When I first heard about the smoky palette coming out, I was skeptical. I thought it would be dark colors that would only be wearable for a smoky eye or night on the town look, so not something that I could wear day to day at work.
I was pleasantly surprised. The colors were much lighter with a single swipe on the lid than they led me to believe.

Some shades perform better than others, I loved Smolder but couldn't always get High to perform as well.
Here is a look that I wore to work and out several times.
Yep, my shirt says Genius!! |
In this look, I used Whiskey and Combust as my blending shades above my lid, Smolder on my outer V and DirtySweet on my mobile lid. This is a lighter version of the look, but adding more color and blending more quickly darkens the look!
Overall, this is a great palette for fall. Colors are on trend and will go into the winter months well. If you are a fan of the other Naked palettes then you will love this one. There were some negative reviews that I came across but as long as you are using a good primer then the staying power of these shadows should be fine. Also, if you start out with small amounts of color then they should not be muddy when applied.
Great purchase and no regrets here!!
