Does Bobbi Brown have good powder eyeshadows? Just wondering if they are pigmented well and don't have too much fall out. Anyone a fan?

I threw all mine out after trying to work with them unsuccessfully. They seemed very dry and when I put them on with her eyeshadow brush, the powdery texture was more all over the place than on my eyelids.
I don't recommend them.

Nothing special, IMO, and horribly overpriced.

I like most of the sets I have (and I have a LOT of them) other than the "sparkle" shades - those have almost no pigment and just end up a glittery mess. They wear very well on me - my only real "complaint" is too many of the shades are similar to each other so I have quite a few duplicates between my various pallets. If you are looking for a high-quality shadow w/ good color payoff and very little fall-out I certainly would recommend Dior. They are definitely some money but very, very nice quality!!

I really like BB powder eye shadows. I have very sensitive skin with a ton of allergies and issues so it's always a "quest" to find a product that works for me. I also like Mally eye shadow sticks and Laura Geller's baked eye shadow items. BB products appeal to me because I wanted shades that would work together and I didn't have to really think about it on those days that I need to get out the door quick or only had ten minutes to pull myself together.
I find them to be heavily pigmented in the non metallic shades. I have very fair skin so you can see blue veining, etc with products that are too sheer. I don't mind the metallic. I use them in the corners or the crease of the eye. I like the darker shade selection if I am going to wear a metallic.
I really like the BB palettes. You actually get more product than it appears, the colors work and it is an easy way to try something new without having to purchase a full size. Overall, I have been very pleased with all of the products in the Bobbi Brown line.

I wear mostly Bobbi Brown makeup, including her eye shadows. I am NOT a fan of the glitter shades. They wind up flaking underneath my eyes (and that's with a primer underneath the shadow).
I have many of Bobbi's palettes as well as individual powder and cream shades. I highly recommend them.

I would agree, they DO look much better in the pans, than on your eyes! lol
You know some of them are alright, and some of them are not. I don't know what the difference is, but sometimes I run across one that is fine and others not so much. It's weird. The last one I bought was the Blonde matte shadow and I am pretty happy with it. I do layer it over a primer or cream shadow first. I think her cream shadows are much better quality than her powder shadows. They do have the least COLOR payoff of any shadows I have purchased. I don't know why and it seems like her older shadows, were better quality and had better color payoff. I was happier with her shadows when I first started using them years ago than I am now. I definitely think there has been a decline in quality, perhaps it has to do with formulation, or where they are made, I dunno.
I absolutely hate her powder sparkle shadows for me at my age. Yes I said HATE. Worst product she's come out with in years, IMHO.

Very little pigment. Urban Decay and Laura Mercier are much better at this price point.
