Brand : Huda Beauty Collection :  Precious Stones Collection Product : Obsessions  Eyeshadow Palette Shade : Emerald CRUELTY FREE PARABEN FREE Binxcat's Musing: The swatches above represent 3 swipes with no primer.  Do I need to say more?  Kind of speaks for itself I think.  the mattes are poorly pigmented, dry, and dusty.  The metallics are not bound together well.   I will update this post after I have a chance to test wear over primer (on or before 9/24/18). UPDATE - I used 4 shades from this palette.  While they were still pretty dusty, and required a careful tapping of the brushes before use, they all applied fine over a good primer.  The darkest green shade was extremely pigmented and was difficult to sheer out and blend.  They wore all day with very little fading (only the lightest matte) and minimal fallout.
