Smokey eye shade

I'm in the Music industry, and I have to keep myself glammed up, as I'm often photographed, have to get up on stage, & I do my music news broadcasts. To this end, I have a big, rolling, 5-part, professional makeup case ( I own 2 that I bought on Amazon, and LOVE them!!!) full to bursting, in addition to several other boxes & cases full of makeup.Most of my makeup is of the quite pricey category, including: M.A.C., Urban Decay, Kat Von D, etc. However, I've tried more than a few brands like AFFLANO: unknown, cheap, & from China. Because the colors look vibrant, promise unique effects, or my glass-half-full heart believes that this time it will be a different outcome. Yet I end up throwing away about 85-90% of what I've bought, for the same reasons that I bought them! The colors are dull, the "unique effect" doesn't work in the real world, or they're just plain useless, because: they're sticky, or they don't stick to them skin even with primer & foiling technique, or worse yet, they ruin my skin (making it dry, oily, break out, blister, or swell up like a painful balloon!) So I was VERY skeptical when I saw AFFLANO's ad, but since they weren't too expensive, I decided to pick one up- and I've been addicted ever since! I would put these in the same category as Jeffrey Star's pallets. The consistency is silky, like a slippery talc powder, the colors rich, deep, & some seem to be almost 3D because of the mixture of the colors that they've used as well as the type of powder: matte, shimmer, etc., & with a primer (I use Urban Decay,) they stay on and vibrant all day!I've become SO enamored with these palettes that I've been buying them one after the other! I've got thousands of dollars worth of makeup, so my husband - who is the Love Of My Life, not because he indulges me, but the fact that he DOES support of my liittle hobby of collecting MANY different kinds of makeup and enjoying using my face as a canvas for my art- is certainly endearing! This is my 3rd palette, I now have the green, purple, & blue. I've also found another seller on here selling sets of 3 coordinating colors, which goes with these palettes perfectly. Most of all, I'm excited because I've found that there are more AFFLANO palettes, such as 2 different types of white-black palettes, 2 different red bora be palettes (available from other sellers,) that I'm going to get after I buy the white/pink/red palette! These are WORTH the price, + more! This is a little hidden gem that you just CAN'T let pass you by!!

Very bright and colors actually stick! Greens are my favorite!!

Update...1 ur later some other purple shadows also stain which I was not aware of so I just might buy this again because the colors are so pretty! I was too harsh at first until I learnt more about using such rich deep colors.I bought this eyeshadow palette since purple is my favorite color BUT the very first time I uses it, I had it on for about 4 hrs and when I tried removing the eyeshadow THE COLORS STAINED MY EYE LIDS!! I HAD TO WASH MY EYES 8 TIMES BUT COULD NOT REMOVE THE Red STAINS!! Beware !!! The colors are beautiful, blend very well amd apply smoothly BUT when it comes to remove your eye makeup, the stains will still be on your eyes until 2 days later! The pigment is great But dont know if they used a permanent color stain when making this palette. Such a shame!! Great colors worked well blended super and the price was great BUT not useable I'd it stains your eyelids permanently!!!Buy UCANBE PALETTES INSTEAD, those are beautiful low price amd won't stain!!!

i’ve bought from this brand in the past (Afflano), and they typically make very good good quality palettes for a low-ish price, however i am a bit disappointed by this palette. its worth the price, however its defintely lower quality than the smaller red and black palette they have. the white is very pigmented and the black is decent, the glittery ones are great! i HIGHLY recommend the red and black palette they have rather than this one unless you’re looking for grey-scale glitter eyeshadow! the black and the white eyeshadow in the red palette is extremely pigmented and has lasted me so long!one issue i have with this palette, specifically the packaging is that i opened it and it was dirty, which did make me nervous.. but it could’ve been a shipping issue.overall, this palette is a solid 7-8/10!

I love this palette I use it for theatre and for when im felling spunky. Great Pigment as well no need for liquid eyeshadow base.

These colors are what I need! I was sad though to see the dark green color crushed and shedding through the packaging. I am sure that happens through shipping, but still unfortunate.

I love this palette so much. It’s good for stage, party, and just cute, subtle makeup looks. I’ve worn this palette many different times using different colors and it’s genuinely stunning every time.

very good quality eyeshadow for cheap stuff on amazon, ive used this for a while and it definitely doesnt run out fast. sometimes it comes off quickly but i dont use setting spray and im very amateur at makeup so that might be on me. its pretty easy to put on, i literally just use my finger and blending always goes well. its a moderate size that is good to travel with, and i love how it looks if youre going for a goth or emo look

Palette is exactly how described. Nice dark shades.

Wunderschöne Farben, stark pigmentiert, langer Halt

Thick and rich colours, pleasing to use. Got them for my husband to use in panto but keep trying to steal them.

Magnifique palette, les couleurs sont tel que sur la photo et reste toute la journée !

Belle palette
