Five for Friday: Color Splish-Splash Inspiration

Christine | Updated: 4/30/21April 30, 2021

I tend to gravitate toward color over neutrals, though I do really love all the shades eyeshadow comes in, so here are five color combinations using Sydney Grace Eyeshadows for my fellow color-lovers!

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. Consider these ideas a jumping off point with four “core” colors that can inspire your next look. For reference, based on how I usually apply makeup, I would consider applying the shades in this order: inner lid, middle of lid, outer lid/crease, and crease/above crease or lid.

Deep Tan, Yellow, moderately yellow undertones. Combination skin.

Perfect timing! I need some inspiration to use this palette more. Love the looks.

Shawne

These are amazing, can’t wait to try them when I can wear eyeshadow again!

Mary

Wow! Just so inspirational !
Those combos are beautiful especially love the golden bronze / greens … … I may have to get this ..

Genevieve

Lightest, Pink undertones. Dry skin.

Love these Christine- especially Fairies at Midnight.

Very Light, Neutral undertones.

Just promise when you do your Sydney Grace collab there are PLENTY of palettes for us! I’m afraid it will be like other SG palettes that sell out and never come back. (Hi, Tiny Marvels, looking at you!)

Christine

Light Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin.

I’ve seen Tiny Marvels restocked a lot, though I don’t think it lasts long in a restock – definitely follow them on social media (like Instagram) for updates, though 🙂

There should be plenty!

Thanks for the advice, will follow!
