Surprise pan in one of the only mattes I use in the Kaleidos Club Nebula palette

I love Kaleidos’ shimmers and this palette has some great ones, but this color story is not really for me, and I feel like I should have brought the Escape Pod palette instead. I’ve struggled with blending out the dark shades and had some patchiness that I haven’t experienced with other Kaleidos eyeshadows, but that might be a me issue and I’m not using enough product or lack of experience working with darker shadows. I have small, hooded, almond shaped eyes, and dark shadow colors tend to overwhelm my eye area, so I use dark colors very sparingly and only in the outer corner of my eye or as liner. This is one of my older eyeshadow palettes and I’d like to use up the shimmers at least.
