This is almost too good to be true. And in perfect time for packing for those summer getaways. This palette has the absolute best in neutral shades that can be layered for varying looks. I really can’t imagine too many skin tones this wouldn’t work for. If you have dark skin, the mattifying powder could be too light, but I found it to be very translucent. All of the products, I think, would look fabulous from pale to very dark. The palette contains:
- Powder Eyeshadow Trio – satin matte charcoal, satin matte taupe, and matte vanilla cream
- Face Duo – Translucent Mattifying Powder and Mattifying Powder Bronzer in matte honey
- Tint & Highlighter Duo – Champagne Highlighter in shimmering pink and Cinnamon Tint in creamy deep rose
- Ginger Lip Gloss – shimmering copper (very sheer and light)
The individual pieces slide apart so if you only want to carry bring a few or throw one into a clutch, easy! I use my fingers for most of these items, but theoretically you would need a powder, bronzer , eyeshadow and liner brushes. It can be difficult to get only the bronzer or powder on the brush so I ended up mixing them and really liked the effect. It was much easier for me to use my fingers on the eye palette then blend with a brush once it was applied. Order from Birchbox. Right now they have free shipping on this item! ($58)
