Products:
The Matte shades are both smooth and pigmented to work with. They best mattes in the drugstore I've every worked with and reminds me of a step-down version of MAC's Matte2 formula but much nicer than their standard Matte formula.
The Shimmer shades were also smooth to work with a very pigmented.
The Illuminator is the worst part of these palettes. They are a sheer shimmery white pearl but the formula was VERY emollient and you need to set with a powder which kind of defeats the purpose of having it as a hilighter. I throw then out after depotting these palettes.
The Primer is a was based cream that applies sheer. It didn't prolong the wear of any eyeshadow I tried with it but it's more like the NYX jumbo pencil and helps to intensify any colour put over it.
