Holiday 2016 Eyeshadow Palette

By EJG 10 years ago.

Beautiful colors that flatter all skin types. Highly pigmented and easy to apply. I've been able to create so many different looks - the possibilities are endless. $60 is a great deal for as many shades as you get for the high quality of the shadows. I wish this were a permanent KVD palette, she does keep knocking it out of the park with these.

Overall, the the metallic colors are great. I've only had some trouble with getting Tinsel to wear well, that tended to have more fall out and not be as pigmented for me. Glitz is a great highlighting color. Nebula, Watt and Synergy in particular were beautiful. They just apply so nicely, with minimal fallout and a lot of pigmentation. The matte shades had some hits and misses. As much as I wanted to love Velvet, it just didn't blend well and ended up patchy. Ribbon had some similar problems. I personally don't see why Bone and Linen were both included, as they tended to look really similar when used. And Feather just blended away for me. I personally don't have many matte blacks, so while I can say Jet is probably the best one I've used, it's probably not the best one out there, but it's very pigmented. It's a little hard to blend though. Moss, Velour, Suede and Fringe are probably my favorite ones in here, as they tend to both blend very well for layering and build great for color. Overall, not too much fallout, some kick up with some of the matte shades, and pretty long wearing. I think it's a pretty great palette.
