I guess this palette is supposed to be multipurpose? I will definitely play with it. I will try them as shadows and then, after the designs has kinda dulled, I will swirl it all together and try it on my cheeks. I can't wait to play with it. I think it will do interesting things to my complexion. Brands like Guerlain that have these intricate designs put me off because I don't want to work around the design. This is the first palette of it's kind that has made me excited. I find the colors appealing. The one thing that would stop me from buying this is if the colors aren't pigmented.
