Smashbox Full Exposure MINI

New to high end and more expensive make up brands and want to try some out? Without committing to a $60+ price tag, you can purchase Smashbox's baby Full Exposure pallet. For only 22 dollars you get four matte, and four shimmer shadows in natural shades. 

      Can you tell which one is my favorite? Haha! I used this pallet for a New Years Eve look that I was too slow to post about. The shimmer shades are gorgeous, but beware if you don't like chunky glitter on your eyes. I used S3, the second from the left, on my lower lash line. It gave such a beautiful pop & shine and complimented my dark eyes. Do note that the shimmers work best with a "patting" method on a primer, rather than a swipe. That decreases fall out indefinitely. As well as the shimmers, the mattes are amazing. All four are creamy and highly pigmented. I love using M4, the third one from the right, on my brow bone for an everyday look. They are a great set of neutrals, great starter pallet for any newbie.
