Tiny Marvels

Sydney Grace Tiny Marvels Eyeshadow Palette ($52.00 for 0.95 oz.) includes eight matte eyeshadows and seven shimmer eyeshadows. All of the eyeshadows had semi-opaque to opaque coverage and lasted between eight to nine hours with the majority of shades being very easy to use. The one shade that was as blendable as it could have been was Jewel Bee, but it wasn't difficult to work with by any means. I found the performance to be consistent with the brand's matte/shimmer formulas overall.

I had a few readers request some help on figuring out color combinations, so I tried to rearrange the palette here and here (view them vertically since we don't have the width to display five shades horizontally!). I tried to arrange them in a way that made sense vertically (as a group of five) and horizontally (as a group of three).

After using the two more contrasting shades specifically for looks (Jewel Bee and Mantis), it was a bit harder to incorporate them than I anticipated. I think that some of the cooler-toned shades, like Jewel Bee, and Mantis (which runs cooler-toned than most of the shades one might normally pair with green, like Death Moth, Walkin' Stick, and Treehopper) are easiest to work with as 2-3 shade looks or might need an additional shade or two pulled from one's stash. I will try to come up with some combos and share them in a separate post!
