This is the basic Ben Nye Lumiere palette that comes in the cool metal case, retail is $60ish.

Room Lighting vs. Flash of palette:

Swatches on my driver's arm (which is pretty tan, probably NC20), over UDPP. Ben Nye products listed with BN, MAC has no prefix. I only swatched MAC colors that I had which were similar to the palette colors.

To get an idea of color payoff, I only swiped my brush over the Ben Nye shadows once, and I swiped over MAC twice.

Top row of palette = 2nd row on my arm, top to bottom; bottom row of palette = 1st row on my arm, top to bottom.

Now the Ben Nye vs. MAC swatch. Sorry this is large, I made it the max resolution this forum will allow so that the colors stay as true as the photo would allow.
