I primed my right eye (left eye in the photo) and left the other eye without primer to see how the eyeshadow stands.

INSTINCTS (light brown shade): using Jeffree Star JS5 brush I blend this shade all over my lid and slightly above the crease

DYNAMIC (dark brown shade): using the same Jeffree Star JS5 brush I blend this shade into the crease

VITALITY (gold shade): using my Real Techniques Base Shadow brush I pat this shade onto my lid

VITALITY (gold shade): using the same brush, I sprayed it with MAC Fix+ to see if this shade will pop a little more

DYNAMIC (dark brown shade): using my Jeffree Star JS10 brush I lined my lower line with this shade to make this a bit more of a smokey look

VITALITY (gold shade): using the same brush as just before I line the inner half of my lower line

FEMME (light white shade): using my Real Techniques Accent Brush I highlighted my brow bone and inner eye (tear duct)

FEMME (light white shade): same brush I sprayed with MAC Fix+ and then highlighted my tear duct even more

All the makeup done and I love the eye look, it really makes my eyes look even more blue.

Update #1 (6:45pm): My hair may look different, I went and got it done. Anyway back to the eyeshadow, it has budged slightly on the eye without primer otherwise it looks really good.

I love this palette, it is small but mighty, this will probably be a palette I use all of the time.
