Fool-proof Palette

Whoever invented the first make-up palette is my hero. What better than a whole bunch of shades of shadow or gloss all together in one handy-dandy compact? No more carrying around 5 different lip glosses or having to rummage through your makeup bag to find the two different shadow compacts you want to use amonst all the clutter. But who hasn't bought a palette, taken it home, & realized that you have no idea what colors go together, how to wear them or why you bought something so overwhelmingly confusing. Okay, maybe that's a tad dramatic, but I've definitely had my excitement over a palette purchase smashed to smithereens when I realized the options were just too many and my makeup application skills were just too lacking to make sense of it all.

CARGO Cosmetics must have heard my cry of confusion because I have just discovered their Essential Palettes for eyes. http://www.cargocosmetics.com/ Each stripe of shadow is expertly labeled with a clear imprint of the words: Browbone, Lid, Crease, Outer corner. GENIUS. Why has someone not done this before? It's absolutley goof-proof. Unless you can't read, or don't know which part of your eye is which, you simply cannot make a mistake. By the time you've used enough of the shadows to erase the imprinted words, I guarantee that you've memorized which is which - makeup muscle memory anyone? The only hitch is that this brand is tough to find - www.beauty.com or the brand's website http://www.cargocosmetics.com/products/eyes/essential-palette is definitely your best bet!
