This palette is a great combination of shades and finishes. Whether you are a beginner or a veteran hoarder such as myself, you will find this palette a wonderful addition to your collection. The colors and richness of this palette make it perfect for Fall. Metallic is "In" for Fall 2013, and there are a plethora of metallic shades in here. I LOVE the orange and red shades as well as the taupes and greens. There are just enough matte shades for the matte lovers out there, and I love the fact that nearly all the brow highlight shades are matte. Pearl will be great for the inner corners of the eyes. I did find the darkest shades lacking in pigment, but over a primer they will work just fine.
The get the look cards are a clever idea and super useful for those who look at this palette and wonder what the heck to do with it. They pretty much take thinking out of the equation. The only decision is which card to use and what shade family to wear that day. Each row is a different color family that work well together, but of course, they can be used however you wish with any other color.
Overall, for under $50, this palette is amazing! I would definitely recommend this one!!!
