Because these eyeshadows are made with professionals in mind, they are made to professional quality, so the quality and pigmentation is great and the shade range is totally great. There are 18 matte shades in this palette allowing you to achieve infinite shade variations. They range from bright yellow, to deep purple with every shade in between. All the shades are highly pigmented and all are smooth to the touch and go onto the eye nicely. They blend beautifully and I never found them to become muddy. Kryolan also includes a small eyeshadow brush that is made from real hair, which you may or may not like, but it is there.

All the shadows, without exception, can be used to achieve everything from very sheer coverage to dense, in-your-face, wow colours. They all blended well and lasted a good 7-8 hours on me.
