as a self professed make-up junkie, I have more makeup than I will probably ever use (but that doesn't stop me from buying/trying new things). eyeshadow is one of my favorite products to try, but more often than not I find myself gravitating towards the same colors/textures/shadows over and over again. while I love the look of a dark smokey eye, or a fun colorful eye look, that just isn't what I find myself wearing. I love a natural smokey eye, shadows in taupe, bronze or rose gold, and keeping things very clean and blended. while most makeup junkies live and die by the Urban Decay Naked Palettes 1, 2 & 3, I'm a stubborn girl and never gave into that trend (#ridiculous). instead, I bought (and fell in LOVE) with the Stila In the Light Palette.
the colors are perfect for my everyday look- great light highlights, mid-tone taupes, deeper warm browns, and a basic matte black for liner. I love that the shadows come in a mix of finishes (matte, satin, and shimmer) which makes it possible to do a complete eye look with this palette alone. the only shadow that I find myself never using (and wishing they had skipped) is the shimmery blue- but I think it's good that they stuck a color in there in case you wanted to brighten up a look. I also love that they included a liner (the Smudge Stick Waterproof eyeliner in Damsel), making this the perfect travel companion. it's no surprise that Stila is one of my favorite makeup brands (their Stay All Day Waterproof eyeliner is my holy grail), but this palette truly takes the cake!
what are some of your favorite eye shadow palettes?
