Earth Metals Palette - GES06

Fourteen shades and not one dud in the bunch, which never happens with neutral palettes. The mattes blend out in seconds and the shimmers actually show up without a wet brush. Wore the cool taupe through a nine-hour workday and it hadn't creased by dinner.

I've been reaching for the warm neutrals on weekdays and the cooler taupes when I want something smokier, and both blend without any fallout. The 14 shades cover more ground than I expected from one palette.

The 14 shades split so nicely between warm and cool that I can do a quick neutral work look or build up something smokier for dinner without grabbing a second palette. The metallic ones blend smoother than the matte shades, which took me a try or two to figure out.
