Yes, I know the palette is a little old as it's from Shiseido's 2010 holiday release, but I really don't mind last season's makeup. Once it's applied, who can tell, right?
Anyway, the palette comes in a sleek, black, piano-finish case with an affinity for fingerprints. The press-clasp easily opens to reveal a mirror under the lid and a simple arrangement of (from left to right, top to bottom):
- Double-ended liner & lip brush
- Lip & Cheek Tint x1
- Eye Colour (aka. Eyeshadows) x2
- Eye Colour Base (aka. Primer) x1
- Cream (Gel) Eyeliner x1
- Blush x2
- Blusher brush
- Double-ended eyeshadow sponge
The colours were quite pigmented and super blendable on top of the primer. I had doubts about the wearability of the eyeshadows but brown on the eyelids blended into grey on corners worked pretty well for a work look. The lip tint was a surprisingly nice colour with a hint of gold. Blushes were slightly bright but can be easily blended out.
But I have gripes with the mini brushes. That tiny, dual-ended lip and eyeliner brush was difficult to grasp and control properly. Because of their small size, it also took a lot of swipes before I could build up enough colour on the brush to apply on my face.
I also didn't like the cream eyeliner. The product tended to leave clumps when I applied it with the brush, and faded easily with excessive blinking. Looks like if I was to wear the liner, I'll probably have to reapply every hour or so....
