Let's get right to it! OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Smash Box palette! It has everything you need in ONE! I purchased mine at Sephora a couple months back for but lately I've been using it excessively... which is a good thing eh! this palette includes 28 beautiful eye shadows, which include matte shadows and shimmer, four gel liners (bronze, purple,blue and black) six blushes and two cheek highlighters
QUALITY of the products
This palette was the first Smash Box purchase I've made and I was definitely impressed. All the products in the palette are very pigmented but some shimmer shadows do have minor fall out but it's OK because they look fabulous and there's SOOOO many looks you can do with all the colors! I love the cheek highlighters, they're AMAZING and I love that they don't crumble when you apply them. A lot of highlighter can look cakey but these have the perfect amount of shimmer for a natural highlight. I honestly haven't tried the gel liners only because my go-to liner is my Maybelline Eye Studio Eyeliner but I swatched these on my hand and they looked to be okay but I'll have to give those beauties a try sometime.
WARNING! I MUST say that the packaging for this palette SUCKS. I had to exchange mine twice because the eye shadow pans kept falling since they weren't glued all the way AND the case is supposed to be magnetic and mine doesn't work but aside from that IT'S STILL worth the money! Thumbs up from me!
Anyway, here's how I got the look I have on the picture above!
Apply #1, Amethyst, all over the lid with any flat brush.
Apply#2, Aubergine, lightly on the outer corner and blend. Apply as needed to darken the color.
Apply #3, Blackout, on outer corner right next to #3 and blend but make sure you don't completely wipe out Aubergine.
Apply #4 on inner lid to brighten up the color, I applied two coats of this to make sure it was light enough and then blend it all together. Make sure you don't leave harsh lines on your crease.
REMEMBER it's better to apply the shadows in small amounts and add as you go (to darken) instead of just packing on the color all at once, which makes it almost impossible to blend!
XOXO,
