good buy!!!
SHANY Natural Fusion Eyeshadow Palette
I purchased this palette directly from Shany Cosmetics online, though it is available at a reasonable price through Amazon (with free shipping if Prime member). I read a lot of reviews of Shany products and purchased this and other palettes by this company. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and pigmentation for the price. Many YouTube makeup tutorials use more expensive lines, but found a few using Shany products. Here are some of my main impressions. For your reference, I am very light skinned and 40-something. This is for my personal use. I am in no way a makeup artist, but am enjoying becoming one with my Shany products.
Pros:
Highly pigmented--a little on your brush for most shades goes a long way.
Great variety: very neutral tones in browns, orange/peach, grays, and violets with highlighting shades. Shimmer and matte both go on great.Using the right brush, darker colors can be used as liner as well as contour shades.
Inexpensive--1 shade of MAC costs almost as much as a whole 88-shade palette. Many will prefer MAC, but I can't afford it on student loans.
Blending---very nice complementary shades that blend nicely with an appropriate brush. You can hardly mess up with the tones provided.
No creasing/good staying power---I always use a shadow primer, so I don't know how well the colors last without one, but with a primer, the colors stay on all day for me and do not crease. I do have drier 40-something skin, so I am not sure about creasing with those with oily lids
Packaging: Come in a nice, shiny black plastic case with a beautiful gold-embossed logo that is easy to open but fastens shut
Litte fall-out: Using a primer and eyeshadow brushes, I have had little problems with the color falling all over my cheeks.
Environmentally aware: Website states they use some recycled products in their packaging.
Cons:
Pan size: Pans are about the size of a dime. However, there are so many colors and they are so pigmented, I am sure there is plenty there to last a long time.
Palette size: It is rather large and bulky. Unless you carry a very big purse, transportation may be an issue if you are using this for your every day look.
Origin: Though they are shipped from the U.S., the package says "made in China". I am not sure exactly where the product is made.
Fragile: I haven't dropped my palette or tried to transport it far, but some reviewers stated that when they dropped their palette, many colors broke. Just be careful.
Very neutral: This palette is mostly browns, purples, oranges, greys, and highlight colors. There is no green or blue (one brown has a green tone to it)
Overall I LOVE Shany's shadow palettes. I like the variety, the blendability, the pigmentation, and the price. I have a sensitivity to colors with red, but my eyes have had no problems with any of the tints/dyes used. I have also tried BH cosmetics shadows, and they are very good also, but I prefer the texture of Shany. They are a smaller company and have been pleased with the customer service. I ordered three palettes from them, they forgot to send me one of the palettes, so they shipped it out the next day. Everything came perfectly bubble-wrapped in a box both times. If you order $50 worth from the company, it is free shipping and they send you full-size samples. I got 4 shades of eye shadow, an eyeliner, and a lip gloss. If you want to try them out and have Amazon Prime, the price is good on Amazon and you get free shipping. I recommend anyone on a budget to try this line of shadow. It is of good quality and much better than those cheap eyeshadow packages your mom always gets you for Christmas that were on sale at Wally World. This particular palette is very neutral and would be excellent for those that don't experiment too much with bright colors but are looking for something highly pigmented and with good staying power.

I purchased this item for variety and I am surprised at the quality of this product. Highly pigmented, wonderful colors, a great alternative to the naked palette from urban decay. I have that as well and I like this product just as much. Quick delivery. I will say that one of the colors out of the eighty eight was broken when I opened the package, but it was packaged pretty tightly with a clear wrap and a bubble wrap inside of a box, inside of a packaging bag lol.. So The shadows are fragile but worth it. I use this palette almost everyday.

I LOVE SHANY EYESHADOW PALETTE!!!!! MY SKIN COLOR IS A COCO COLOR (AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN) AND THE SHANY COLORS ARE BEAUTIFUL ON MY SKIN. WOW! I am embarrassed to tell you how many eyeshadow palettes I own but I finally found my favorite makeup item. Sorry, but this is better than MAC. Save your money ladies.
This palette is wonderful. I ordered this palette for me since i already had ordered the 180 palette of bright neon eyeshadows but also wanted nice natural colors and this palette is it. The colors are natural colors but have shimmer to it and they are beautiful. My sister came over to my house and loved the palette so much that she took it lol so i just ordered a second one for me.
I like the fact that you get so many colors to choose from, and the colors are powders, but they have a buttery feel to them. They blend remarkably well, and they last really good on their own. I DO use Urban Decay Eye Potion Primer (the plain one) whenever I use powder eye shadows just to make them last longer, and these lasted all night through drinking. Strong pigmentation too! A little of the shadow goes a long way.
I love love this palette. The right mix of coulours to go with any look, day or night. The colours are vivid and last all day and into the night. I travel with it all the time, packing it in my hand luggage.
The colors are lovely, good variety of shimmer and matte, good hue saturation, and good long wear. I'm having a lot of fun with this.
The colors in this palette have amazing pigments. They come on very strong and vibrant and they stay on through out the day. They are a little small, however there are many choices to pick from. Great buy.
