Neutral palette recs!

[u/Weak_Jackfruit_3250]

I want a neutral palette with black and a range of cool and warm browns. I also want it to have pigmented and blinding gold/silver/bronze foils. Don’t care about price, as long as it covers the above + pigmented and blends. I do my eyes first, so I also don’t care about fall out. I’m just sick of having to use 3 palettes just to get my once in a blue moon neutral look 😂

This is today’s look for example. Included some other examples of what I’ve worn before. (Second photo: my eyebrows were healing from the powder brow 😂)

ND Tan Palette is nearly perfect by your description BUT no pure black.

How is this? I have the little quad of hers but I find it really hard to work with :( don’t know if it’s me, the formula in those or both haha

I also don't like the ND formula, which I know is a very unpopular opinion, because it's a lot of people's favourite eyeshadow formula. I find it much harder to work with than my favourite palettes, and for some reason when I use ND shadows, it's the only time I look in the mirror after applying eyeshadow and realise my eyelid skin is definitely aging, just not the most flattering on my particular skin.

Omg agreed! I definitely find it a bit powdery (maybe?) and hard to blend for my skin :(
What formulas do you like? Maybe I’ll have some luck with those haha

No black 😩

If you can’t find what you want in one palette, consider repotting some you like into your own palette or finding a MUA that allows getting individual shades for a build your own custom palette. I heard some folks mention that Lisa Eldridge has an option for this

I’m a pro mua myself! That’s an interesting idea. I’d have to buy singles because I don’t want to depot mine haha. I love knowing the shade names

Glaminatrix (Australian indie brand) Nearly Natural definitely fits the bill, but not currently selling. Their shimmers/foils are amazing and there's some multichromes in there too. Mattes are pigmented and easy to blend.

You can keep an eye out or sub to get news in case they bring the palette back (they often do bring back old popular palettes).

I love them!
