This is a great example of the classic rule: don't judge a book by its cover. Technically I didn't really do that since I've used other Models Prefer products before and I was very happy with their results but with this one I'm a little bit underwhelmed.
Let's just start with the elephant in the room: the eyeshadows. Although, the palette provides us with a total of 48 eyeshadow shades, the brighter shades (pinks, greens, purples and blues) are barely strong enough to make any visual impact. Given I have dark skin, I decided I should use the trick of applying on white eyeshadow first before I made any solid conclusions. The result: it barely made a difference with only a thin layer of colour being visible around my eyes.
The only solution to combat this is to apply copious amounts of eyeshadow to my eye lids but with the small serving sizes of each colour, I'll run out within weeks.
However, there are some positives that are found in the blush and the darker eyeshadow shades. Unlike their brighter counterpoints, the darker shades create a much more defining look and with the variety of colours, allows for some interesting blending. The blush however is the cream of the crop. The variety of shades allows you to create a variety of looks from just slightly tan to a cute doll face. The brown square pot is also great for contouring.
All in all, I've got mixes feelings for this product. I would rate it 2/5.
