Retailing for $55 (total net weight 0.75 oz/ 21.3 g), this 12-color neutral palette in varying finish and texture is housed in a sturdy and chic black cardboard box with magnetic closure. It comes with a double-ended eyeshadow brush and mirror big enough to use when applying makeup.

There are five mattes (Bask, Veil, Ascend, Wane, Downfall), five shimmers (Afterglow, Pulse, Muse, Impact, Out There), and two sheens with glittery particles (Shroud, Immortal). The shimmers are buttery-soft while mattes are velvety-to-touch. Applied over eye primer, they blend seamless with commendable wear time of seven to eight hours.

Bask is creamy matte

Afterglow is shimmery light beige

Pulse is shimmery light peach

Veil is cool tone matte brown

Muse is shimmery antique gold

Ascend is matte light soft tan 

Wane is matte rich medium brown

Impact is shimmery rose copper

Downfall is matte dark brown

Out There is shimmery pewter

Shroud is charcoal gray with glitters

Immortal is charcoal black with glitters

I used Downfall on my eyebrows, Wane on crease and Impact on lids. I kept the rest of my makeup pretty simple to compliment the neutrality of it all.
