The eyeshadows have amazing pigmentation that can easily be built up. The eyeshadows are a nice matte colour that I personally prefer wearing everyday. As much as I love shimmery eyeshadows, matte colours can be built up to a dark shade without it looking too overdone. When trying to achieve a dark colour with shimmery eyeshadows, it does get a bit much. These are great value! Rush over to a Dischem near you to find these in the sales section.
