Most of these eyeshadows are pretty pigmented, but a couple of the shades are less pigmented, and these tend to be the matte ones. I do think a primer is necessary for this, as a couple shades are also on the powdery side, especially if you want a vibrant look. The included eyeliner is ok, and it works in a pinch, but doesn't last a super long time. I also don't really pay attention to the diagrams, but they are helpful for beginners. I don't really care for the mirror, I'd rather have more eyeshadows or primer in that space. I like the versatility in this palette, it works for neutral as well as bright looks.

I love my beauty book. the colours are amazing and you cant beat the price. the product is nicely pigmented and goes on perfectly

its amazing! comes with 6 amazing eyeshadows,and eyeliner,eye primer,and instructions on how to get certain eye looks :) and all for 5-10 dollars! its recommended :)
