How to choose the best eyeshadow colour for you!

How to choose the best eyeshadow colour for you!

Hey, my loves!  I’ve been waiting to show you guys the new SWATI Eyeshadow palettes for what seems like forever! When we created these eyeshadow palettes, we wanted to complement every eye colour there is. During this process, we realized how different the perfect eyeshadow is for every eye colour and we were surprised we’d never seen it done before!

The team and I worked together to make sure each shade was stunning in its own right, but it was also important that they worked together and would complement each other. So, using our vast knowledge of undertones and tones from our range of coloured lenses, we created four palettes each with the perfect shades for each eye colour, plus something a little different.

Each palette has seven super-pigmented and ultra blendable shades and one matte creamy primer that helps give maximum color payoff. Each palette consists of four buttery matte shades and three complementary metallic shadows for unexpected pops of shimmer that allow you to create dimension with every look, but also work together as stand-alone shadows. Of course, you can choose whichever palette speaks to you, and you can mix and match them too.

Here are our gorgeous palettes and a day to night guide on how to get the best out of them!

IF YOU HAVE HAZEL OR BROWN EYES:

From the minty tints of the Caribbean sea to the glittery stars above, the AZURITE palette will make brown and hazel eyes reach the top.

For a classic day look, use the matte shade MARBLE to create a base on the eyelids, then add the shade FIRE OPAL in the inner corner using the brush 08 Pencil and add a sharp winged line to elongate your eyes with VANTA Liquid Eyeliner.

Pro tip: for an extra Euphoria touch, you can add a small crystal and the end of the wing. Best part? VANTA will hold it all day long and you won't need any additional glue to add the crystals.

For a sultry night look, start with the PRIMER on the eyelids, followed by MIDNIGHT SKY all over the lid and the lower lash line. Top it off with the metallic shade LOLITE. Smoke the eyes with a matte BLACK ROSE into the crease socket. Finish off with FIRE OPAL on the inner corners. Don’t forget to add some sequins and glitter to get the #Euphoria aesthetic using QUARTZ Eyelash Glue Pen that with its precise tip will allow you a perfectly precise application that last all night long.

But you don’t have to be a brown-eyed goddess to wear these shades of blue! Transform your eyes with two of our timeless coloured lenses that perfectly complement this palette; BRONZE and SANDSTONE. Now go, give the world something to worship.

IF YOU HAVE GREEN OR LIGHT BROWN EYES:

From the tones of sweet peaches to shiny diamonds, the AMETHYST palette will put eyes with green, brown or yellow tinges on top of their game.

For an ethereal day look, start with the creamy matte PRIMER, followed by LILAC on the crease as a base. Then move on to a richer PLUM shade on the crease to sharpen and intensify the crease, blending the two shades seamlessly with a blending brush like 01 Soft crease Brush. Create a spotlight on the middle of the eyelids by using your ring finger or a little setting spray on an eyeshadow brush by using PEACH on the center and dust off with DIAMOND on top. Apply KUNZITE on the inner corner (be careful not to touch the crease).
