Quick Take: good colors, little big
The packing did surprise me. It was a lot bigger than I thought, a little like my iphone, but wider. I did read that the picture isn't accurate and its true. There's no brush and the shadows are in a circular shape. They need to change the picture.
I do love the colors. They are mostly colors I normally would use. The blue comes off really strong so be careful, just dab a little.

sephora is fun
-05.24.13
Quick Take: portable, good value
I have blue eyes but wanted to try this palette. I like it. I love the navy on lower lashes. The 2 lighter colors are good also for highlights and a summer look. The gold or whatever it's called is a great color. I will eventually work with the other colors too.

AMAZING!!
-05.12.13
Quick Take: portable, good value
I got this palette on a whim a while ago and thank god I did because it is amazing!! It can be used for so many different looks day or night. The colors are beautiful and the payoff is great. Smash box eyeshadow are always so bendable and great quality. They knew what they were doing with choosing the colors for brown eyes because it most definitely makes them pop! Every brown eyed girl needs this in her life!

Loved the colors
-05.11.13
I purchased the brown eye palette last week and immediately noticed that the shadows didn't last long. I tried primer and concealer underneath but after a few hours the colors vanished. I ended up returning them for Sephora's version and so far I'm highly satisfied.

Quick Take: good value
It is to apply with the tutorial on the back of the box and the two set of different looks can meet the demand for both everyday makeup and a night out.. The brushes in it s good to se too.. Love it.

Photo Op for Brown Eyes
-05.05.13
Quick Take: good even without applicator
I really love this...had purchased the one for Hazel Eyes before...decided to try the one for Brown Eyes as the colors are great...the ony complaint I have about the Brown one is that it didn't come with an applicator like the Hazel did...the picture shown is incorrect..the colors are round and no applicator...

My everyday palette!
-03.31.13
I had my eyes on this palette for a while now. I finally decided to get it. I am very satisfied with the collection of shades for brown eyes. Thank you for not choosing green or purple. My make up bag was getting over loaded with single shadows because I usually get ready to go to work at the gym in the morning. This palette is perfect and goes with my all my outfits. I absolutely love it! The quality is great and very versatile.

Too Dark
-03.29.13
Quick Take: too dark
I found these colors way too dark. The Wine color (2nd on bottom) was more of a dark brown. The navy blue also came off way more dark than expected. I'm a huge fan of eye shadow and love to experiment, but I should have listened to my instincts and waited to try it out in store. The quality is great, smooth, highly pigmented and great packaging but I just could not get each trio to work for me. I'm going to play with it a little more and hope I can blend them into a softer look but I think this is going back.

Impossible to fail!
-03.22.13
LOVE this.
My attempts at eyeshadow to date have been comparable to those really smart elephants who hold a paintbrush in their trunk and create art.
Until I bought Smashbox Brown Eyes. Now I actually get compliments on my eyes, instead of being asked if I'm on my way to a Halloween party..
The colours are beautiful, and really are tailored to making Brown eyes POP. There are fail-safe guides printed on the bottom that are easy to follow and it's amazing what you can do with just 3 colours.
Furthermore, the color stays in place all night, even surviving sweaty dance floors.

Not a Fan
-03.21.13
Quick Take: not worth the money
Did not do much for me. I tried out all of the colors (applying a primer first, of course) and I noticed that the colors had a bit of fall out. They also did not last. I tried for about two weeks but I was disappointment, so I returned.

Quick Take: good value, portable, essential
I recently purchased this set along with the hazel eyes, and cannot get over how great both of these products truly are. They have spectacular colors which complimented most of my mineral shadow collection as well. Its really great to have the different looks prepared for you, and very easy to sub in your own colors to create a unique look.
** I would also recommend the smash box primer which makes these colors truly come to life.

Quick Take: portable, good value
I don't tend to wear a lot of eyeshadow so I'm always looking for easy to use palettes. They quality of the shadows are great and the diagram plus the online video make it super user-friendly, even for a light make up user like myself. Both sets of colors really make my brown eyes pop. Love this set.

This is a great palette! The eyeshadow is not dry or cakey, it goes on very smoothly and it lasts all day. The colors really make your eyes pop. I get compliments whenever I wear this palette. Great buy and worth every penny!
