This one is called "Walking the Red Carpet"
On the left are some softer, almost pink-toned shades, and on the right are some bronzey, red-toned shades.
And the swatches:
Again, working from the left down.
The "Browbone" shade is a very light pink matte. This is, unfortunately, the only matte shade in the palette. It is very nice and pigmented, and very soft. I am a little disappointed in the lack of mattes in this palette. The swatch is pretty hard to see on my skintone because I'm so fair, but I can tell you it is quite pigmented.
The "Eyelid" shade is a very light, soft brown satin shade. It is quite pigmented, but I wish it were matte because I think it would be a good transition shade. It comes off as I said with a satin finish, so I find it doesn't look too flattering in the crease. It is a bit darker in person, the sun washed it out a bit.
The "Crease" shade is actually quite similar in tone to the eyelid one. It a shimmery medium brown that goes on very smoothly. It is really pigmented and easy to blend and probably my favorite shade in the palette.
The "Definer" shade is a dark chocolatey brown with an almost plum shimmer. It is nice and pigmented and the shimmer is really pretty. I really like this shade to define the outer v. It is more pigmented than it appears in the photo.
NEXT ROW:
The "Browbone" shade is a very pretty yellow-toned cream shimmer. It is very pigmented, and shows up true to color, as opposed to just a wash of shimmer. It's very smooth and a joy to apply. It looks gorgeous on the inner corner. It is much more shimmery than it appears in the photo.
The "Eyelid" shade is a very yellow-toned gold with a ton of glitter. This is my least favorite shade in the palette. It is extremely dry and flaky with a ton of fallout. It really needs to be worked with to achieve your desired look.
The "Crease" shade is a coppery bronze shimmer with a fine yellow-gold glitter. It is not my favorite shade because it has a lot of fallout but it is pigmented.
The "Definer" shade is a dark reddish brown with chunky yellow-gold glitter. If you're familiar with the "Comfort Zone" palette, it actually reminds me of the blue-brown duochrome definer shade in that palette, minus the blue shift of course. I like this shade, and I think it would work well for a one color eye look.
All in all, I am fairly impressed with this palette. I do wish they had included more mattes, but that doesn't bother me too much because I do like shimmer. I will say if you were going for one of the palettes, I'd probably go for the purple one.
Overall, 3.5/5
