In a nutshell:

Three different colors within the same color family are often used to create basic eyeshadow looks. This involves the use of a light, medium and dark color. The light color goes at the brow bone, followed by a medium shade on the eyelid and a darker shade in the eyelid crease. The secret to achieving this look is to make sure all of the colors are evenly blended.

My review: 

I LOVE the combination of colors as it includes Matte, Shimmer and Sheer (which will add just a hint of the color but will not be bold) and each color complements well with any skin tones and does a great job in enhancing your eye lids. Whether you fancy a softer or more edgy look, you can customize your look with this palette. So if you like your colors warm-toned, fairly neutral, and shimmery, this is your palette from start to finish.
