Edward Bess Prismette Eyeshadow Quad: Over the Moon

This palette was given to me to try out for work along with some other Edward Bess products, and I'll tell you, I was a bit skeptical at first. I thought three of the shadows were too dark, two were too similar, and the last cream shade wouldn't show up. I was wrong.

This palette* has become my absolute favorite, and I've been wearing these shadows every day for the past month. I love them. With my base, they last all day until I take off my makeup at night, and they're a dream to apply. They just blend so nicely. The pigmentation is great, so I just dip my brush in and get the smallest amount of product. I have to tap off my brush if I accidentally pick up too much color to avoid fallout, though. They're also super buildable, so they just make it really easy to get a great look. I also like how there isn't much shimmer. The two middle colors have a bit that gets blended away, but the two outside colors are completely matte, which I love. 

My go-to everyday look, after I've applied my beloved Edward Bess Illuminating Eyeshadow Base in Suede*, is the lightest color all over the lid, the second lightest along the lower lash line, the second darkest in the crease (sometimes I mix it with the lightest color to soften the look) blended out with the lightest color, and the darkest wiggled into the top lash line and through the brows. Yes, it is the perfect brow color for me. I have dark brows, so this looks so natural on me, and it's very cool, too. This is just such a natural look, and I'm so obsessed with this palette. If I even want to go for a more dramatic look at night, I just use the darker colors. I also have been skipping eyeliner lately, because the Edward Bess mascara* has been giving my eyes enough definition along with the shadows. 

Of course, I have to mention packaging. It's gorgeous and chic, and I love the velvet pouch it comes it. It just feels luxurious. The brush it comes with isn't bad at all either, but I still use my Trish McEvoy brushes*.

Overall, I'm so glad I have this palette. I've gotten use out of every color, which surprised me. The only con is that I've been neglecting my other shadows! Also, the price is a con, because it is definitely very expensive.
