I’m a complete beginner when it comes to eye makeup (despite being in my 30s). Although teenage me wore garish and awfully applied eyeshadow, nowadays I just use mascara and a bold lipstick. I’d like to get an eyeshadow palette that I can experiment with for parties, but I just don’t know where to start. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Key information about me:

  • Warm skin tones, somewhat pale, blue eyes and light red hair (golds, oranges and browns tends to look best on me, but pinks and some greens and purples also work well)
  • Sensitive skin, especially around my eyes, so I’m wary of going for the cheapest option
  • I want to have fun with this; I like the idea of bold colours rather than a pale taupe or brown that’s just a smidgeon darker than my natural skin colour
  • Based in the EU, so I have access to Sephora and major brands but not all the US ones

Thanks so much in advance!

    Thanks for the suggestion! I think you’re right about them being good colours for me. It simultaneously looks like it could be a “comfort zone” palette and fun to play with.
