I love this! It is a pure pigment palette, so a little dab will do ya, like you're taught in kindergarden. These are complimentary colors from the color wheel, so if you blend them all together in your crease, it will turn gray. That being said, you really don't need to blend many colors together to get stunning, highly pigmented looks. Just touch your brush in the color, tap it off, & place it where you want the most pigment to appear, then diffuse the color, while building slowly. That's how I apply eyeshadows, slowly building, until I get my disired blend. I've been waiting for a unique & beautiful palette like this and I feel ABH nailed it again! I have no issues at all. I've been using it everyday since I've had it and have gotten many compliments. I work long 12 hour shifts at a hospital and had zero fadeing, so I'm happy. I feel this is what ABH intended and I feel they were spot on. Yes, there is fallout, do your eyes first, same as the MR Palette, but these are even more pigmented. I'm so happy I trusted my gut and not all the negative reviews that clearly created way too much unnecessary drama. If you're not sure, go to the store and play with it to see if it's something that will work for you. It definitely works for me! « less
