These complete palettes come with a cream primer and illuminator as well as four complimentary shadows. To help the user create the “perfect” eye look there is a diagram on the back of the palette explaining where to put each shadow, while the plastic insert over the shadows advise as to where they go as well. It’s a perfect all-in-one palette for a beginner or even someone who’s either on a budget or wants a palette that has everything together for easy travel.
This particular Dark Shadows palette has the following shades available: white, silver, gunmetal grey and black. There’s also a cream illuminator (white) and a primer base (nude). The shadows have a bit of glittery shimmer to them, but it’s no where near overwhelming or even moderately overwhelming. I would say the color pay off is pretty stellar for a product that retails for $4.99. I own the palette which is geared toward brown eyes (it has a cranberry/plum shade in it – gorgeous!) and I’ve used that many-a-time when I don’t want to have to go through what I have and want something that’s almost “fool proof”.
I would say the Dark Shadows palette isn’t for everyone. Some just don’t look great with silvers, while others aren’t comfortable with such “bold” eye looks (particularly if you’re more of a neutral kinda gal). Overall, I would say if you’re in the market for an all-in-one palette check out what NYC has to offer – they offer some pretty standup products for the price.
