Viseart Cool Mattes 2 (11) Eyeshadow Palette ($80.00 for 0.84 oz.) is a new, updated take on Cool Mattes featuring a slew of smokier, cooler hues ranging from cool beige to cool violet. It’s an all-matte palette, and with the types of shades included, it’s not a palette I feel is versatile on its own. Part of that feeling does come from the fact that they quality was a bit inconsistent, and my experience was that it was better in practice when I used this palette for crease and transition shades rather than all over the lid.

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!
