The Alice Through the Looking Glass palette is like a piece of art: frivolous and whimsical, bulky and not particularly practical, but made with great care and attention to detail, and can be interpreted as beautiful or garish. The shadows themselves are fantastic, of course, as you would expect from Urban Decay: smooth, silky, and pigmented, with equal parts neutrals and brights, frosts and mattes, that reflect the fanciful world of Alice in Wonderland to a tee. At first glance, the shades in the palette don't seem all that coordinated (especially if you take into account that each column is supposed to represent a single character from the film), but you can create a multitude of cohesive looks with the 20 shades included, from soft and neutral to cool and smoky to bright and wild. The only shade that gave me a bit of trouble to work with was Dream On, which reminds me a bit of Urban Decay's Moondust Eyeshadows; it has a softer, almost more cushiony texture so the base colour is more translucent and it gives off a high amount of sparkle, so I've found that fingertips work the best to apply it. Aside from that, all the eyeshadows applied beautifully and blended out easily; I didn't find these to be chalky or powdery or create a significant amount of fall-out, but I do use an eyeshadow primer regularly (and I recommend the use of a primer or base when using any type of eyeshadow, in any case). This is not a palette to get if you want portable or basic or neutral or sensible — it's the one to get if you want something fun, playful, and unique. After all, it's an homage to Alice in Wonderland, and it's okay to get a little crazy with your makeup sometimes.
