30-Pan Shadow Palette

Cheers to this versatile palette full of possibilities! Just about ever colour in this palette was on my wish list. After longing over the swatches here on Temptalia, I knew I had pined long enough and it was time to own it. Even though this is a warm toned summer themed palette, I do think it has enough range to be useful for other seasons also. I used it to make a coquette core spring look, for example. The terracotta browns and golds would be a fine fit for autumn and the bold and vibrant glitters would be useful for a festive holiday or New Year's eve galmourous look. I am partial to pinks and rose golds, and I used the ones in this set for a Valentine's Day look, as well. There's plenty of neutrals and nudes for every day wear. Of course, in addition there's also pops of fun colours to play with. There is a wide range of mattes, shimmers, metallics, and glitters. I do agree that when it comes to this colour story, it is indeed "All Good." My only criticism is the glitter in Gold Star and Michelada seems a bit risky to use on the eyes. I have not used either one and probably won't because I would worry about my eyes being scratched if a piece of any glitter fell off. Since I haven't tried the glitter I cannot make any claims on it, so I will leave that to the reviewers who have done so. It's also a little bit on the larger size, which can lead to cluttering if not stored conveniently. It's nonetheless still a great palette for 28 out of the 30 shades for me.

Metallics are pleasant, smooth and easy to apply but my problem with most shades – they appear much warmer on the eyelid than they are in the pan. And even with metallics hard to predict the actual result. Would not recommend for cooler toned skin or blue eyes. Matte shadows are powdery as hell, gets everywhere, hard to keep the palette itself clean. Pigmentation is good, but a bit hard to blend so not beginner friendly. Good range of darker and lighter shades so doesn't get boring. Likely to be good for makeup artists as it's not cool enough for cool-toned and not universal enough for warm toned, yet gives you a good range when doing makeup on other people.

This palette is a neutral-lover's dream. It's everything you need to neautral looks, but in a range of shimmers and mattes, light looks, deep looks, simple or complete. This one does it all. My only gripe is that this size of this palette is a bit cumbersome to store and would not be easy to travel with. But that is a really minor problem for me.
