Look for palettes with a range of shades and finishes. This allows you to create a variety of looks that can be subtle to dramatic. Eyeshadow palettes that include a mix of matte, satin, and shimmer (glitter or metallic) finishes. There are all different types of face makeup to try. Depending on the look you are going for, you can achieve full coverage or sheer coverage; a dewy, shimmering or matte finish; highlighted and sculpted features; naturally flushed cheeks or high pigment cheek color. Here is a rundown of the most commonly used face makeup: Yet, the ELF Bite Size palette in Cream and Sugar is an interesting one to have in your stash if you find yourself reaching out for neutral eyeshadows often.

A big selling point, to me, for eyeshadow palettes is variety in the color range. I want to be able to see on the eye that multiple colors are being used to create the look, rather than getting the illusion that one shade was applied all over the lid. You can look in the pans of Berry Bad and Acai You and see there is not much variation between the shades, which translates to the eyes. Pumpkin Pie sort of does this too, but not to the extent of the others. This fact is disappointing, but the palettes still have their time and place. When selecting a beginner eyeshadow palette, there are a few things to consider. First, choose an eye palette that offers a range of neutral shades, as these are easier to work with. Look for a palette that includes both matte and shimmer finishes, allowing you to create different eye looks and experiment with textures. It's also helpful to choose a palette with instructions, guiding you on where to place each shade for a basic eye look.Used some setting spray on brush and dipped into shade 4 to get an intensified berry/brown on the outer corner Contour is typically a shade or two darker than your foundation or concealer.

In this review, I will share my thoughts on the product quality, a beautiful eye makeup look I created using all the colours, and whether I recommend buying this palette. This one boasts rather pink-toned eyeshadows, really just creamy tones, as the name gives away. I’ve found that all four eyeshadows in the Cream and Sugar palette really applied well, and lasted very well too. Really a great ELF Bite Size palette if you’d like to create some colorful green looks, or even go for green smokey eyes. Figure out your skin's undertone. Is your skin more warm, cool, or somewhere in between? For a warm undertone, think earthy vibes with shades of copper, bronze, rose gold and warm browns. If you have cool undertones, go for jewel tones, blues, purples and even silvers. If you have a neutral undertone, you can wear any color you want.

While you can totally do a full look with each palette, or mix and match, sometimes having only four shades can be limiting. Not all of the palettes have a neutral shade for the crease, or a white shade to set the eyelid. Depending on how fancy you want to get with your eye look, you may supplement with other palettes. Either way, your creativity is your only limit as you can create endless looks with each palette.
