Finding a versatile eyeshadow pallet can always be a challenge. You want to make sure you are getting the best value for your money. For that to be the case you need to be able to get a day and night look with the same palette.
When you are looking for an eyeshadow palette that will transition from day to night looks there are certain things that need to be present no matter your style preferences. The palette will need to have a lighter or muted lid color for your day look.
The eyeshadow palette will also need a medium shade that can work as your crease color for the day look. When choosing a crease color for your day look there are no real rules to follow.
All that matters is that you feel confident in your choice.
When transitioning to a night look you will need a dark shade in the eye shadow palette. It is a classic night look to go with black but in today's fashion world you can experiment with other colors. You use the darker color in your crease to make a more dramatic look.
These are the base rules when looking for an eyeshadow palette that can be used for both day and night looks. The other rules will be determined by your personal preferences and style.
The Classic Palette
If you are more into the classic makeup looks you are going to want to make sure your eyeshadow pallets have all the colors you need to achieve these looks.
The best eyeshadow pallet to achieve classic looks will have a very light neutral color that can be used as a brow highlight and lid color. The palette should also have a tan color that can be used as your day crease and a dark brown and black that can be used for your crease when doing a night look.
Once you have your basic needs covered it would be helpful to also have a shimmer shade that can be used in both your day and night looks to add a little glamour and shine.
The Bold Palette
Some people would define their style as edgier. If you consider yourself in this category you may want to choose a palette with more bold colors.
You will still want the eyeshadow palette to have some muted tones or lighter shimmer color that you can use for a day time lid color. However, you can have a bold bright color as your crease color. You will want to pick a palette with multiple bright colors if the bold aesthetic is what you want.
You will want to make sure the eyeshadow palette has black because you will want this when going for your night looks. If you want to keep a classic element to your look you can place the black in your crease and do a bold color on the lid. Another option is to place the black on the lid and use the bold color in your crease to create a blended out smokey eye.
The Earthy Palette
For people who prefer a more natural look, an eyeshadow palette with more earthy shades will be the best fit for them to get night and day looks they will love.
This palette should contain many light neutral tones and medium and dark browns. The perfect palette would also contain some green and gold shimmer shades.
As with most pallets use a neutral color on the lid during the day with a medium tone in the crease. To punch up the look for night time add a dark color and a shimmer to the lid.
In conclusion, there are certain needs an
eyeshadow pallet must meet to be able to be used for both day and night looks. However, the true key to rocking a look night or day comes from you feeling confident and comfortable. So when picking out your eyeshadow palette make sure it fits your aesthetic and you will always look fierce.
