Frost Your Eyes With These Limited-Edition Popping Eye Palettes

18 Jul, 2019

Add a touch of sparkle to matte make-up with this special release eye shadows round up from our fave beauty brands.

When the temperature shifts, there’s nothing like a touch of pearlescent shimmer of shadow flickering against the lids to add some glow to your complexion.

Far from frosting the eye like our mums did in the 70’s, the new look of now is all about a wash of frost colour over matte brown tones.

New formulations keep the colours pigmented and easy to apply, while shade composition vary enough in the one kit to allow for a build-able look that can even be mixed and matched with your pre-existing eye shadows.

Limited edition beauty drops are all about experimenting with shades in new combinations… and allowing us the thrill of a dalliance that last forever. Here are a few of my favourites that give a classy sparkle to tired winter eyes.

My favourite colours this season are definitely leaning more towards the rosier, mauve and ruddy bronze shades – and this limited-edition 12 shadow palette is exactly this! Shimmering nudes and shade-shifting rose glitters catch light for explosive dimension, with burnished mattes smouldering with high-impact intensity. While the shimmery shadows may look intense and quite bold sitting in the palette, layered over the warmer matte browns in the side of the palette on the eye breaks up the shimmer to a more dreamy, subtle shade. The formula works well as an eyeshadow or liner, applied wet or dry.
