Are These The Coolest Eyeshadow Palettes Ever?

18 November, 2018 - 04:46pm by - Head Pixie | 19 Comments

By BR Kellie

Bye-bye sunset orange.

See you later radiant reds.

Have a nice life pretty pinks.

There's a cool kid in town and they're getting ready to rule (or in some cases have been ruling on the down low for quite some time...).

Okay, that's all a bit dramatic, but it's true enough to say that in the land of beauty trends come and go, and we're seeing the trend for warmer toned eyeshadow palettes slowing down as finally, after a long time in the cold, the spotlight is being shone on cooler toned eyeshadows.

So what's out there? What's hot... er, cool... er, ykwim...

Check these pretties out!

Maybelline The Rock Nudes

Wanting to delve into cool tones without blowing your budget? Maybelline's The Rock Nudes is a great place to start! This palette can create simple daytime to full on smoked-out night time glam looks in a flash!

MAC Eye Shadow x 15: Cool Neutral

The name literally says it all. 15 cool neutral shadows that will take you from day to night with ease. Perfect for the fuss-free gal!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Sultry Eye Shadow Palette

(Dear NZ dollar, please don't drop anymore, because I need this in my life.) Now that I've said my prayers to the money and beauty gods... Anastasia Beverly Hills continues to add cool tones into their recent palettes (that Norvina palette... stunning) with the release of Sultry. Consider us sold.

Rimmel Magnif'eyes Smoke Edition

From Sultry to seductress. Rimmels Magnif'eyes Smoke Edition is a sexy wee beastie featuring a range of cool tones to create come hither eyes. (What you're come hithering at is up to you... personally I'll be come hithing at some of the latest cosmetic holiday releases...)

Urban Decay Naked2 Basics

Ain't nothin' basic about this wee gem. Well-loved by those who've tried it, it features six simple, yet stunning, shades that will help you create gorgeous natural looks.

Bobbi Brown Camo Luxe Eye & Cheek Palette

If you're a fan of all things luxe and are wanting to dip your toe into cool tones, then this Bobbi Brown palette may well be for you! Clearly the highlighter blinging out this palette is not of the cool tone fam, but those darker eyeshadows? Definitely. As for that packaging? Saaaawoooooooooonn.

Viseart Eye Shadow Palette Cool Mattes

Cool. Mattes. No shimmer. No shine. Just simple, sophisticated, blendable, beautiful shadows. Is Viseart on the pricey side? Yes. Worth the investment? Absolutely.

So... are cool toned eye shadows cool with you? Or do you give them an icy glare and reach for the warmer tones? Or, are you hot for a bit of both? Chat away!

I'm going to pick myself up the Kevyn Aucoin Nude Pop palette when it lands at Mecca next month. I prefer cool toned palettes with my skin tones, so with the influx of warm palettes, the KA Nude Pop is a welcome change. I've had the Mac Cool Neutrals palette and it just didn't float my boat sadly.

I'm a cool winter anyway so I've always gotten cool tone make-up, so definitely up my alley!

I'm late to the bandwagon but I really started loving warm toned eyeshadows earlier this year and I'm still into them. I actually had the Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 and gave it away because as versatile as those shades are I'm just not into cool toned eyeshadows, I love warm toned, reddish browns, browns with an orange undertone and golds. So I won't be getting any of these palettes which is probably a good things since I probably own too many eyeshadows.

Loving the shades in both the Maybelline and Rimmel palettes - I'm a fan of the cool tones and need to get myself a palette for summer - will have to check them both out in store.

I like the warmer tones but I find palettes are too wasteful for me as too many tones don't get used

I am loving the look of the Rimmels Magnif'eyes Smoke Edition palette it's also probably the cheapest of the bunch. I do like palettes but don't wear eye make up enough to spend hundreds on them.

I don’t tend to use eye shadow often as my eye lids can get a bit dry.. but I just love the look of them. Especially the basics.. the simple.. the nudes.. the naturals... just like the Urban decay naked 2 basics palette. But the Rimmel and Maybelline palettes also catches my eye.

Love palettes.. all the above look amazing!! Definitely a fan. I use to use a lot of individual colours but didn’t use them fast enough so palettes are perfect.
