About Your STYLondon Eyeshadow Palette

Both our ‘angel’ and ‘devil’ boxes include a highly-pigmented, mineral-based eyeshadow palette that is vegan, paraben-free and talc-free.

Featuring 9 velvety hues in matte and shimmery finishes, you will either receive a range of pink, purple and neutral shades, or a combination of red and oranges. Either way, here’s how you can create a show-stopping look…

Create An Angelic Look With Your STYLondon Eyeshadow Palette

My love ofpurple makeup might make me a little biased here, but I absolutely adore the 'angel' eyeshadow palette! The colours are really buildable and blend well together.

While you can always sweep a single colour across your lid for a delicate look, here's how I would combine these stunning shades:

A Ten-Step Tutorial

STEP 1: Apply concealer over your lid to create a base for your eye look.
STEP 2: Sweep the top left hue (1) over your lid. This will help to set your concealer and create a light-coloured base that will really make your final look pop!
STEP 3: Use a large eyeshadow brush to gently buff the top right hue (2) into the crease of your eye socket and blend it outwards. You want to create a soft and subtle effect.

STEP 4: Buff the top middle hue (3) over your whole lid, using it to blend the other two shades together.
STEP 5: Collect pigments from both the bottom left (4) and middle (5) shades and gently buff them over your whole lid to create a matte purple colour.
STEP 6: Use your fingers to pack the bottom middle hue (6) onto the middle of your lid. Heavy patting motions will be most effective.
STEP 7: Apply a touch of the top left hue (1) to the inner corner of your eye.

STEP 8: Repeat the process on your lower lash line, applying the top left hue (1) to your inner corner, the bottom left shade (4) in the outer corner and the bottom middle colour (6) in the middle. You can then blend them together.
STEP 9: Glide a touch of liquid eyeliner along your lash line.
STEP 10: Round off the look with a few lashings of mascara, then shape your eyebrow using an eyebrow pencil.

And voila! If you're looking for a new liquid eyeliner or mascara, I'd recommend L'Oréal Paris Flash Winged Eyeliner and MAC's Extended Play Lash Mascara.

The Finished Look

Create A Fiery Eye Look With Your STYLondon Eyeshadow Palette

You have to admit, the 'devil' palette is pretty special too! Boasting nine red and orange shades, it's not a typical everyday palette you'd buy for yourself! Here’s how you can use its fiery shades to create a blazing eye look:

A Seven-Step Tutorial

STEP 1: Apply concealer over your lid to create a base for your eye look.
STEP 2: Apply the top left hue (1) over your whole lid to create a matte base and gently blend it in.
STEP 3: Gently buff the middle left hue (2) into the crease of your eye socket.
STEP 4: Sweep the middle right hue (3) along your lash line, focusing on the lower section of your lid and avoiding the centre of your lid.

STEP 5: Use your finger to gently dot some concealer onto the middle of your lid that you avoided in step 4. Then, pack on the top middle (4) and top right (5) hues over the concealer using your finger.
STEP 6: Repeat the process on your lower lashline. Sweep the middle left hue (2) into the inner corner of your eye, then apply the middle right hue (3) onto the outer corner of your eyes and add a touch of sparkly pigments using the top right hue (5) in the middle. You can then blend them together.
STEP 7: Finish off the look with a few lashings of mascara, then shape your eyebrows using an eyebrow pencil.

And voila! If you're looking for a new mascara or eyebrow pencil, I'd recommend Maybelline's Lash Sensational Intense Mascara and benefit's Precisely My Brow Pencil.
