These eyeshadows are so pigmented with a single swipe on the skin and they blend so easily on the lids. The metallic shades perform better than the mattes but compared to other eyeshadows I’ve used, their matte formula is something to be bragged about. There’s barely any powder that gets kicked off by the brushes and I haven’t experienced any fallouts with them. Also, I haven’t use any primer with these because they last so long on the lids.The mix of shadows in general works well the Lighter matte (Charm) is almost exactly my skin color when applied so it doesn’t show up well and is okay-ish as a transition. The shimmer (Sublime) is stunning and the brownish shade (Godiva) is pigmented with a reddish tinge to it. It is also a bit more powdery than the other shadows and takes a little bit more time to blend out. It actually works a lot better if you use an eyeshadow Primer.
