Most Helpful Positive Review Price could be lower.. but I guess for the quality it's ok! I wanted a coral-peachy palette but i dont wear eyeshadow everyday so i wanted an affordable and simple one. This is exactly that, it's pigmented and smooth and i really like the shades. To me for the size I would assume a pricetag of $5.99 for maybelline but it is higher quality than their other powder eyeshadows so I guess it's worth the price jump. perfect for what i was looking for.
Most Helpful Critical Review Some pigmentation issues I bought this palette to help create a Smokey eye effect, specifically for the black, white, light grey (looks tan in the online photos, but my palette is definitely a grey color), and silver sparkle shades. I found every color to be blendable and pigmented well except the black. Although it appeared pigmented while gathering the color on my finger, after attempting to pat it on my lids, the color was MUCH lighter. Using a densely packed brush offered the same effect. When trying to blend out the black with another color using a fluffy brush, the black immediately began to dissapear.
However, the other colors had an almost buttery texture to them, which made them wonderful to work with. As a drugstore brand palette, it is worth the money if you are patient with attempting to build the color.

Disappointed - lack of pigment, not enough variation in shades.

This is as described! It has no sparkle to it, it may look like it in the pictures but it does not. It is easy to blend and blends well.
Very pretty neutral palette 4

Love the neutral palette, great colors for my medium skin tone.
Words cannot describe how much I love this 5
cactusgirl from USA
LOVE !!! My friend got it for me (I'm a beginner) and I love it so much. The mattes are a bit dusty but that's fine, and the sparkly shades are AMAZING!!!!!!!! So pigmented. I love it so much I got another one. Nice size too for taking it places, good for on the go. I'd like Maybelline to make a big palette .

SL from Co
I love maybelline, it is a great budget eyeshadow. These colors are beautiful and blend well. If I don't have money for a urban decay, I buy this brand.
color didn't match 1
none from San luis Obispo, Cal
I was happy to find a "Matte" assortment of brown and tan and white eye shadows. I was very disappointed when I put it on. The colors are not as seen...they looked gold almost a lite orange...no tan or brown. I looked awful and put the case in my "do not like give away" drawer. The other products I purchased were fine.

great for beginners 4
isabella os from maryland
i got this palette when i just started learning how to do eyeshadow and it was a great start. the colors don't blend perfectly, are a bit chalky and are warmer than they actually look but it's good to start out with and, even now, a good basic for me. i liked it a lot when i first got it and still like it now. it's good that it's cheap and it's easily accessible which makes this even better.
Just Ok 3
Ashley from Texas
Compared to the other city mini palettes this one is a little dryer. The pigment also seems to be less. I was let down by this but I keep it because the colors are so beautiful. Don't get me wrong it's a good palette and easy to use, I just find it's a little different compared to others in the line
If you look closely, there are sparkles. 1
Brittanny from Morgantown WV
I am looking for an all matte palette for my mom. She is 50 and wants matte shadows with zero shimmer zero sparkle. So most may overlook this tiny detail but if you look closely there are instead sparkles and shimmers in every shade. It's ridiculous honestly. Don't call yourself a matte palette if you're going to hide sparkles inside of it. That's the problem with drug store palettes and it's disappointing.
Stay-All-Day Color 5
technobuzzz from Colorado
My skin is medium tan (neutral), and the colors from this palette are amazing against my skin!
Pros:
+ Color has good pigment and blends well together
+ Stays all day (I literally wore this for 12 hours straight and the colors stayed on) This is a big deal for me because I have very oily skin.
+ Cant beat the price for what you get
Cons:
- It's pretty chalky and probably won't last as long as other palettes if you use often

Doesn't blend well 2
MissShelbyD from Lawton, OK
Super beautiful shades in the pan but doesn't blend well at all. Comes out patchy and lots of fall out. Definitely not feeling this palette. You will definitely need a primer to keep it on your lids.
Great palette 4
Loli6429 from Oregon
I love this palette but on me the colors turn a little purple, it's kinda weird but I also kinda enjoy the way it looks. I'm super pale though, and maybe the undertones just pop more than they do in the pan
LOVE IT 5
Brooke from Lambertville nj
This is definitely one of my favorite eyeshadow palette even though its very basic I feel like it has nice colors that can be used everyday or in more dramatic looks. And the pigment pay off is great for all of them
Horrible colors 1

Colors Are Warmer Than They Appear In Package 4
MCM02852 from Rhode Island
I bought this to a avoid packing my Naked palette for travel. The eyeshadows are nice for the price and wore well when I applied a primer first. My only issue is that the colors are a lot warmer on than they appear in the palette, which didn't really work with my neutral/light olive skin tone. It was okay for a business trip but I will keep looking.
Great color palette. But it does seems a little powdery. 4
Jan from Florida
Be careful when applying otherwise the powder flies. But, once it is there the color palette is great.
Best neutral colors. 5
Debbie from Bakersfield
Great for defining eyes.
Great neutral eyeshadow. 5

Mattes are hard to find. I like the neutral tones. Maybelline prices are very reasonable.
No, I would not buy this product again 1
50's chick from Wichita, KS
I always do my eyes, even when I am only going to be at home, these colors are much too intense for mature skin
I liked the colors but there was no applicator! 3
nursegail from Northern NY state
I liked the colors especially for fall and because the colors are versatile and not bright, but muted.
Just okay 3
Ali from USA
This eye showed is okay. The colors are much more orange in person which was disappointing as I was looking for something that was more brown. Stays on okay.
