Good variety of colours

I purchased this as part of a kit. I thought the mix of colours would work well for me as I enjoy wearing rose tones. This didn't work very well for me for the following reasons:
*There was only one lighter matte shade and is too white, even for my fair to medium skin tone
*The shades I would use for transition are too flat.
*The darkest shade that looks purple in the pan, is actually quite black when applied.
*The shimmer shades don't apply smoothly. They skip and don't leave much pigment, mostly shine. Even when I tried to wet the shadows applicator, I couldn't get much colour.
*The shadows seem to get hard on the top and had a lumpy texture in the pan.
It's too bad these didn't work because they look so good in the pan.
