ColourPop Smoke Show 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($12.00 for 0.36 oz.) is all about white, gray, and black, and it’s a recent addition to the brand’s line of monochromatic color palettes. Here are some color combinations that you might want to try!

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!

When I first saw the topic of this post I thought it would be difficult to come up with enough different combo’s to make it worthwhile. I really love them all and look forward to trying several of these combos. I imagine that the overall feel of the looks would be pretty similar but that is the nature of a more monochromatic palette.

Thank you Christine – it does seem a bit tricky in a monotone palette to come up with different combinations to make the palette ‘work’ for you. And these are such versatile shades that you could easily use them with other colours like navy, purples, greens etc to make the most out of those shades as well. Smokin’, Full Metal and Ignite would work beautifully with other colours.

For the price and quality, to me this palette is a no-brainer for the cool-toned ladies who are looking to include the grey-taupe family of shades in their collection. I think of this as a workhorse palette — one you go to over and over, not necessarily for a stand-alone smokey look (although you’ve created several excellent color stories to do so), but as a complement palette for so many other cool-toned color stories. (What a perfect stocking stuffer!)
