Hello,
when I saw this palette my heart skipped a beat. I like light make-up on my eyes and this one looked perfect for me.
It is
Etude Play Color Eyes Spring whipping cream eye shadow palette. Color palette looks delicate and shades look easy to use regarding to tones similar to my own skin tone.
I don't know what exactly it is but I love looking at it and shades somewhat look inviting, I feel like it is hard to mess up palette for me.
Top row here looks a bit deceiving.
First shade Butter Flavor is ivory but with a peachy pearl finish, on swatches bellow it is a bit more visible than here in the pan.
Cream shade is Scramble Whipping, it has very slight peach tone to it so it is not too stark but gentle and it blends perfectly into my skin.
Last in a row is Sugar & Salty, this one stands out since it is jelly bronzy/peachy glittery shade. Its tone and finish is different from anything else in this palette. It almost feely creamy in the palette but on the skin it blends in and there is no sticky creaminess.
Second row begins with
Whole Wheat Cookie. Compared to the second shade in the top row this one is more neutral, it has no peachy tones to it but can look a bit lighter on my skin tone so I like to use it if I want to accentuate the lid.
My photo doesn't do this middle Mochi Mochi shade justice. This one is a bit brighter in real life and gives a bit of kick to my make-up, it is still soft looking but inside this palette it is the brightest and most colorful.
Last one has almost identical coloring than the first in the same row but this one has some random silver glitters thrown in the mix, it is named Sugar Free. On the lid is pale, matte but still playful since the particles nicely reflect the light. It is super easy to use since it sets my primer, slightly brightens and covers the lid and at the same time adds sparkles.
Last row begins with
Oat Latte. I find this name very appropriate and fitting. It is matte and gives a bit of dimension to my lid. I like to use it all over the lid and drag it all the way up to my crease. It is light but has just enough coverage for quick and easy make-up look.
Heavy Cream is light grey. I love greys on me but often they are too deep and then look unnatural, this one is light and sheer. It still gives the coolness but somehow looks natural on me.
Last but not least is Two Shot Americano. On the photo below it looks a bit more realistic since this deep brown is warm toned, not Espresso deep, almost black shade. I like using it as a liner to create little nice wing but since it is not super deep my make-up still looks pretty natural.
I love the incorporated whipped relief on four shades, such a nice touch to stay on the theme. These four are raised and you get more powder with them.
At first glance these shades look very similar but since I am pale they show up and each has a slight difference in them so I can differentiate them and have use out of all of them.
First swatch is Butter Flavor with pearly finish, followed by a matte, peachy ivory Scramble Whipping (on their swatches this one looks peachier than on me). Glittery shade is Sugar & Salty and base does not translate on my skin. I kind of like that it is sheer because these shades are not my favorite (orange toned bronze shades look nice agains my grey/blue eyes but are not my personal preference).
After the shimmers shade is matte ivory (true ivory without any other undertones and that makes it hard to spot on my arm) Whole Wheat Cookie. The brightest Mochi Mochi shade is next which also does not stands out. On the other side is another ivory but this one has random glitters which sparkles in the sun but hardly visible on my photos - Sugar Free.
Last three have more coloring to them and stand out a bit more. Oat Latte looks warm toned nude, it has just enough color to gently define my eyes.
Grey Heavy Cream exude gentle coolness which I love.
Lastly there is Two Shot Americano for definition but stays in the warm territory. I like that they did not made it super dark and pigmented, I feel like it works better with the whole palette like so.
I understand that these swatches look almost the same but in person there is difference and for me they make a change. I personally like light tones, close to my skin tone with slight variation. I feel ike this palette was made for someone like me but I can see some people being disappointed with pale shades.
Here I would like to focus on the two glowy shades, first in line is Butter Flavor and third is Sweet & Salty. Just to show difference in the sparkly bits.
In the corner there is a bit of Sweet & Salty shade, followed by two mattes and then it is the ivory Sugar Free with random sparkles. It is such an unexpected shade and so nice to put it on when I am in a hurry.
This palette is gorgeous to look at and for me it is also joy to use on my eyes. I don't like big palettes since I often find repeat shades which look the same on me but here I really can't say the same. When I wear them on my eyes they are subtle but make a difference. I love the pale shades which imitate my personal coloring, added peach tones refresh my complexion while grey makes my heart sing. Added sparkles are a nice touch and having a variety of three is lovely, for me it is also very nice that they added darker shade to line but not overpower.
I wear all nine shades and rarely I can say that I love them all. I can't predict which one would be the first to be panned but I know I will not get sick of this color scheme.
I also purchased the Summer option which looks a bit deeper and more violet, we will see which one I will prefer at the end but the next one is held to a high standard for me .
Thank you for reading and have a nice day
