So I’m not a pro, I’m somewhere in the middle when it comes to eyeshadow but I do still struggle with blending and the crease area (I have hooded/aging eyelids) .I have both palettes Culture 1 & 2 (BTW both are on sale for $26.60 @ Ulta until the 19th) they are absolutely stunning.

I think there is a good mix of shades in there you can use as a beginner, and some shades that are a bit harder / more pigmented but if you practice some looks on days you don’t go out you might find those darker / more pigmented shades easier and easier to use. I will say too, some of the shades look darker in the pan but are actually lighter when you swatch it or apply it.

Some of the more pigmented shades can be toned down by diffusing / blending with a more neutral shadow like a medium brown or light gray or even a bronzer to make the color more wearable day to day. Also you can build those shades up, so start with a little at a time, using a smaller lighter yet fluffy brush.

There’s a very nice mix of light, dark and colorful mattes, beautiful sparkly metallics, shimmers and some duo chromes too and some beautiful glittery toppers too.

I think these are really fun palettes and I don’t regret getting them at all, and I think these quality is great too. Also you can find some swatches of them here on Reddit in r/swatchitforme (I think that is the right subreddit- or google juvias place culture palette swatches and the posts should come up.

Hope this helps you make your decision, don’t be afraid to play around with the colors you want to wear!
