Huge disappointment
With MAC you expect the colors to be bold and rich, and this palette was a huge disappointment. I just tried it for the first time, and the colors are not rich at all. In particular, the one I was most excited about was the Teal at the bottom right of the palette and it just goes on as a bit of sparkle with no color at all. I would NOT recommend this product. I would return it if I could.
Love it!
Beautiful colors! The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is they aren’t the most pigmented, but they are definitely buildable so it’s not a problem. Really makes my green eyes pop!

No
I have been a MAC girl for 20 years but this pigment is very low quality. Not something I would expect from MAC or any designer makeup. To get the most out of this palette, you have to wet the brushes before application. I think they know this that's why they knocked the price down.

Pretty colors
While the vibrant colors are exquisite, this item was delivered “damaged”. The packaging was in tact, as was the case that holds the eye shadows. But when the case is opened, it is evident that the individual colors (which are powder) have drifted into the other colors. In some cases the “pots” of shadow fell out, onto the mirror, onto other colors, onto my vanity, into my sink. It made a genuine mess just as I was prepared to try the shadows before leaving my house. I am considerably disappointed since I had spent several weeks debating whether or not to splurge on this item for myself. Perhaps the manufacturer could introduce a protective covering over the shadows to keep each color in their own pot, protecting them during transport. Further, it would be helpful if there was some type of warning written on that covering noting the color powders will mix if the container is not held/stowed at a level parallel to the floor. I DO NOT RECOMMEND AND WILL RETURN.
Terrible fallout, low pigmentation
So very disappointed in this pallet. I'm a huge MAC fan and bought this pallet for my teenaged daughter as her very first make up. I wanted her to start out with quality. Wish I'd tried it out in the shop first. She ended up with a mess of glitters and colours below her eyes and on her cheeks and hardly any, where it should be. Massive fallout, hard to blend and hardly any pigmentation. Thought it might be her lack of skill, but I had the same result. I'm not a pro, but I certainly have enough skills. The matt tones are pretty and blend well and I love the shimmery white, but that's 4 out of 12. So disappointed.

Thank you for being a longtime fan, Tamara! We're sorry to hear the shimmery shades aren't meeting your expectations. The larger fleck of pigment that creates the reflective shimmer can be trickier to adhere to the skin. Using a base before applying will help grab the colour. Take a look at Pro Longwear Paint Pot. Just a sheer layer is needed to ensure a more saturated application. It also prolongs wear and helps prevent creasing. You can also use our shadows wet, which will provide an excellent colour payoff. Use a flat shadow brush with the shimmery shades and use a pressing motion to minimize fall-out. We hope these tips help! We want you to love all your MAC products. If not completely satisfied, please reach out to the original purchase location for return/exchange details.
Do Not Buy This
I was gifted this palette and I wish I had not opened it and tried it so enthusiastically. I'd return/exchange it in a heartbeat, if I could. The fall out is too much, it does not blend at all, no pigmentation and the sparkle shades have no colour in them (they fall out the most).

We appreciate your feedback, Priyanka! We'd love to recommend some tips to ensure you achieve a rich saturation of colour from your shadows. Using an eyeshadow base before powder shadows will help to grab colour and keep it on longer. Take a look at Pro Longwear Paint Pot for priming your lids: http://bit.ly/MACPaintPots_. Just a sheer layer is needed! Use a flat brush (like 239 Eye Shader Brush: http://bit.ly/MACBrushes_) to pick up the shadow. Tap off excess and press the colour onto the lids to minimize fallout. You can also use these shadows wet. This will result in a vibrant ultra-metallic finish! Chat with an Artist here: https://bit.ly/MACLiveChat_USA for more great tips and tricks.
Fun palette!
There's a lot of cute colors in here and some basic neutrals too. It has the right mix of textures, although the shimmers fall a bit flat, in my opinion. The white shade is sheer and glittery. I really enjoyed the cream colored base shade. It was a very creamy formula for that shade. Since I have light skin, I felt like the three lightest colors came in handy to lighten up the darker shades. I created a pretty cool purple look, but it took a lot of building with the lighter purple and once I had the darker purple shimmer on it didn't look shimmery at all. I tried application with a brush and with a finger and neither gave me a glittery finish. It still looked cute, just a lot more matte than expected based on the shadows in the pan. This is still a fantastic palette and the lasting power was decent for a purple shade. They tend to fade rather fast and this one still looked good throughout the day despite some minor fading. This palette required some extra work when blending compared to some of my other high-end eyeshadow but I'm still happy with the palette and I'm enjoying using it. My included photo of the palette is in natural sunlight.

Beautiful colors
Love the color pallet. The glitter is sparkly and the matt is soft and opaque. Colors wear beautifully and all day long.
