Clarins The Essentials Makeup Palette - Review

Clarins The Essentials is a must-have palette containing 10 x 1,5g mineral powder eye shadows. Pure, neautral shades in matte, satin and pearl finishes with an ultra-soft texture suitable for even the most sensitive of eyes, they are all ophthalmologist and dermatologist tested.
The palette includes a mirror and natural wood brush with dual applicator - one for defining the eye and one for shading and blending. This is a really good quality eyeshadow brush and not some cheap, useless, throw-away applicator.

There is a good mix of matte, satin and shimmery eyeshadows and they all complement each other, have a good pigmentation and blend very well together. You can easily go from day to night: this box also includes a an smokey eye chart and what number colours to use to create them - painting by numbers literally. I also love the creme golden eyeshadow in the center of the palette, it's so soft and creamy ( obviously) and it looks amazing applied to the centre of the lid and the inner corner of the eye and the best thing is it stays there for the day ( or night).

And tadaaa... here is the look I created with the palette! 

The only downside is that the box is made of cardboard so not sure how durable it will be for carrying around when I am doing makeup on locations.

 This Essential Palette is truly essential – and it want break the bank - it’s only €42!
Available at most Department Stores in Ireland.
