Sure - here's the basic placement that I did from the palette - I used all shades except Dark Devotion:
Apply eyeshadow base of your choice (for this look I used MAC Untitled Paint)
Apply Gorgeous on inner 1/3 of eyelid, up through crease.
Apply Ambiance on out 2/3 of eyelid, up through crease, and blend into Gorgeous. Additionally, apply Ambiance under lower lashine.
Apply Satin Taupe lightly in the crease, blending into Gorgeous and Ambiance, and smudge lightly under lower lashline, over Ambiance.
Apply Carbon next to upper and lower lashlines, and in the very outer corners of lid, to create smokiness and depth.
Apply Scant as a highlight under brow.
I also used Forgery (not in the palette) to add a sparkled silver dimension to the look, as follows:
Apply Forgery (or other sparkled light silver) on "ball" of eyelid, and trace inner eye corners and edges of the entire eye design to add "halo" of sparkling silver.
Finally, I used the UD pencil on upper/lower lashlines and the waterline.
Hope this is clear, and thanks for asking.
