All of the colors blend very easily and most shades look vibrant already with an eyeshadow base. The variety of colors in the palette allows for various looks and highlighting and contouring. This is a great palette I think adding a mirror would make it even better and easier to use for those who like to travel with palettes like this.

A – a shimmery turquoise in the pan but when applied the color it looks like a grey-blue
B – glittery gold that doesn’t show up as well as the other shades
C – a shimmery electric blue that’s just a beautiful shade
D – a shimmery yellow bronze
E – a matte bronzer that matches most skin types
F – a matte rosy pink blush, can be mixed with the bronzer to create a new darker shade
G – a shimmery lilac purple, very blendable
H – a matte white good for highlighting under the brows
I – a matte nude brown for contouring as the crease
J – a dark matte brown with gold glitter
