So happy to see Hourglass do a way with the Modernist eyeshadow palettes. They were not Hourglass quality. Fallout, inconsistent pigment throughout the shade range (I bought 5 compacts at once),...

I have a lot of palettes, too many in fact. This one is average. I generally love Hourglass stuff but i don't think this palette blends well (I have it in Atmosphere). I don't hate it but I won't...

Huge waste of money. Not very pigmented, does not blend well at all and the fallout is terrible. They look chalky and while the packaging is cool, it's not practical. Everything meshes together.

These are expensive. I don't like that the colors run into each other. I would never travel with this because I think the shadows would crack and there goes $58 unsalvageable. HOWEVER, the funky...
