I wanted to love this palette so badly, and think it probably would be an awesome neutrals palette for someone who isn't very fair. If you are fair skinned, it's a bit challenging. The tones are very warm, with the few cooler toned eyeshadows actually being the metallic toppers, which was a surprise, I thought I was getting more copper options looking at some swatches, but the mica flake in these is almost silvery. It's hard for me to blend the cream shadows and they do seem to crease a bit, but perhaps that's user error. Somehow it feels like I end up doing the same look every time with this palette even when I use different colors. I also find that many of the lighter shades have a warm, almost orange cast that doesn't suit my pale skin so well, so I end up feeling like I need to do more to my face overall to balance it out, which feels backwards. Lastly, this isn't a palette I can use without eyeliner handy, despite the range of dark shadows because they are warm in tone, I find that it doesn't look put together until I've used a cooler tones liner underneath. The first one I ordered had a cracked brown shadow which was replaced by sephora, but I've read it's a bit of a problem with this palette. Overall, I think this would be a beautiful palette for someone with a skin tone that's not extremely pale, but for me it's a bit of a disappointment.
