professional eye shadow palettes

I did swatch the palettes they recently came out with, but the single shadows are, to my eye, noticeably better quality....I've been searching high and low for a copper/bronze eye shadow that isn't super metallic such that I look like I glued pennies to my eye lids...

What it is:
A luscious, long-wearing powder eyeshadow.

What it does:
This creamy shadow glides on in one smooth stroke for long-wearing color, and is formulated to be crease and fade resistant. It is available in soft matte, soft shimmer, or super shimmer finish. Matte finish shadows give fine lines and wrinkles a softer, smoother look. A hint of soft shimmer shadow dabbed into the center of lids adds a pop of brightness. Super shimmer shadows act as highlighting shades to bring out browbones and inner corners of eyes. Try light shades for a more dramatic effect on deeper skintones or dark shades for a more natural look. Dark shades look more dramatic on fairer skins; light ones look more natural.

Best blendable shadow, affordable, long lasting...Otherwise, I highly recommend. Clinique is the best eye shadow, a truly hidden secret....Love these shadows - they stay on, the colors blend perfectly - I love that there's no 'fly-away' shadow on the palette wasted.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
