I bought this palette when I first started my new job. I was looking for something neutral but a bit smokey. I admit, I wasn't too fond of this palette when I first got it. I didn't hate it but I...

Like many mentioned already that this eyeshadow palette is not very pigmented. I have found a way for the colors to show up more vibrantly. Use "Fire in Her Eyes" (light beige color) as an all...

I would buy this again. That being said, I rarely wear heavier eye make-up and to me the pigmentation is just perfect for day looks and muted evening looks. They stay on great with a primer and I...

I bought this palette online as I haven't got access to any MAC stores and I am not able to return it (I have already swatched it). I am very disappointed. I do love its packaging, the fact that it...

As my first MAC e/s palette, I am pleased with the colors I get. I've had it now for about 2 months and I realize what others are saying about this palette: the colors aren't pigmented enough;...

The sets are good to give as gifts, but if you are going to buy shadows for yourself...find a MAC store and build your own palette. In the premade ones the shadows are not as pigmented and you get...

I love this palette. The colors are great though I do wish they were a little more pigmented. Its very wearable and can be played with to use for a subtle or an intense look.

This is a good palette to own if you are in need of toned down neutrals that would be suitable for work. A few of the colors reminded me of the smokey eye palette from last years holiday set that I...

This is my very first MAC e/s purchase. I had been holding out because of the number of unused shadows I already own. When I saw this yesterday at Nordstrom's, the colors caught my eye. They are...

This is a pretty decent palette to have for everyday work/school-friendly eye makeup. These colors are very safe and inoffensive, as well as hard to mess up with. The shadows are less pigmented...

I like this palette. Whilst it isn't as full-on smoky as some of MAC's previous smoky palettes, it can be used to create a more daytime friendly smoky eye. Where I think it excels is if you're...

I was really pleased with this palette, opposed to previous years' smoky eye palettes. This one is a little more fitted to my tastes. It's on the slightly more understated side, almost more neutral...
