Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte Darling Easy Eye Palette Review & Swatches

Charlotte Darling

Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte Darling Easy Eye Palette ($57.00 for 0.19 oz.) includes six shades that have been pulled from Bella Sofia (previously The Dolce Vita) and the Love Eyes/Happy Eyes trios from the Stars in Your Eyes palette. All six shades performed well; they were pigmented, blendable, and easy to work with and lasted eight to nine hours on me.

I don’t think it’s the same as the Easy Smokey Eye Palette that launched earlier this year at Nordstrom, but there is a fair amount of overlap between Easy Smokey Date (Enhance), Easy Smokey Day (Smoke), and Easy Smokey Day (Prime). (the other three are less similar).

The Dolce Vita #1

The Dolce Vita #1 is a bright, light-medium gold with strong, warm peach undertones and a metallic finish. The eyeshadow had rich color coverage paired with a smooth, cream-like texture that was dense without being too heavy or too thick, so it sat well on bare skin and blended out easily. I felt like it was softer than I recall the original quad I have this in (which was from when the first debuted stateside). It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before starting to fade.

Happy Eyes (Prime)

Happy Eyes (Prime) is a bright, medium-dark reddish-copper with warm undertones and a metallic finish. The eyeshadow had opaque color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly to my lid. The texture was lightly creamy, dense without being too heavy or too stiff in the pan, so it had great adhesion but was easy to work with. The color stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before showing signs of wear.

Happy Eyes (Smoke)

Happy Eyes (Smoke) is a muted, medium brown with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had excellent color payoff in one layer, which adhered well to bare skin and blended out easily.
