Note(s):  
  • I really like the packaging and design of this palette but the performance is nothing special.
  • The shades are very finely milled and borderline powdery. If you look at the demo in the Hourglass Cosmetics website, you will see how powdery they look when the person taps the brush to removed the excess product. 
  • the shimmery shades can be used wet or dry; using them wet intensifies the color 
  • A brush with fine bristles helps to apply this product without too much fallout.
