![]() They blended into each other easily and I achieved a nice color-payoff right away: I didn’t have to keep going back in to add more except for that periwinkle color. I am impressed with the pigments in most of these shades. In fact, I learned a lesson not to always trust hand-swatching in the future. I decided to put them to the real test, because come on! Who just buys an eyeshadow palette to swatch it on the back of your hand? Well, my lovely readers, you’ll be happy to know that despite the fact that these shadows did not swatch very well initially, they did show up nicely on my eyelids and I had no trouble blending them and patting them on gently to build up color and I did NOT use a damp brush or wet the shadows in any way. Much better! I felt now I could really see how these might perform on my eyelids since I always wear a primer anyway. None of the YouTube videos I watched commented on how poorly they swatch and so I almost wondered at first if there was something wrong with my palette because I expected to feel buttery soft shadows that glided on like a dream. However… my initial thoughts when swatched dry with my fingertips on the back of my hand? I was NOT impressed and started to get worried. I’ll be honest, I couldn’t wait to swatch this puppy because the colors look so stunning together. And finally, a dark, navy blue matte base with royal blue sparkles throughout which seemed a tad on the “gritty side” to me.A satin, what I would call “periwinkle” (GORGEOUS on the eye!) but probably the shade I had the most trouble with as you do need patience to build it and it was the chalkiest of the bunch. ![]()
