12 x Fenty Beauty Moroccan Spice Eyeshadow Palette Look Ideas

Fenty Beauty Moroccan Spice Eyeshadow Palette ($59.00 for 0.47 oz.) is a new, 16-pan palette that features an array of shimmers and mattes with pops of color and warmer neutrals. In practice, I found it harder to work with despite, at a glance, seeing several different color combinations. I struggled due to the shimmers looking less shiny/shimmery after a few minutes, so shades seemed to muddy and look faded with less contrast than I expected. I think this palette will work best for someone who uses two to four shades in a look, doesn’t mind bringing in a few outside shades, and uses primer.

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!
