Beauty Bay’s Midnight 42 colour palette

This is a blue-and-purple palette - literally half-and-half. The top three rows are blues, the bottom three rows are purples. There's a mix of shimmer and matte, with most of the shimmers in Beauty Bay's cream-to-powder formula that I dislike. I initially thought that I'd get the 16-color version since I have so many blue and purple eyeshadows already, but the instant I saw Queen swatched and learned that it was only in the largest Midnight palette, I knew that I had to get the largest option after all. All of the shades in this palette are good to great quality. If you love blues and purples and don't have any Beauty Bay palettes yet, this can be a great initial choice. I just have so many blues and purples that if I had any other way to get Queen, I'd have taken that route just to minimize duplication in my own personal collection.

Beauty Bay's house brand eyeshadow palettes are fairly good quality. The mattes aren't as smooth as BPerfect's, and the shimmers can sometimes work best when applied and blended (shudder!) with your fingers instead of a brush. But they're not overly dusty, they're all easily buildable, and they blend well.
