My Take: Since I always use a close-to-my-own-skintone base color on my lids before applying any color, I really like that this has 4 basics inside. And they can be used for contouring if you dab a little of this color and mix it with a little of that!

I’m pretty sure these shadows are what they called “baked” so they can have more fall out than regular press shadows, though I didn’t notice much. Maybe they just look like they are baked. Anyway, I found applying the colors on the right side with my finger was best.
