Another eyeshadow palette! This one was a gift from
Larie, and fills the black-smoky-eye hole in my collection.
The trio comprises three shadows, a shimmery pale pink-leaning cream, a dark sooty shimmery charcoal, and a matte black.
In the pans, the grey and black look very different, and even swatched on my arm they retain some uniqueness, but I find that applied, they both just look
super dark. This is probably partly because I'm really pale, but I would find it a more versatile palette if the charcoal were a few shades lighter. I find I have to build very gradually and do a lot of blending with the lightest shade (which isn't completely opaque, so isn't completely effective at lightening over-applied black, as I learned the hard way) to not feel like a raccoon. Still, the quality is good; all shades are soft and pigmented, and they last all day over primer (I never wear anything on bare lids).

Black smoky eyes on me are really dramatic, so I don't use the palette too often, but I'm really glad to have it for those occasions that warrant dramz!
