Eyeshadow & Palettes

Eyeshadow is typically a single shade, while an eyeshadow palette contains multiple shades of eyeshadows in one compact. Eyeshadow palettes are more convenient for creating different looks, while single eyeshadows allow you to customize your own palette.

Our Hypnôse 5-Color Eyeshadow Palette is a great option if you’d like a variety of eyeshadow shades to choose from. It comes in several different color families, so you can find the perfect shades for your makeup look. If you’d prefer to create your own custom eye shadow palette, our Color Design Single Eyeshadows are a great option. They come in a variety of long-lasting, vibrant shades so you can mix and match to create your own unique palette.

Eyeshadow can be applied using various tools such as brushes, sponges, or even fingers. Brushes offer more precision and control, allowing for different blending techniques. Sponges can provide a more natural, diffused look. Your fingers offer the most direct application and can be useful for smudging or blending out harsh lines. Ultimately, the choice of applicator depends on the eye shadow or makeup eyeshadow palettes being used, desired effect, and individual comfort level.

When it comes to eyeshadow for aging eyes that won’t settle into lines or wrinkles, opting for a creamy eye shadow or eyeshadow with a shimmery finish are excellent choices. The shimmer finish helps brighten the eyes, while a creamy, long-lasting formula ensures that your look stays in place all day. Try Lancôme’s crease-resistant Color Design Eyeshadow in a shimmery shade like 207 Kitten Heel or 106 Gaze. For a creamy eyeshadow option, try Ombre Hypnôse Stylo Eyeshadow Sticks which easily glide onto the skin to avoid tugging and provide crease-proof longwear.

Eyeshadow colors that look flattering on everyone are typically neutral colors, like brown, beige, and nudes. Neutrals tend to look great on all skin tones and can easily create an everyday makeup look, a special occasion look, or even a soft glam look. For example, you can use Hypnôse 5-Color Eyeshadow Palette in the color family “French Nude” to create a classic and elegant brown smokey eye look that looks great on everyone.

Makeup artists use eyeshadow and makeup palettes that are highly pigmented, are long-lasting, and can travel well. They also prefer eye shadows that are easy to blend and apply. The most popular eyeshadow textures used are powder, cream, and liquid. Powder eyeshadows are the most commonly used and typically provide sheer to medium color intensity. Cream eyeshadows can provide a more intense color payoff and can also be used to create a base for powder eyeshadows. Liquid eyeshadows are typically multi-use for eye and face and provide more coverage, allowing for bold and creative makeup looks.

To enhance the natural beauty of your eyes, consider your eye color when choosing eye shadow shades and makeup eyeshadow palettes. For example, Hypnôse 5-Color Eyeshadow Palette in “Taupe Craze” brings out the vibrancy in brown eyes, Ombre Hypnôse Stylo Eyeshadow Stick in “Brun Captivant” makes green eyes pop, and Color Design Eyeshadow in “Kitten Heel” intensifies blue eyes – just to name a few.

Our eye shadows are ophthalmologist tested to ensure they meet the highest safety standards and come in a variety of textures, shades, and finishes – from matte to shimmery – so you can find the perfect eyeshadows to easily create looks that complement your skin tone and eye color.
