades 2, 3, and 5 to perform worse than the others, so that is something to keep in mind. I would worry that those lighter shades are also going to cancel a lot of the palette out for darker skin unless you typically use a light eyeshadow base. ![]() I think that if you like cooler toned eyeshadows, have tan to lighter skin tone and you like the e.l.f. And using shade 7 is purely for the want to use more of the palette, I’d much prefer to use a different shade for that or nothing at all from a color choice perspective.ĭespite some of the issues I’ve had, I still think this is underrated because I think the issues I experienced have more to do with my skin tone and my preferences than the overall formula. I find that now that I’ve tested the shades, I really only want to use shade 6 on the lid and shade 7 to blend the edges. I prefer a single shade (even if it costs more per shade) than to have to look at a palette full of shades I don’t like or can’t use. I do wish I could use more of the palette and this is why I shy away from buying palettes in general. I think they are easy to use and buildable eyeshadows and I enjoyed the looks I’ve done. Shade 10 does have specks of larger mica particles in it, but since I didn’t use it much I can’t say how annoying that might be. That is just a personal preference, deep purples make my slightly hooded eyes look very hooded. When I wanted depth I used shade 9 rather than 10. Shade 8 does work as a lid shade, but it doesn’t draw as much light to the center of the eye for my skin tone, but it performs nicely. Shade 7 is what I used to transition and blend out the edges of other shades. There is nothing super metallic in this palette, but shade 6 has the most pigment and shine to it. I do like the colors and functionality of the bottom row of swatches. I think you can probably tell from the swatches that the second half of the palette is just more flattering on my skin in terms of color choice. ![]()
