ColourPop Matte About Hue Palette can be worn alone, which I've shared 10 different color combinations for below, but it's also a palette that pairs well with your favorite shimmers and other palettes that may need more colorful mattes to make them more versatile. I've also included seven ways to...
Today's color combinations are inspired by ColourPop's Smoke 'n' Roses mega eyeshadow palette , which felt like a waste of a theme! There was so much that could have been done there. First and foremost, roses come in a variety of shades, undertones, and depth. There are pale and pastel roses that...
December birthstones include tanzanite, turquoise, and zircon -- very much a blue-dominated gem selection! Tanzanite is an interesting gem as it noted for its deep, saturated blue to violet hues, which can come naturally or from heating a gem, and unheated tanzanite stones can run murky green-brown...
November has two birthstones: topaz, which is often found in shades of colorless, light blue, yellow, orange, pink, violet, and brown, but topaz birthstone jewelry is typically sold in shades of blue (which can be heated colorless topaz); and citrine, which is typically light yellow to burnt orange.
Here's a recap of all of the looks I've shared (thus far, I'm sure I'll be sharing more here and there!) using the palettes, both individually, together, and as one-and-done looks. You can also check out the full collection round-up if you've missed anything about the collection.
If I counted them up...
October has two birthstones: opal and tourmaline. Opals are known their play-of-color, which creates a range of color in a pattern that contrasts against the background color of the opal. They often look almost like an iridescent rainbow; there are a lot of varieties of opal, but the more popular...
Sapphires are pretty nifty as they come in a massive range in colors. The "common" color is a rich blue, but within blue, it really can range from pale aqua to nearly blue-black.
I learned about the range of colors when I redesigned my wedding set to be all about sapphires and later a necklace in...
Here's another set of summery color combinations featuring Sydney Grace single eyeshadows!
What kind of colors do you reach for most during the summer? I feel like there's a lot of warmer neutrals--bronzy, coppery, and gold--and then on the more intense spectrum, brighter pops of color.
August birthstones include peridot, which is a more yellow-toned based green (ranging from lighter chartreuse to olive green) and spinel, which comes in a greater variety of shades but tends to be more popular in red, pink, purple, and blue, though orange, violet, and bluish-green spinels can be...
Tomorrow, August 1st, Sydney Grace single eyeshadows will be 25% off, so I thought I'd take some time to play with possible custom 9-pan palettes for those who find themselves overwhelmed by the brand's single eyeshadow selection.
Have you made a custom Sydney Grace palette before? What's in yours?
