e.l.f. Baked Eyeshadow Palette, NYC, 0.212 oz

It's alright. No it's not your ultimate "fangirl over" eyeshadow palette but, it works okay. Let me tell you, i've never used baked eyeshadow until a few weeks ago. So, I use it right, never looking up the difference between baked and regular eyeshadow and i'm sitting at my vanity wondering why it's not going on my eyelid well or well pigmented. I did the unjustifiable to my poor makeup brush. I flipped the bad boy over and start beating the baked eyeshadow with the end of my makeup brush. Little did I know, you're supposed to wet it. So ladies, make sure to look it up before you became the Godzilla to your makeup palette.

I figured out how to make this palette workable. I got this for free, with an order, and I had to scrape off a LOT of overspray. I also found I couldn't use brushes, the shadow simply would not stick, even with setting spray. However. Fingers are the way to go. This palette would be great for someone who doesn't have a lot of time, or makeup brushes. I created the eye look in the photo using just this palette, my fingers and about two minutes. Would I buy this? Personally, no. I have lots of other palettes I get more use out of. But for someone starting out or needing something cheap and easy, this might fit the bill.

I bought this like a month and this my FAVORITE palette, it's really really amazing the pigment, you only need to use your brush wet and the pigment it's beautiful! I highly recommend this product, I have several eyeshadow from Estée Lauder and I prefer elf eyeshadow, the eyeshadow are wonderful

No pigment at all with the California palette .. wish I read the reviews before I wasted money on it. No pigment what so ever, no matter how hard you press into it most you'll get is a little shimmer which doesn't show unless you shine light onto it. Waste of money.

As many other fans have said, reading these reviews is quite frustrating. I used this palette all through college and LOVED it. You have to use a wet brush to apply the shadows, and when you do they give a beautiful foiled metallic finish, beautiful for going out.
