I recently started using makeup after a looong time, so I'm out of practice. This palette is super easy to use for a beginner - the colors blend beautifully and although the palette is colorful, the shadows are all very elegant and wearable and perfect for work. The packaging and shadows are high quality, the whole palette actually looks and feels better in real life than on the website, there are lots of little details and it's well done. I am now obsessed with the yellowish shadow - first time ever I've ever worn such a color - and if this restocks I will buy a second palette just because of it. It's surprisingly wearable and looks amazing as a transition shade will the other shades. Really gives a beautiful subtle pop. I have light skin, dark hair, and green hazel eyes, if that helps you out.
