Review: E.L.F. Everyday Eye Palette + Swatches

First off, I know not to expect too much from E.L.F. eyeshadows, usually they run a little less in the pigmentation department and have a quite chalky texture. Usually E.L.F. eyeshadows aren't recommended for blending either. I've been purchasing from E.L.F. for about 4 years now, so I know a little bit about their products. At first glance I wasn't really impressed with the color choices on this palette, lots of neutrals, then a couple random purples and a dark navy blue.

As far as pigmentation goes, all the shimmer shadows are decent. But for the matte colors, an absolute thumbs down. They also are very chalky and it's very hard to pick up color. One of the natural shimmer shadows reminds me of the color 'Sin' from Urban Decay. Primer is recommended if you use these shadows, but they aren't very long lasting so I don't suggest wearing it all day, maybe for only a few hours.

Swatches:

I would recommend this palette to those just starting out with makeup and don't know too much about it. But for those who've been around makeup and know about quality stuff, don't go for this.
