With face masks taking up most of our faces, it seems that many have switched the priority from makeup to skincare. But one of the steps that many have held onto is eye makeup. Whether it’s something as simple as filling in the brows or going all out with eyeshadow, liner, and mascara, the eyes are getting a lot more attention these days.
If you’re new to eyeshadows and don’t know how to go about choosing which shade goes with which, that’s where palettes come in. Here are six eyeshadow palettes that are perfect for everyday looks – with or without the face mask.
The 5 Couleurs Eye Palette is a pressed powder eye palette that allows for infinite layering with a sheer finish. Mitzah showcases five harmonious colours that build beautifully on the lids. Use one shade for a fuss-free look to bring some depth to the eyes or blend all five together for a more standout look. We love how the dusty rose pairs with the bronze shades and they perfectly bring out the browns of Asian eyes.
Formulated with an ultra-fine texture, this eyeshadow blends effortlessly into the skin. The Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow in No 268 is a quad of earthy tones that perfectly transition from day to night. Its compact shape is ideal for packing it in your bag as you go, if you want something more subtle stick to the brown tones, but if you want to change it up, highlight the centre of the lids or the corners with a pop of colour.
As straightforward as it gets, the Hera Shadow Duo in Picky features two bronze shades that are perfectly put together after a study on colours for Asians. This matte palette is formulated with soft particles that blend in seamlessly with excellent colour payoff. Perfect for every day, just swipe and layer up if you wish.
For those who prefer something moodier and smokey, this eyeshadow palette holds four complementary and luxurious finishes that play well together. The reviews speak for themselves and the palette claims to blend seamlessly with no fallout. If you want something that makes your brown eyes pop, this is the palette to bet on.
With six shades to choose from, this palette includes four matte and metallic shades that are infused with Amazonian clay to encourage smooth blending and a flake-resistant finish. Plus, two iridescent duochrome shades that go smoothly on the lids. From a nude shade for blending and matching, chestnut and gold tones that warm up the skin, to a shimmering raspberry shade that makes the eyes pop.
Fenty Beauty changed the game when they came up with their packaging for Snap Shadows. This portable mini eyeshadow palette easily snaps together, and Wine is their newest limited edition palette. The Wine palette features rich and neutral burgundy shades that are perfect for everyday looks. With three matte shades and three shimmer shades, you can mix and match for something subtle or statement – you decide. For best results, prep your eyes with a primer, and after they’re set, apply the shadows with a brush and if you want to go for the glitter and metallic shades, try using your fingers for maximum payoff.
The Fenty Beauty Snap Shadows Palette in Wine is available in stores and will be available online on 25 August 2020.
