Sigma Beauty Cool Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette

I love the colors. The colors are highly pigmented and wear well. I like that the palette has a built in mirror and dual sides brush.

This is a perfect palette for every day plus special occasion! The mattes are perfect and they pair beautifully with each metallic. Everything you try comes out pretty with minimal effort.

The cool neutrals palette isn't strictly cool-toned, but it works in this palette. There are some slightly warm tones that can contrast enough to give a beautiful, balanced look, or you can go all cool. The Sigma formula is really good, but I am noticing that the mattes perform better than the shimmers (for me). I'm not a big fan of the 'topper' formula and there are a couple in here. I do prefer a straight shimmer, I think they are softer and give more impact. Just my personal preference, though. Overall, this is a great performing, beautiful fall palette.

Great pigmentation and colors look as expected!

I really like this palette. I don't do makeup as often as I used to and needed to replace some of my older palettes and I found this to be a great option for daily wear. I've never heard of the brand and was a little wary but it proved itself worth the price tag. I would put this on par with the urban decay naked series in terms of pigmentation, texture, and color types.The shimmer is pretty pigmented but I find it works best if I pack it on with my finger, not a brush. The mattes blend beautifully and work really well as a subtle contouring type of look, especially the brown shades. There is enough color to add drama though, and I find myself gravitating towards the pink/purple undertone shades. I think they look good with my green eyes. The dark colors are very pigmented and don't require much to pack a punch. There was some fall out but not too bad. And I like that they blended well with the lighter shades easily. I needed a fluffy brush for blending and it worked seamlessly. The cool tones suited me well, I am white and fairly pale and they were all very pigmented without being garish on me. While the shades would probably look different, I think they are pigmented enough to work well on medium to dark skin as well.I like that the color story is consistent and there are so many combinations you can make. I think they're well arranged, in that they blend well with their neighboring colors. Its like getting six duos/trios/quads, you can make a great look with four colors and going across the board makes really nice combinations depending on that days palette. My favorite combination is fossil/laguna/talisman and brazil/harvest. Onyx/talisman/thunder made for a gorgeous smokey eye too! Also, the names are pretty cool. Small details that I only appreciate when I try to talk about them here.The one thing I will say is that I wish there was a brighter white/nude shade, as even the lightest tan is too dark to use as a highlight/matte base layer for me. However, I will say that I am pretty pale and I think anyone with a medium to dark skin tone would find the light tans to be a very complimentary shade to be a highlight without being clown white. It is nice to see a palette that can be inclusive in that way and there are more than enough highlight shades for me to use on the side that it does not bother me or detract from the quality!Going into this with no expectations or preconceived notions of the brand, and only a guess at the quality due to the price tag, I am pleasantly surprised to find my new go to palette. It is appropriately priced and on par with other palettes in that range. It is not something I would buy blind, as that is a notable investment, but I think the quality does justify the price for anyone experienced and it is easy enough to work with for beginners, unlike some lower end palettes that make it much harder to blend or create cohesive color palettes.Overall, I would highly recommend this!

I had never heard of the Sigma brand before I found this eyeshadow palette, but I am obsessed. It is very high-quality, and I use it on a daily basis, only needing just a little bit to do the job. It has lasted me for a long time and the colors are so pretty, they don’t tend to smudge and stay in place once applied. The powder is smooth and not gritty. The included brush has two different sides to it, and a little place in the palette for storage, along with a mirror. I love the neutral colors that are included as they can go with pretty much anything.

Beautiful eyeshadow palette. Interesting color story in a variety of cool toned mattes, metallics and glitters. The formula is velvety and creamy. The eyeshadows apply evenly without patchiness.I used a primer and both the included dual-ended eyeshadow brush as well as my own eyeshadow brushes for application. The pre-packaged dual-ended eyeshadow brush is just okay. I'd use it in a pinch, but I found that my own eyeshadow brushes worked better for application.A few of the lighter matte colors were translucent and needed more than one layer for vibrancy. A couple of these hues were different in the pan than how they appeared on my skin. Harvest - a clay-brown matte looked more like a dark bruised purplish-gray. This could be due to my undertones. I don't know.The metallics and glitters were very bright and saturated. They only needed one swipe for coverage. It was easier to apply the metallics and glitters using my fingertips or old school sponge-tipped eyeshadow brushes.There was a little fallout. It wasn't too harsh, but it's noticeable enough. The eyeshadow can be easily buffed out for a gentler look.It's not often that eyeshadow palettes are available in cool tones.. Although some of the light-hued matte colors needed layering to become noticeable on my medium olive skin, the formula wasn't heavy on my eyelids. A couple of the colors didn't look the same on my skin as they appeared in the pan, but the colors produced were still quite nice colors.The eyeshadow formulation is a powder, yet it applies smoothly like a cream. I didn't notice any patchiness.The colors are quite easy to blend...especially using a fluffy eyeshadow brush. After hours of wear, there was a little fading; but no noticeable creasing or smudging.This eyeshadow wasn't difficult to remove. Just a couple of swipes of micro cellar water. There was no skin irritation or eyelid staining.There are so many different looks that you can achieve using this eyeshadow palette. It can take you from laidback, low-key casual to eye-catching, high-key glam and every look in-between.I recommend the Sigma Beauty cool neutrals eyeshadow palette to anyone in search of a well-rounded, versatile, cool-toned eyeshadow palette.
