Products:
I have 2 of the MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Shadow formula with this set.

The Mattes of M500 Ivory and M540 Gray Beige are both nicely pigmented and smooth to apply. I did find that the M540 Gray Beige was slightly more sheer by nature but if you're looking to use that colour as a crease for the eye or as a contour shade for a fair skin that sheerness helps to build up and buff out to the level of intensity to this shade on the skin. It can catch on the skin though as it likes a sticky base so go back in, to insanity and buff out this colour. The M500 Ivory shade I found can be more intense but can be sheered out to almost nothing on the skin with no issues.

I804 Golden Pink shade is technically an iridescent blush but it can be used and an eyeshadow as well. The texture was smooth and again the shadow could be sheered out nicely on the skin as a blush or packed on for a shadow.

Colour:
M500 Ivory is a pale off white ivory with a matte finish.
M540 Gray Beige is a cool neutral brown taupe with a matte finish.
I804 Golden Pink is an intense watermelon pink with gold micro-shimmer and a satin/pearl finish.

Wear: 
They last 6-7 hours on their own for the eyes, and on my face, they lasted 10+ hours over foundation

Packaging:
The eyeshadow pans are housed in simple plastic snap closed case and you can get a single, duo, or trio palette for $1 to house them in. The palettes have a magnet in the well and enough room to put in a hole to pop out the shadows from.

 Daylight swatches: M500 Ivory, & M540 Gray Beige (heavy and buffed out).

Flash swatches: M500 Ivory, &  M540 Gray Beige (heavy and buffed out).

 Daylight swatches: I804 Golden Pink (heavy and buffed out).

Flash swatches: I804 Golden Pink (heavy and buffed out).

Verdict: 
These are heavenly. I bought these shades not just for shadow but also to highlight, Contour and blush my face and I have been using these for over a year now with no complaints.
