If you’re looking for color, the new Norvina palettes for ABH are lovely. Three volumes so it covers most of the color spectrum, and pressed pigments so the color payoff is lovely. A bit pricy, but you get a lot of shadows and the pans are quite large. I also appreciate the enormous high quality mirror included inside for those days you are getting ready on the fly.

Colorpop’s shadows are quite nice for the price. Mattes blend pretty easily and their pigment is nice, and shimmers are decent. Though like others I’d recommend their Super Shock singles if you want those really intense shimmer or metallic finishes. Also, in terms of swatches as mentioned above, I’ve personally found that a finger swatch doesn’t really show you much in terms of actual performance when applied to the eye. So take those statements with a grain of salt.

This is my fav!
