Here's the look I put together with the Pretty Easy eyeshadow palette! It's a bit too dramatic for a work holiday lunch, but fit right in with a cocktail dress at a Christmas party in the evening. The Clinique Pretty Easy palette is on the other end of the spectrum, offering a much more understated, subtle shimmer, to the point of being almost satiny if it weren't for the iridescent shimmer present. I think the shimmers in my Urban Decay Naked 1 are more pigmented, but UD shimmers also tend to be very intensely shimmery-frosty, even. They don't really kick up any dust either, which is always nice and a must if a palette is going to be bouncing around in your purse. Overall I find the shades very buttery and pleasant to work with, with the exception of 5 and 8, which were a little more hard.

Plus, don't you hate it when a brand releases a palette full of "exclusive shades", only to find they're identical to existing, permanent shades? Eurgh. I like that they put this palette together from existing shades: if you like one or two shades, you may be able to buy it in a duo instead of shelling out for the whole palette. The shades in this palette go by number only, but the back side identities them by name. Swatches in direct and indirect natural light

Slimming Black is a deep, matte black, and Slim Sable is dark, warm brown. I forgot to take swatches of the eyeliners, but they are creamy and smooth, with a super-skinny tip that would work well for tightlining. Much better than crappy eyeshadow sponge applicators that nobody uses! They're about 2/3 the size of full-size Skinny Sticks (~$27 value for both eyeliners). The palette also comes with two Skinny Stick eyeliners in Slimming Black and Slim Sable. The mirror side has a peel-off sticker with suggestions for a "naturally pretty" day look and a "dramatically pretty" evening look. It comes in Clinique's classic mirrored packaging, which is simple and chic but an absolute pain to photograph! :P Clinique's new launch promises to make things a bit less hectic with a super-portable, 8-pan neutrals palette that can create eye looks for day or night.Ĭlinique Pretty Easy Eye Palette Clinique Pretty Easy Brow PaletteĬlinique Pretty Easy Eye Palette ($55 CAD) is compact and fits comfortably in my hand.
