I’d say for the price (I paid $22.99) this is a really good palette. I was impressed by the pigmentation of the mattes (sometimes lower priced mattes are done SO wrong and they wimp out on the pigmentation) and they wear really well even without a primer (I was able to get close to five hours of wear with only minimal creasing and almost no fading—but make sure you use a base to ensure all day wear). The shimmery shades are pigmented as well—but not in the way some higher quality shimmers are—you have to be very careful with how much product you get on your brush and your application because the fallout is real. Like really real—you could accumulate quite a bit of shimmer under your eyes if you’re not careful.
