Laura's Essentials Artistic & Authentic 12 Multi-Finish Øyenskygger, 1 Highlighter, 1 Blush

The range of finishes in this 12-shadow palette is what sold me — matte, shimmer, and everything in between covers every look I need in one compact case. The blush blends out so naturally too, and the whole thing’s sturdy enough to toss in my bag without worrying.

I was skeptical about the highlighter since I usually skip them, but it gives a soft glow that doesn't look glittery. The blush shade is perfect for my skin tone, and having 12 shadows plus those two extras in one compact makes my morning routine way faster.

The matte neutrals blend out so smoothly that I barely needed to layer anything, and the soft shimmer shades catch the light just enough for a natural daytime glow. The blush included is a nice bonus, but I've honestly been reaching for the taupes and warm browns every single day since it arrived.
