Most Helpful Positive Review A formala worth sooooo much more! So being an MUA and Beauty Advisor I try a lot of products!
This is one I'll admit I had put off because other than a very few of the City Minis, I haven't really been impressed with their formulas for shadows over the years.
However, I should have tried this one the second it came in! Fantastic formulas! I'm HIGHLY impressed and to be honest, shocked! Normally for personal use, I'm a cool tone kinda girl. These though can be used in multiple ways and you can get so many looks from this little palette! My clients have loved it as well. Also very versatile for many skin tones and I highly appreciate that!
If someone would have taken the name off and had me try these and guess the price, I would have said in the $35-$50 range. They are very pigmented, but not to the point that even beginners couldn't blend them out. Speaking of blending, it's a dream! They also hold well, even without a primer. Although I always recommend some type of primer, you can get away without one if needed.
This little palette I hope is what we all see more of from the brand! Highly recommend this beauty to anyone! From beginners to the pros! It's amazing! Also a little tip...If you need a brow powder, it might be in there. Bronzer... Yep maybe depending on your skin tone! Even a few dabbed in a couple of colors to make an under eye brightening /smoothing powder... I tested it's limits and slapped some under my eyes to see if it would work. Although that was not perfect and what I would pick if I had other options, it worked and didn't look awful; I'm always trying to see how far I can push a product lol! I'm a pinch, this baby could be much more than just shadows and at a fantastic price! You can even make a blush depending on your skin tone. But I would advise a mist of some type after to really melt it in your skin. Still... It works! Yay!! You won't regret this one I believe! Maybelline, you really impressed me here!
**Although this was sent to me PR / gift to try and test. These are my personal thoughts and feelings. As with any review, I'm blunt lol! If this tells you anything, I purchased two more after trying it personally a few times. Those two are for client use! So it's safe to say that I love it! Not sponsored, not affiliated!**
Most Helpful Critical Review Overhyped I don't understand how anyone likes this palette. The formula is so dry and not creamy. The colors swatch okay, but don't go on the eyes well. I applied so many layers over different primers, but the shimmers just don't build up or show up well. Believer and Pioner look exactly the same on the eyes. So do Founder and Inspirer. The lighter shimmers look like they would be bright in the pan, but they are not. The mattes are just okay. Dry and not very blendable. I am light-medium skin tone, so these colors should work. There are much better palettes out there.

I have a lot of nude and neutral palettes, yet this one continues to stand out. The colors are buildable and stay on nicely, not dusty or patchy at all. I recommend using your favorite eyeshadow primer for staying power. This is one of the best maybelline products out there.
I can't believe this is Maybelline 5
Bocagal from Miami
This is really great. Blendable, lovely colors and 'age-friendly' shimmer shades. Just great. Highly recommend!
Easy to work with! 5
Joyfulheart56 from Kansas City, Mo
This palette is easy to work with and I love the looks I have been able to achieve. I also like how the intensity lasts all day with an eyeshadow primer.
Love the colors in this palette 5
ALee from Tallmadge
I am just starting to work with palettes, and I appreciated the colors that enabled me to have a great eye look! The price of this palette was very reasonable, too!
Amazing 5
Just Me from Mesa, AZ
The best Maybeline has put out for sure. Performs better than many of my high end palettes. Definitely recommend. Gorgeous neutral palette but with enough color depth to make it useful across the skin color spectrum.
Gorgeous Nude Shadows Are a Steal! 5
Ashley the Former Cosmetologist from San Diego, CA
I can't believe this was under $20! Every color is gorgeous and it wears like a $50+ pallet. The colors are buildable and the fallout is minimal at worst. You do need to use a white pencil or light concealer under some of the glittery colors to make them show, but that's pretty typical I think.
Great formula and color story! 5
Kelly K from Bolingbrook, IL
The formula is fantastic. It will last me almost the whole workday without an eyeshadow primer. Colors blend well. The price is right and the colors are perfect for a soft glam look for work.
Love the colors 4
Kelly M from New Mexico
I layer three different shadows, one being one of the cream/beige. I love the pigments.
Absolutely Stunning! 5
Evelyn B. from Dallas, TX
This is the very first palette I've ever owned and lemme tell ya'. It's so beautiful. The colors are so amazing. I'll be using this for a very long time😆
Wow 5
Allmees from San Antonio TX
This is by far the best eyeshadow pallet Maybelline has done. Works beautifully and lasts all day without primer. Great pallet for a beginner or someone who needs an updated neutral pallet and wants to save some cash. Either way it works. Hopefully Maybelline will do some colorful eyeshadow pallets with the improved formula.

Too Face copied Maybelline 5
Hi from FL
I really do think Too Face copies Maybelline. It has similar colors. But maybelline is good for light medium skin tone. The shimmer is medium color while Too Face is dark shimmer. Maybelline palette is very pigment and better than their old palette version.
FAVORITE PALETTE IN MY COLLECTION 5
KikiL from NorCal
I can't believe how incredibly good this palette is. It has mattes. It has shimmers. It has cool tones. It has warm tones. Each shade pulls its own weight. No unnecessary shades here. Each one has a role to play. No kick up. No fall out. Suuuuuuuper blendable. Beats out excellent high end palettes I have. It says on top of my vanity and I don't even want to use other shadows. This palette is an A+++!
Nice neutral palette that I reach for over and over again! 5
BrandiV from Winston Salem NC
This palette is wonderful! I have the soda pop and lemonade palette as well and this one is even better. The matte and shimmer shades are great for mixing and matching different looks for everyday. The shades blend well and are pigmented. I use an eye primer with it so it will last all day long.
AMAZING PALETTE!! 5
bby.robbie from Montgomery,Alabama
i freaking love this palette so much! it's a great palette for a beginner (like myself) and for pros! the formula is really good. the shadows are pigmented,smooth and creamy. they are pretty easy to blend which makes it great for beginners. the color story is the best. i was highly anticipated to buy it since they first released images and when Nikki Tutorials used the palette in a holiday look. highly recommend to anyone!
A must have 5
Jj from CA

Great affordable pallet 5
Alex from Hawaii
This is a gorgeous pallet and performs great for the price! It's became my go too. I bought it after seeing Taylor Wynn reccomened it and it was defiantly worth it!
So pretty 🥺🥺 5
Nani from Nyc
Very pigmented colors omg this pallet looks so much for expensive than what it is .
This. Palette. Is. Incredible. 5
Bre.ren from Shreveport, LA
If you have been thinking about buying this palette, you better do it fast! It will fly off the shelves as soon as the masses hype it up. It is sooo good. I used to carry my Colourpop Bare Necessities in my makeup bag every day (and dont get me wrong its still my fave) but I stopped because I started carrying this one because it is absolutely dependable for a great neutral look and is more compact than the CP BN. Its perfect for school or work and I love it so darn much! The "Heroine" shade is my perfect transition color. BTW, blends like a dream and the staying power is for hours. I usually get my shadows blended out before 10 am and they last until after 6 pm when I take my makeup off. This is using a matte concealer and setting it or using an eyeshadow primer.
Yep. As great as they say. 😊 5

I've been using this palette for a couple of weeks now and I totally love it. Beautiful formula and shades. This is a stand out palette. Excellent!!!!
MAYBELLINE PLEASE KEEP THESE COMING OUT!! 5

Best Maybelline Eyeshadow palette YET! 5
BeautyGuruMel from Illinois
I loved and still enjoy using Maybelline Eye Studio eyeshadow quads they made years back. They'd released limited edition quads off and on for over a year or two. I have them all. Some I have doubles of because to me they were small and easy to travel with plus they were the best eye shadow palettes Maybelline ever made..... UNTIL THIS HAPPENED!! Great job Maybelline team!! Now I'm anxiously awaiting them to release more palettes with this formula! Colors are pigmented and they do blend well (I recommend using a tacky base first but DON'T set it with powder) and the shimmers are nice but using Fix + to dampen your brush will help the metallic shades to POP...or apply shimmery shades with your finger. I highly recommend to try this palette!!
Great dupe for ABH Soft Glam and TF Nudes palette 5
MHR from Texas
This is a straight up dupe for these palettes. It lasts on me, it is blendable, and I have done different looks with it. Best Maybelline palette!
