BeautyTips: How to choose a good eyeshadow palette

Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism Eyeshadow Palette,  colourpop perception makeup Shayla, kylie cosmetics sipping pretty, huda beauty desert dusk, Sephora review, BeautyTips: How to choose a good eyeshadow palette, dark skin beauty plus blogger

There’s a new eyeshadow palette being launched every week and every influencer says you have to have it. Here’s how I know when to buy and when to pass. 

There are five cardinal factors I consider when rating how good a palette is.

The two standard colors…”the nude” and “the smoke”.

To even consider a palette worthy, it has to have a shade close to my skin tone, one I can use in transitioning, and a deep brown or black (but mostly brown) that I can use to create smoky crease effects. Having only one of them doesn’t cut it…it’s a package deal. If a palette has those two shades, that means that I can take it with me, without carrying other supplemental shades. #IndependentPalettesMatter lol.

The dimension shade

This shade is normally brick or orange toned and goes between your brow-bone and crease to create that smooth blended dimension.

Versatility of finishes

I like a palette that has a range of formulas. A well curated collection of matte shades, glittery and duo-chrome shades can be used to create day and night looks without having to pull out another palette.

Surprise me

I like a palette that creates shades that I have never seen before and want to try. Huda Beauty is one of those brands that has mastered uniqueness and the beauty world loves them for that (checkout my Huda Desert Dusk palette review here).

And of course, pigmentation and fall-out

A lot of palettes have mastered pigmentation when it comes to the matte shades, but if you want to challenge a palette, swatch their lighter/nude and foil/duo-chrome shades…not many of them pass the test. Those nude shades are probably harder to make so I sympathize a little however, when it comes to the foil and duo-chromes, that can make or break a palette for me. For a person that owns a lot of palettes, my purchasing a new one comes down to distinctive creations that I have never seen.

Honorable mention

Colors that suit skin undertones and closet tones

At times, you will apply an eyeshadow shade, blend it in the most beautiful way and yet something will still be off. Chances are that it just doesn’t work with your skin tone. Personally, blue and cool shades don’t do it for me, so I stay away from palettes that have majority of those shades. Also, the colors of clothes you normally go for can be a determining factor. If your clothes lean towards warmer tones, you’ll find brown, red and gold toned palettes easier to work with.

What are your must-have palettes…do share.

I had the stuffed chicken taquitos and diablitos…gulf oysters on the half shell topped with shrimp enchilada. I’m still learning to love oysters and these were definitely good.

The Downtown food scene is really on the rise. @Fi The Downtown food scene is really on the rise. @FinnHallHou is definitely a vibe, with many exciting options, but perhaps the most intriguing one is @TheSmokeHTX. I’m talking, that gooood bbq on a Wednesday? …at 8pm? Unbelievable! I tried the brisket, chicken boudin, Mac and cheese, baked beans and smoked wings. Everything was incredibly delicious. You have to try. Save under DT food spots.

Check my stories/bio for $20 OFF on your 1st order Check my stories/bio for $20 OFF on your 1st order. I’ve been getting groceries at @ImperfectFoods for nearly 2 years so I’m stocked to collaborate with them and show you some of the amazing products you can purchase. Grocery stores at times have unrealistic standards when it comes to food. Little imperfections like scarring on an avocado could lead to it being wasted even when it’s perfectly fine on the inside. 35% of food in the US goes to waste and the carbon footprint of wasted food in the U.S. is greater than that of the global airline industry. Imperfect foods is fighting the food wastage problem by selling quality produce that would otherwise be thrown away. They also upcycle products like broken cashew nuts into trail mixes to create delicious snacks. They have a well curated selection of essential groceries and novel food items that are exciting to try. This is sustainability at its best. Download their app to shop!
