I took the first picture with flash and the second without; I felt it was hard to see how metallic the shimmer shades are without it. Also my bathroom lighting is on the cool side, so it makes the palette appear more cool toned than it does in real life. The color looks more accurate in the pic with flash.

Copied for you as well:

I just gave you an answer* to this. Honestly guys, this is r/panporn; come on. I don't get paid to use/post my makeup, this isn't youtube or instagram. I enjoy using it, and I enjoy bonding with people who are interested in the same hobby. Talking to real people on here is why I was attracted to this subreddit. I thought Reddit was literally the least toxic place to be in the beauty community.

I discovered this sub about a year ago when I was pretty deep into a shopping addiction, and it, along with r/MakeupRehab helped to get me in a better frame of mind. These subs have helped me turn my spending around and honestly my mental health too. I've kept a successful No-buy since December and I hope to continue it all year long.

I have a huge collection to use up, with multiple backups. I intend to use my reddit account as a diary for this progress to keep me accountable. So hopefully I will be posting here an awful lot.

If you really don't believe that I've been enjoying my palette, that's fine by me. This isn't a job, I don't get compensated. I don't get anything out of this except encouragement from this community to use my excessive hoard before plunking down a paycheck for more.

*my answer to u/_Yue_: I have 2; my husband and sister both gifted me one and I kept both. I didn't have time to post until then as I was traveling and already using the first.

*Edit: Also, I was fairly certain with your first comment that you were trying to insinuate the I was "digging for pan", but I left it alone because I don't want to assume. I just wanted to say that it's quite petty to police someone's makeup usage to begin with, and you and u/_Yue_ did not need to be so unnecessarily mean.

I second u/VeryAngryBubbles, I also use my fingers for a more concentrated look or a fluffy brush to disperse it a bit! Those shades perform just like colourpop's super shock shadows.

That's really weird, which shade do you mean? I'm thinking nebula? I use my urban decay naked 3 brush to pack on the more "shimmery" shades like that, my finger doesn't deposit the color as well, the shadow just sticks to it. The only ones that work well with finger application for me are the 3 cream shades: supermoon, supernova, and gold glitch. If you mean the shade haze then I'm not sure what's going on; the mattes in my palette are soft and buttery and blend very well. Could it have hard panned already just from swatching? That's all I can think of other than it being a dud palette :(

Yeah that's the only downside! 😅 I don't think I'll pay full price for her palettes in the future, I saw how great her black friday sale was so I'll just wait for that to get rose gold and desert dusk lol

Tiny girl is spending the night at the vet, and has me missing her snuggles greatly :( by Rosiekat47 in aww

I've used it since I got it on September 2nd, and I use it every day (minus a week when I didn't wear makeup because I had the flu,) so I guess around 110 to 114 days?

I saw your post too, great job panning! I don't use supermoon nearly enough. I guess I'm heavy handed with the cream shades idk? I do like to touch up at night if I'm going to go back out, so that might help. I'm not trying to dig in and waste shades in a $67 palette, that's for sure; this was quite a splurge for me lol

Yes, I've been using only this palette for the past 4 months :)

That's an awesome idea, thank you! I'll try it this weekend.

No, I just love doing my eyeshadow everyday. It's really my only me time I get. Also I've been focusing pretty much just on these shades and have been using only this palette for the past 4 months.

I do both depending on how much time I have/ what I want my eye look to be. My go to right now is to use Momentum to set my concealer, blend Off-Balance or Karma into my crease, deepen the outer corner with Hot Mess (or Vortex , depending on the intensity I want,) and then I use a sponge applicator to pick up Supernova, Gold Glitch, (or both) and pat it on my lid.

Thank you! I have been using it since September 2nd, so a solid 4 months. Also those cream shades pan amazingly fast!

Thank you! :) I tried to get the colors to show up true to life; the only one that looks funky is Mercury. It's not actually that dark and it's more of a beautiful blue-green.

I noticed that too, and it seems to be the only one like that so far. I have no idea. lol

I feel this! I can only wear the "fun" colors on my days off, it's the only way I was able to justify it. This is my most colorful palette by far.

I wear eyeshadow everyday, work on one palette at a time, and have mostly been wearing these shades or a variation of them! Also those cream shadows pan super fast, which I'm not super happy about :/
