INGLOT makes my favorite eyeshadows ever. I find that their formula is buttery soft and super pigmented. They last well on my oily lids (though I always need a primer). They have different finishes: matte, pearl, DS (Double Sparkle), AMC (Advanced Makeup Component), and AMC Shine.
I haven't bought any individual shadows, but I have purchased two 10-pan palettes from their Freedom System. You will notice in the pictures, that I have chosen mostly cool-toned neutrals and purples. I find that these colors look best on my NW20 skin.
Some of the pictures make it look like the matte shadows are chalky; they are not. They are extremely soft and the product does come up easily. If you just tap your brush before you apply, you won't have any issues with fall out. The pearls are, by far, my favorites of my collection (especially 434P, 420P, 397P, and 402P).
I know this is a very long and picture-heavy post, but I hope that it will be helpful for those who don't have access to an INGLOT store and must purchase online.
The most recent 10-pan palette I purchased was $16 and each square shadow was $6. The rainbow shadows, which have 3 colors each, are now $8. I know that the prices have gone up since last year; but it is still a huge value when you compare the amount of product and quality you get to the competition. (ahem... MAC)
Also, they are paraben-free and do not test on animals.What's not to love?
Oh, there is something that I should warn you about. The magnets are incredibly strong and it's really difficult to get the shadows out of the palettes once they are in there. If you want to be able to mix and change around your palettes easily, I would recommend you get a Z-palette or Unii palette to store them in. I don't mind traveling with my palettes just the way they are... they are sturdy and stackable.
