I bought the Stylish Smokes in "Made for Mocha" and its only a single shadow. I use it to fill in my brows & it works great. I use it with the small brow brush & it looks amazing, especially on freshly done brows. Its the only color that I can find that isn't too dark or too light. I also got them as a part of a buy on get one half off sale so I got my money's worth for 2 of them. I've been using this for about a year now.

I bought two of these. One in charcoal smokes and the other in lavender smokes. The reason I wouldn't buy these again is because they're too glittery; the glitter would travel down from my eyes to my cheeks. That reminded me of little girl makeup which is not so cool when you're 20 years old.

I agree that the pigmentation is not very strong. This is surprising considering how strong the colours look in the pan, particularly the darkest colour. This doesn't mean that the colours aren't good. I use the brow (lightest) colour all over my lids as a base right up to the brow bone. If you apply it lightly, it does a beautiful job. If you were to apply it heavily, it will look way too dark and glittery. I am talking from the point of view of a pale skinned blonde.Then I use the crease colour for the outer corner as well as the crease. If I was going to use it for nightime application, I would use the darkest colour for the outer corner. These colours are true greys which I like very much and they accentuate my blue eyes. They work really nicely with a pale lip colour. I would definitely repurchase.

I really wanted to love this product. The colours are great to create the mokey eye look but the pigment is really low especially the black which is glittery and doesn't go onto your applicator well. Overall, it's good but it could be better.

I really like this product. It gives a great smoky eye when all colors are used. I also use the black as everyday top/bottom lid eyeliner. I use my tiny eyeliner brush. When it's night makeup I use it under the eye for s really smudgy look. On upper lid I use liquid. So, yea I would buy again.

The colors are pretty pigmented, but texture a little "dense" which I've found is a problem with some Maybelline shadows, you have to dig a little off before applying. Lid color-somewhat shimmery brownish/grayish (no name on the colors) color, TOO warm for my coloring. Crease color-a pretty slightly plum/charcoal. Highlighter-Silver.
Eyeliner or smokey-Black w/small sparkles. I would buy this again if the lid color worked, other wise I have to toss, give away, or combine with other colors I have. I wish companies would stick to warm, cool or neutral!
