Colors of Love Island

The reality show Love Island (UK) is a guilty pleasure in my household, and I thought it would be fun to put together some color combinations inspired by summer love and romance. I took inspiration from warm, sunny days to strolls on the beach to sunsets, and in some instances, the color story came together because of the shade names and how they felt like they could fit my lil’ theme.

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!
