Eyes popping!

I have most recently started using pallettes and brushes and being a novice needed a good palette that was easy to work with and had a variety of tones. I found it in PUR's palette. I received compliments on my eyes and it was easy and fast to create a bold look.

Nice palette with lots of shade options

The palette contains 18 shadows with different finishes in three rows of six. Overall, there is a great selection of shades to suit every skin tone and every need. There are plenty of neutrals, deep shades, glam shades and transitions shades, but most of the shades are on the warm side.

The pigmentation was good and they were very soft and blendable. I found that, without exception, they all worked better over primer, giving much better colour payoff and less fallout. This is particuarly true of the matte shades which definitely benefit from being laid over primer. When I removed the swatches from my arm, they came off very easily where there was no primer, but were much tougher to remove from the primed areas, which says a lot.

By far, my favorite shade is Paradise on the bottom row. It is a rich, pigmented shimmer that is a metallic purple. It shimmers depending on the light, like a foiled shadow look. Beautiful. I also like Legend, Penny, Dreamer, Popular, Adobe and Faux. Midnight is also a lovely deep blue shimmer, but needs primer to bring out the best of it. Without primer, it is dry and patchy. My least favorites are Bossy, Zenon, Lola, Billionaire and Galaxy.

Overall, I'm really liking this palette. There are enough shades that you can make lots of different looks without using an additional palette. I strongly recommend using primer for all the shades as it will give your colours that added pop and make them last longer.
