Waiting for the Pendulum to Swing to Cool Eyeshadow Shades

pommom — Fri, 06 Sep 2019 23:39:39 GMT

Haven't bought e/s palettes or singles in forever! They all look alike what with the warm shades. I cannot wear warm shades - including peach. There is a glimpse of hope, though. I saw two palettes on youtube that are leaning toward cools. Bring them on!!!

@pommom Sephora has a 'cool' eueshadow palette that comes in lt. cool, med. cool and dk. cool shades. I bought the lt. cool and med. cool. Very pretty on-matte and shimmer shades. $14.00 each.

@pommom Cool shadows must be on the way! Before this peachy/sunset craze, all shadows were brownish/taupe/beige/nude. It is time!!!

Totally agree! I just bought a Laura Geller for the love of chocolate set at TJ maxx mainly because I really liked the eyeshadow palette in the kit.

Cool shadow Ladies: I’ve researched 2 great palettes.

Marc Jacobs. Steeletto. (greys, cool browns, etc.). Matte &

Shimmers, but can lightly apply a matte over

those to tone down a bit $49

Too Faced Natural Lust Palette (Cruelty Free). Lg. w/

many shadows/finishes

neutral cool shades of pink. rose, medium

brown tones. $59

Yes, both kind of expensive. Good color payoff, little fallout. Have used both in Pro Kit and tired of waiting for other new ones. Will be purchasing these for personal use at Sephora today. Shucks! Wish I’d thought of it during VIB discount. Oh well.

***Have been trying to purchase fewer expensive makeup items instead of a lot of drugstore ones that have disappointed. Tossed many Milani shadow palettes, but my expensive palettes & lipsticks made the cut.

***Also will purchase Marc Jacobs 3 single shadows in a cool all over shade, a light heather and a light grey to layer over warm tones in my other palettes.

I am still waiting for the pendulum to swing away from those hideous matte lipsticks and even more hideous skinny jeans. I've never seen anyone of any description look good in either, not even models.

Still waiting for shades of gray. You rarely see gray in any palettes. It's all brown. Sure, brown can be cool, but I'd rather have all tones of gray.

I definitely prefer cool tones eyeshadows, not fan of warm. I might mix warm and cool once in a while but prefer the cool tones and wish they would come back. All the new palettes seem to be all warm tone colors.

Let me join the cool brigade. Taupe and browns just don't do a thing for my green/blue eyes. And please no glitter to mess with my contacts.

@ElvisShops I completely agree with the matte lipstick thing, but I look kinda spiffy in my skinny jeans. The right top/shoes/attitude (and being thin) are essential....or at least wearing the correct size for your shape.

@LuvmyLab Many times palettes are a mixture of both tones. I hit the pan on cool ones and the warmer ones are rarely worn. That’s a waste of money. I pass on a lot of palettes and purchase singles.

@GingerPeach I know the subject is dead and buried, but Bobbi Brown had the right idea. You chose your individual shadows and a 6 pan palette that you popped them into. At one time, I had (personally) 8 filled palettes with either 6 shadows or with a few blushes in them (collected over 25 years). They also were purchased that way.

Laura Mercier did have the same system, but I haven’t checked lately if discontinued. BB is discontinuing single shadows and empty palettes (on the 25% off page online). It’s an expensive way to go, but you get only the shades you want.

For an almost all cool & matte palette, look at the IT Romantics palette (online here)...the 2nd palette they did. It has a larger pan of shimmer to add to any of the mattes.

I believe Buxom offers a fill your own palette choice.

Also, Thrive has a great quad that has cool lavenders and a smoky blue color.

Marc Jacobs Frivoluxe has two shades of gray along with some purple and plum shades. When I saw the purple I thought oh no way but I liked the palette. The SA at Sephora even said you can't wear that. Well I bought it anyway and I use the purple shade very lightly and it looks very pretty. There's also a light pink in the palette.All of the shades go together very nicely.

I saw that one, @Shanus , thanks!

I have the first IT Romantics Naturally Pretty palette and find the shadows don't last on me as well as say, the Bare Minerals Gen Nude (I have the "Rose" in that one). So I hesitate to purchase the 2nd IT palette. Of course, the BM one is "supposed" to be, at least, neutral, but it's really not. BM has too many shimmery, sparkly shades, too.

Well, the pendulum will swing eventually.

@Shanus You could absolutely be the exception.
