The colors in this palette (Eye On Color) are mostly pastel shades of blues, greens and pinks along with a gorgeous blue, purple and a medium taupe that makes for a great smoky, evening look. I prefer the metallics over pastels shades as they seem to wash me out quite a bit. The 12 eye shadows are numbered and as the name suggests, the palette comes with a step-by-step instructional guide to achieving looks that range from 'just a wash of color' to high-drama.

- If you like shimmery shades, this palette is something you can play around with a lot.
- The shadows are well pigmented and very blendable.The metallic shades especially, pack a lot of color.
- The step-by-step instructional guide is a great feature for beginners.
- Easy to tote around.
- A couple of pastel shades, the top-most left color(white) and the light blue shade are a quite chalky.
- Not really a con, but I wish there were a couple of matte crease shades included too!
With this palette, I would suggest doing your eye make-up first and then moving on to the face routine since all shades do contain shimmer and a few flecks end up on the cheeks. I'm sure there are a variety of eye looks that can be achieved using this palette. If you like value sets and the concept of guided eyeshadow palettes or just eye shadow palettes in general with a mix of metallics and pastels, this is a great one to try!
