What’s your go-to eyeshadow palette for summer? Weekly Features 6/13/16June 13, 2016 This summer, I think it might be the Viseart Ribbons Boheme palette! — Christine
Denise S. Dark Tan, Yellow, moderately yellow undertones. Combination skin. »Same as you Christine! I usually wear my Dior Garden Pastels palette a lot during the summer. But this year I’ll be rocking Ribbons Boheme all the way! It’s a great palette!
Nancy T Medium-Tan, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin. »It all depends on the look I’m going for and what else I plan on wearing that day? So there is no consistent go-to summer palette perse. I do have a few new favorites, though! For glam and sophistication: Chanel Empriente du Desert quad. For fun looks and or versatility: BH Foil Eyes and Nyx Ultimate Brights eyeshadow palettes. I also love MAC Halcyon Nights for another small, but beautifully done little palette.
Katherine T.Nancy, I’ve been eyeing that NYX Ultimate Brights palette for a while. Is it pigmented? Can you use just primer or do you have to use a Milk pencil?
Nancy TI’ve used it with and without Milk, and have gotten some bangin’ eye looks both ways! Some shades DO benefit from using a white base that has the ability to take the brightness up a notch. All in all, I am very happy with this little palette for colorful, fun, vivid looks!
Pearl Light-Medium, Yellow, moderately yellow undertones. »MAC Amber x 9 or if we can count quads, Chanel Empreinte du Desert!
Katherine T.I like the UD XX Vice Ltd Reloaded palette –it has pops of color that go with brighter summer clothes, but the colors aren’t too OTT, so versatile enough to wear to the office
EricaI use the same one as I do all year. My z palette w all my MAC eyeshadows. In summer though I stick to my peach, champagne and bronzey shades!
TammyIf the colors work out ok for me it’s gonna be the Grav3yard Girl Swamp Queen Pallette! I want to swatch it before I buy it, so I’m waiting til it shows up at Ulta. It’s really calling me, so I hope it looks ok!
MartaI have a CARGO California Throwback waiting for some tan on my face (goldish shimmery beige, turquoise shimmer, beige and dark brown mattes + warm shimmery bronzer and blush). For fun I will use the Sleek Del Mar I and the Sleek Calm before the storm – both wearable with colors. And for a quick makeup MUR Naked Chocolate – this one has that gold-ish beachy vibe on neutral shades.
Mariella Fair, Pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I don’t think I have one – I love eyeshadows so much I don’t think I could stick to just one. But right now, it’s been Chanel’s Empreinte du Desert quad. And Stila’s Spirit palette is always within close reach because it has so many shades that it’s a great one to have at hand.
jade Light, Pink undertones. Normal skin. »i have this really pretty bohemian palette (i believe it’s by makeup forever) and it’s just 6 gorgeous eyeshadow colors. i got it as a gift a few years back 🙂
Kiss & Make-up Light-Medium, Yellow undertones. Very Oily skin. »Right now I’m really loving the Makeup Geek Manny MUA palette and though it’s not really a seasonal palette I’m sure I’ll wear it a lot this next summer!
DarleneI don’t wear eyeshadow that often in the summer – however, I’m really liking Revlon Floating in Love for Spring 2016 eyeshadow palette in Romanticism – pretty pink, gray, lilac and mint!
WildDoveWearing Rainforest of the Sea myself this summer! Along with a variety of peachy-bronzy and blue-grey singles.
Chelle Fair-Light, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Normal-to-Oily skin. »It’s been a total toss up between Too Faced’s Sweet Peach or Peanut Butter & Jelly!
Stephanie Light, Neutral undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »This is completely backwards since you’re “supposed” to do color in the summer and since I love color, but I’ve been on a neutral kick for the past several weeks. It’s been nonstop Naked 2, Chocolate Bar, Gwen Stefani, and original Naked lately.But knowing me, I’ll probably get tired of neutrals soon and start digging into Urban Spectrum, Electric, or one of the Vice palettes again!
JoyceI really like Too Faced Sweet Peach for the shimmery browns, smokey plums, and unexpected colors like green!
Ashleigh Fair, Neutral undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly palette so far! It doesn’t leave the top of my vanity, it’s just too cute.
Lulle Light, Yellow, slight yellow undertones. Combination skin. »I actually tend to use cream eyeshadows a lot in the summer, so there’s no palette that I use more often than usual!
Yvette Light-Medium, Olive, cool undertones. Combination skin. »usually the Naked 1 palette but this summer I’m going use Naked 3 more.
StephanieProbably the new Chanel Empriente du Desert quad, and the MAC Wild Horses quad. I love a neutral eye with a pop of colour for summer.
HeatherI’m lazy, so I’m just using singles! I like L’Oreal 24H Infallible and Maybelline Color Tattoo for their finger-friendly application, long wear, and ability to work well as a one-color wash on the lids. 🙂
Rachel R. Fairest, Neutral undertones. Oily skin. »I switch all the time, and I’m a palette junkie, so I don’t have a single go-to. For color palettes, I’ve been reaching most often for UD Electric, UD Urban Spectrum, UD Alice TTLG, and Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly. For neutrals, I’ve been favoring UD x Gwen Stefani, Tarte Rainforest of the Sea, UD Naked 3, Makeup Revolution Salvation Palette in Girl Panic, and MUFE Artist Palette Vol. 1. As the temps get hotter, the more I’ll reach for the light neutrals and get my pops of color from waterproof eyeliners and bright lip colors.
MariaI like to wear Tom Ford’s Cream eyeshadows one shade all over the lid or I love Chanel’s Les 4 Ombres compacts I own several different ones. I usually only apply two or three eyeshadows from the compact at once. Also Tom Ford’s Honeymoon which I love. It really depends on what I am wearing and how I feel that day.
DeniseI usually don’t change my eyeshadows just because seasons change. I love all eye shadows. That is except if they are too shimmery. I am especially loving Naked 1,2, and 3. And Kat Von D Shade and Contour. As we get older,our eyes begin to wrinkle (UGHHHH) The bright and shimmery colors accent all the fine lines!!! Oh to be young and daring again!!!!!!!!
NicoleI’m crazy for palettes but if I could only have one this summer it would be UD Alice. The bright colors are sheer so they are easy to wear on hooded eyes (at least mine). 😉
Deborah S.I am enjoying using the Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Palette for most of my look and then adding a pop of color with a bolder liner. The palette is very neutral and easy to use and has been great to travel with which is something that I have been doing a lot lately. I have been doing a lot of one or two night trips and the palette tucks right into my bag.
GKI got the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea during the Sephora discount this spring. I’ve been enjoying it & will continue until I get bored, or find something else.
Susan Dowman NevlingI don’t tan so I don’t really change shadow palettes. I use the UD Naked palettes, some Clinique palettes and a neutral matte one by Too Faced. I tend to go a bit lighter in summer though. I have a palette by Eve Lom that I received in one of my several subscription boxes. I’ve hit pan on two colors and am unable to find a replacement. It consists of six colors varying from cream, peach, burgundy and a range of three blue-greens. Anyone have any ideas on how to find this? I tried all the searches I could think of.
Jenny GI tend to go to my matte palettes. Meet Matte Nude, Tartallete, In the Know and Shade & Light Eyes are my favorites
BeverageCurrently Violet Voss Holy Grail and Kat Von D shade and light. Looking to pick up ABH Renaissance
Robin Fairest, Neutral undertones. Combination skin. »Just got Anastasia’s Modern Renaissance palette, LOVE IT. So flattering and versatile. Also enjoying Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea for easy daytime looks, and Cargo’s Land Down Under for pops of something brighter!
Cat Fair, Pink, strong pink undertones. Combination skin. »I don’t really have a go-to palette for summer. I gravitate towards certain colors (pink, purple, teal) and will grab palettes that contain those shades. The easiest one is the TF Pink Glow palette since it has coordinating eye and cheek products.
Genevieve Fairest, Pink undertones. Dry skin. »That’s a gorgeous palette you’ve chosen Christine – it really screams spring and summer. I don’t really have a summer eye palette as such, I just tend to use some individual colours more like mint. Dior’s Jardin – just gorgeous colours Guerlain’s Les Gris – for beautiful blues Benefit’s Shamrocker – for mint.
NaomiI don’t really go brighter for my eyeshadow in the summer, instead I tend to do a one wash of color on the lids kind of look and then a bold bright summer lip! for this reason I gravitate more toward singles or eyeshadow crayons (specially the nyx ones)
Debbie Light, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette with pops of color from UD’s Alice Through the Looking Glass palette.
AmaraI just bought the ABH modern renaissance palette on a whim and 2 days in, i’m in love. this may be used for the majority of my summer!
Michelle HDesperately in search of a nice mix of shadows with matte, satin, maybe a lightening one..just feeling too old with all this shimmer lately!
Tracey E.I wear cream shadows a lot in the summer (Tom Tord, Charlotte Tilbury, Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier) more than a particular palette.
HollyI’ll be using my Too Faced Sweet Peach palette and Urban Decay Alice Through The Looking Glass palette all summer
Tracy Light, Neutral undertones. Combination skin. »This year it’s going to be my Marc Jacobs Style Eyecon No. 7 in The Siren palette paired with my Naked2 Basics. Between those two, I have every summer look covered.
Erin Fairest, Neutral undertones. Combination skin. »I haven’t got one for summer! I tend to do color washes in the summer with light shimmer shades and a bold liner or colored mascara.
Diane Deep Dark, Neutral undertones. Combination skin. »I think it’s my own made make up geek palette 🙂
DianeFor a natural look , i put mocha in the crease , coco bear on the lid and shimma shimma inner conner or cosmopolitan ( it’s my all time favorite)
