10 x Smashbox Petal Metal Cover Shot Eye Palette Look Ideas

Smashbox Petal Metal Cover Shot Eye Palette ($28.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a very rosy/coppery mix of shades with lots of frosted and metallic shades (six to be exact) and two mattes. I do think that there are several different combinations to be created but find that they can run together side-by-side. I would recommend trying some of the lighter shades with a dampened brush to brighten and get more variance out of the palette.

About This Series

Each look idea is centered around a “quad” of four shades with the expectation that one might bring in the appropriate brow bone or additional transitional shade based on skin tone. I know that I tend to use more like five or six shades in a typical look, but I think that four is a happy medium to give a good idea of the “core” color scheme of a look while giving you the ability to lighten/darken as desired. I have listed the colors in this order: inner lid, middle of lid, outer lid/crease, and crease/above crease.

You might see combinations that seem slightly repeated but placement will vary (e.g. a halo placement where the lightest and more shimmery shade is placed on the center) as placement can also create a different effect/look! You might also want to consider incorporating your favorite matte/shimmer shades (as applicable) to increase the versatility of certain palettes. Consider these ideas a jumping off point!
