I’m a sucker for a good eyeshadow palette, and this one, the Smashbox Double Exposure palette, is pretty special. The colors are wearable and rich. There are options for both day and night, which let’s face it is pretty critical. No one is a vampire here (at least that I’m aware of). They work wet and dry, giving you 28 different colors instead of 14.  All of this is great, but my favorite things about it are these:

1. The eyeshadow brush is perfection. On one end, there are short, thick bristles which work well for applying color to your lids. It deposits the pigments really evenly. On the other side, you’ll find an angled brush that I use to turn wet shadow into a great eyeliner. Win win.

2. I also love how well this stuff stays on. I have the hardest time keeping my makeup in place (I’m constantly rubbing my face. I know it’s a bad habit), but these shades stay put – all day long.
