If you are looking for a versatile palette that you can get multiple uses out of, the Tarte Tartiest Pro Palette could be the palette you are looking for. This is a really pretty shadow palette that contains both matte shadows as wells as four metallics. The palette is organized vertically by category, left to right: highlight, lid, crease, liner and shimmer shade. It's also been divided so that if you use the shadows that are in a row horizontally, they will work well together to create a "look". Of course, you can use the palette however you want to, but it's nice that Tarte has made the palette this way.
The mattes and metallic shades are quite nice and the pigmentation is good - especially considering they use natural ingredients to formulate their shadows. On top of all that, it really is such a pretty palette.
