Purchased from Hourglass before it was discontinued. I use to have 3 different versions of these palettes. I used to like the design of the palette and how the colors just melted into each other. The powder was a little drier on these palettes - my skin wouldn’t look dry to me, but after applying this shadow, it looked dry. Even with skin prep - there was always something a little off on how the powder laid on my skin. I liked the color stories they picked and the formula was easy to blend. It was a very traditional, old school powder formula that was a little dusty. Tapping off the brush got rid of the excess. Lasted about 6-7 hours without a primer. I wouldn’t suggest buying this from a resale site. Better options out there - just cool to look at

From the stunning packaging to the richly pigmented shades, this palette truly stands out from the crowd. The color selection in this palette is impeccable. With a range of shades that encompass both classic neutrals and bold pops of color, the Modernist Eyeshadow Palette offers endless possibilities for creating eye-catching looks. Whether you’re going for a natural everyday look or stepping out with a vibrant smoky eye, this palette has got you covered. But what really sets this palette apart is its unique layout. The eyeshadows are arranged in a mesmerizing wave-like pattern within the compact, which not only adds to its visual appeal but also allows for easy color combinations and seamless blending. The shadows themselves have a velvety texture that applies effortlessly and delivers intense color payoff, making it a joy to work with. The formula is long-wearing and doesn’t crease or fade throughout the day, ensuring that your eye look stays flawless from morning to night. The shadows also have a buildable formula, which makes it easy to achieve both softer, more subtle looks and more intense, high-impact ones.

I find this to be very minimal and practical for any everyday eye shadow palette. The hues are very nice for fair skin and is pigmented and blendable with each shadow
