Top Row:
Soft & Sexy - a matte warm milk chocolate/medium brown. I use this mainly as a transition shade.
Smooth Harmony - a shimmery duo chrome mauve/pink that shifts to a champagne gold in certain lights.
Forever Yours - another duo chrome brown that's a bit darker than Soft & Sexy with blue/silver and green sheen.
Slow Dance - a matte dark brown. My least favorite shade in the palette as it's not as pigmented as the others. Applies patchy and chalky, which is a bummer as it could have worked wonders in the outer V to give smoky looks more depth.
Bottom Row:
First Love - another matte ivory cream that's good as a base or highlight in the inner corners of the eyes or browbone.
Casual Elegance - just like the name entails, a shimmery muted and elegant yellow gold. I use this all over the lids or just the center for shine and dimension.
Sweet Sound - one of my favorite shades in the palette. A rich shimmery copper which I use on the outer half of my lids. It can also work great as an all over the lid shade.
Lovely Monday - a dark brown with shimmer. A satin version of Slow Dance. It is also a little powdery but still better than Slow Dance.
Timeless Chic - a matte black. I use this instead (in place of a matte brown) on the outer Vs to deepen and darken the looks I create.
For the price, I'd say this is an okay palette. But, if you're just starting your makeup collection, this would be awesome and perfect for you! You can just get this one palette, and you're good to go. It's great for everyday/office wear and at the same time, still give you that party/glam look if necessary.
All their eyeshadows, with the exception of Slow Dance are highly-pigmented and are easy to blend. They last a long time on the lids and do not crease or fade even without a primer.
One of the very few cons I have to say about this palette is it's a bit powdery. Especially with the matte shades, which has a lot of kick back. Although one can just tap or knock the excess off one's brush to avoid fall-out. Another con would be, granted it is a neutral palette and they have limited colors to put in, some of the shades I feel are just too similar, which becomes more apparent when placed on the lid. And since (this is not the palette's fault by the way) I already have several palettes with a lot of browns, I feel the colors are repetitive and I almost always end up reaching for another palette (for a different color) to finish the looks I create.
So if you're lacking a neutral palette from your collection or you're just starting it, I say, go buy this, if not, then you don't have to rush online to purchase it. Although you may want to look at Zoeva's other palettes.
Until next time.
