What the gurus are saying

Gurus appreciate the palette as a solid, functional neutral option with blendable mattes and pretty metallics that work across skin tones. The inclusion of burgundy shades alongside traditional neutrals adds useful variation. The consensus is that it's well-made and nicely packaged, but not innovative, gurus recommend it mainly for those actively seeking a neutral palette or Rare Beauty enthusiasts, while suggesting existing palette owners can skip it.

"I'm going to be using the Rare Beauty eyeshadow palette. Just like a very nice neutral palette. This is called Essential Neutrals, aptly named."

Hmm ok... NEW Rare Beauty
"I think the colors that they chose are nice. I do appreciate that they included the burgundy to kind of give you a little bit of wiggle room. It's not just like your typical neutral palette where you have just neutrals because neutral can be interpreted in different ways for different skin tones. So I kind of appreciate that there's a little bit of variation in there. That being said, this is nothing new. The matte formulas are nice. I think they're blendable and easy to use, and there's enough pigment there that they'll work for a multitude of skin tones. I do like the metallics as well. Again, they're nothing groundbreaking, nothing that we haven't seen before, but pretty tones. If you need a neutral palette and you have been interested in this or you love Rare Beauty and you want to support them, then I think it's perfectly fine to make a purchase. If you don't need a neutral palette, if you have five neutral palettes already, you can probably skip it. I do like the packaging. I think it's cute for travel size, and it comes with a mirror."

"My favorite thing is definitely the eyeshadow palette. It's very cute, very practical, very basic, but in a good way."
