After all the reviews I thought this neutral palette would be perfect for my fair/porcelain skin tone. For reference, I'm a perfect match for the Alpine Rose foundation (porcelain with pinkish undertone). First time I went to use this, I was surprised by the amount of product my makeup brushes picked up after barely a swipe of the makeup, and how much went on my face despite tapping excess off first. Looked a bit heavy. This was a bigger issue with the blush than the eye shadow. Since then I have practiced having an even lighter touch and I am not having as much of an issue. Now that I know a little goes a long way, I am confident this makeup will last me much longer than expected, which is great considering the price. The neutral eye colors are very nice. The blush is a little bit deeper of a shade than I expected and a little goes a long way. Staying power seems quite good. Overall I think I still prefer the color range of the Physician's Formula neutral eye shadow palette that I was using prior to this, but these are pretty good and of course all natural. Some have complained about how it doesn't have a built-in mirror or come with any brushes, but I have come to prefer my full size brush set over any typical brush that one usually gets with a makeup kit. I also prefer a regular wall mirror over one in any compact. But, I don't generally reapply eye makeup through the day, so I guess I just don't need it in the compact. I would say if I have one petty issue with this palette it is simply how large the whole package is overall. Not a big deal as I don't carry eye makeup around in my purse everyday, but for travel (as I write this, I have a trip to pack for tonight), this is awfully big to try and fit into my travel toiletries/makeup bag. I am going to have to leave it at home and take the Physician's Formula palette with me instead because it is more compact.
