ColourPop Misunderstood Eyeshadow Palette Makeup Look Ideas (x10)
ColourPop Misunderstood Eyeshadow Palette contains mostly shimmery shades in colorful to colorful-leaning-neutral shades–blackened plum, teal, and green are more grounding shades to my eye than pops of purple and green. There are some mattes in the palette, but depending on your skin tone, you’ll likely want to grab a couple of light and more mid-tone shades to bring everything together. What I liked most about this palette was that you could get several different looks 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!

Beautiful combinations, Christine. They really showcase how this palette can be used for brighter looks, and not just be a dark jewel or smokey palette as a lot of people were fearing.
Oooo…I need to try some of these combos! Thank you! :o)
Gorgeous combinations Christine, it really shows the best of the palette.
4.0 is whispering to me…
