Ornate pallet

9 colors new in box is a darker, more red and copper-based color story that included five matte eyeshadows, one sparkly matte eyeshadow, and three shimmer eyeshadows. All nine eyeshadows had semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation, were blendable, and had decent longevity. A few shades, though, were a little more on the powdery side or felt more loosely-pressed, so I'd recommend using a lighter hand when working with this palette.
