I know people highly rate CT palettes but I was disappointed with mine. I’ve got brown skin and I really need a little more pigment in my shadows to get the best effects and although I always use a primer and take the time to build the colours up, I’ve never found the shadows to last very long on my lids. My Anastasia Beverly Hills palettes are far superior in staying power and blendability and for roughly the same price, you get a wider range of colours and a better quality product from ABH. My favourite shadows for pigment and lasting power are Pat McGrath shadows but the prices of the palettes are not comparable. Show less
