This is the first eyeshadow palette I’ve bought from Buxom, so I didn’t know what to expect as far as their formula goes. I found that it applies easily, blends smoothly, and doesn’t fade (I use an eye primer). The only “issue” is that these are mostly mauvy pink shades, so you have to like that look. I’m always afraid that these types of shades can make you look like you’ve been crying!
