   This is one of my favorite palettes – I tried it after agonizing after which one to get and I went with this. I love it so much I bought two more on sale when I found them on Amazon.

   I noticed that in some of the reviews that others saw the two darkest shades as brown – I think they’re more like a very deep raisin with a brownish tone (the one on the top left is matte, the one on the right in the middle is a little darker and kind of sparkley). I am very pale…I can’t always tell which peachy shades work well with my complexion when ordering online, so I was a little apprehensive of the peachy shades (both shimmery), but they’re actually my favorites. I use them the most (they’re almost gone, glad I stocked up), and they look great with the brownish-raisin shades if you like a smokey eye…and I pretty much always do a smokey eye. The taupe is great, so are the matte shades on the right, and they make great base colors. I don’t use the grey very much, but it has a very subtle pink tint (VERY subtle) and it works great with all the other colors (except maybe the taupe).The shimmery pink shade in the middle on the bottom is really pretty & also compliments the other colors. I use it with some of my other random shadows too bc it makes a great blending color to soften above the crease if you apply it sheerly.

   Like everything by NYX that I’ve tried so far, the colors are all highly pigmented if you’re using a primer (I always do – usually the NYX HD eyeshadow primer & sometimes the jumbo stick in milk). If you want to ramp up the pink/peachy colors you can use the jumbo stick in rust in the outer corner of the lid – really pretty for a lighter smokey eye.

   I LOVE this palette, the colors are great for me & every time I use it I get compliments. I think it will pretty much work with most skin tones, but it definitely does for those of us with very fair skin. So glad I bought two more!

   I am not at all happy with this palette. The color pay off is terrible and the colors are kind of odd. I have the Merci Beaucoup palette as well, and the colors show up so much better.

   i LOVE this palette. I was fortunate enough to get this for .99 after using my Ulta points during a shopping trip and I am happy to say that it’s been worth it and then some. I have been looking for a matte, rosy hued tone for my eyelids that would let me build a strong “neutral” eye and this palette contains it, along with all of the complimentary colors to build a great look.

   Some of the colors are chalky and you’ll get your best outcome when you prime with the milk pencil–blend well and build to get the effect that you want. I used the rosey color on the lid, deeper brown in the crease and the taupe color under the brow, followed by a vivid Infallible eye color in Glistening Garnet on the corners to add lift, it was a perfect combination.

   I’m a big NYX fan but if I didn’t like this product, I would tell you to steer clear. This is a great palette. It will be much paler on those with fair skin so if you’re looking for some tremendous pop of color outside of the golds and browns in the palette, I would suggest another from the “Love’ collections.

   I got this as a gift and I must say, I don’t really like it.

   Great colors in this amazing palette!! I’m light to medium skin tone with blonde hair/brown eyes and this palette works great for me. It makes my eyes pop. The quality of the shadows is great. Very smooth & creamy. Very blendable & not really powdery at all. The colors are a mix of matte and shimmery but the shimmer is perfect & not to much. I’m really impressed w/the great quality at such an affordable price! Nyx’s eyeshadows are velvety smooth and are so easy to work with. I highly recommend this palette if ur into more neutral shades!
