Hey guys! Today I am sharing with you some tips on how to find the perfect neutral eyeshadow palette. Picking out the right neutral tones can be tricky- some shades are gray and dull, others can pull too warm and orange. But I am going to show you some of my favorite neutral palettes and share with you where they fall on my self-created neutral scale, along with swatches and tips! I hope you find it helpful! Thanks so much for watching!

I wish every creator did this! I’m a cool tuned girl. When reviewing them , maybe stating it’s a warm or cool tones would be a big help to us viewers. Or maybe help us understand how to see cool or warm tones in a palette. I always have this issue. Now it’s makeup and if u wanna have fun, totally have fun, but when ur trying to make something stand out understanding the tones to me anyways is so much easier.

@girlwhomustnotbenamed4139 Жыл бұрын

@@annadominguez9897Yess! And that's ALL of them. There are literally no light neutral shimmers that are actually cool-toned anywhere. Same goes for light mattes but you can at least find some mid-toned ones you can apply lightly and it can work. But it's incredibly frustrating to see palettes being called cool-toned and not being able to create one full look with them that is actually that. Cool undertones in neutrals are not a fad, we need them specifically for them to look "neutral" on us. If it shows up yellow on me, then it's not a cool-toned neutral.

OMG - thank you so much for talking about the elephant in the room! I have a slightly cool undertone and consistently when someone says a palette is cool-toned, I get it and it’s too warm for me. Going Coconuts is one where influencers said “it’s cool-toned neutral,” but on me, it’s just warm. You are spot on about lighting and the reviewer’s undertone, and I would so appreciate if reviewers did a ranking of where on the cool to warm spectrum a palette falls. Soooo helpful! Thank you again for your great content!

Love your videos and using a scale makes my marketing researcher’s heart flutter. Suggestion, if you don’t mind: make your scale a 9 point, so you have a true middle (5). In your notes, put the number before your links so if one listens, they know what those numbers mean, but wouldn’t otherwise; this will allow me to come back and quickly find what I was looking for. And just rate using whole numbers. (I know, I’m guilty of wanting to go in the middle at times too, but it always makes me feel that I haven’t used the right scale.) If you continue with scales, can you also do one for level of shimmer/glitter to matte? This is a critical factor for me in deciding what to purchase (I lean more matte, but do love a good shimmer at times.) Thanks so very much! And I hope you know I was trying to help, not being critical.

Your video is very needed. In my opinion the warm tones are way too predominant everywhere. When I started, I had no idea so my first pallettes were inevitably warm and for me so hard to work with. Then I got mesmerised online by the look of quartz pallet and made a leap of faith. When it arrived, all I thought was ‘’where have you been my hole life?’’. I use it every day with zero effort. I still don’t know why warm tones don’t work on me, I am not that cool, they just make me seem tired and old and sick 😄.

I love this idea! Everyone reviewing neutral palettes needs to refer to your scale! Although as a cool toned gal I think your whole scale leans a bit warm. My favourite neutrals are rare to find - pink toned grays! Grays with zero blue tones in them. ND has too much yellow in her "neutral" eyeshadows for me, even if the shades don't lean warm, the yellow makes them look off if I'm not careful.

Really impressed that you did this for your viewers girl! I have been in the fine arts and painting, portraits, mainly with oils and acrylics, and that is where I learned my makeup from, and went on to do other people’s makeup after learning about sanitation and other things that may not be learnt by an artist. Anyway, I had to learn how to paint a 3-D canvas that is skin not canvas material, but color theory never changes. I think some of us who know it inside out forget some people may need a refresher or a mini tutorial on the science of color. Good job for recognizing this and trying to help your viewers out!😊

This is fun! On my skin tone, the ND glam pulls so cool. I can get a neutral look that I like, but most shades look so grey and dull on my skin tone. The ND bronze and the ND zendo I love in the summer. They are both so warm. I love them in summer, but in the winter when I’m more fair it’s not as flattering on me. The ND My Dream palette, however, is perfect for me all year! It’s neutral enough for me in the winter, and it can pull warm in the summer. It is the most perfect year round neutral palette that I have. And it’s got a little color. Hands down my most favorite ND palette.

Hey Mandy! This rating scheme is genius! I finally understand why I really don't like several of my eyeshadow palettes; I belong on the cool side of the spectrum, and I'm going to blame store lighting. Fortunately for me the few high-end palettes I have are smaller ones and all cool tones that I always love. All the rest have a few cool tones in them that I might use, and they're all drugstore priced, so no big deal when it comes time to toss kits that are only half used. You really hit it out of the park with this idea! Thank you for giving such good examples - you're a teacher at heart!

I have the Alter Ego Shadow Kiss palette which is the alternative palette to the Natasha Denona glam palette. I love it and use it quite often! I definitely lean more neutral-cool in my preferences. I don't mind the occasional warmer look and I have been known to mix cool and warm tones together as well (I know what a total faux pas!). I also have the Alter Ego Harmony palette which is the alternative to the Natasha Denona Retro Palette. Alter Ego isn't quite as pigmented as the ND shadows, but for the amount of money I'm saving ($17 vs $69), I'm not going to complain about having to blend in an extra layer of shadow!

I definitely prefer eyeshadows in the 5-7 range. I’ve made SO many mistakes purchasing palettes that are too too warm or too cool. It’s just amazing how a neutral shadow can bring liveliness to your skin or deadness. The super warm, orange or yellow shades just look tragic on me like the ones with too much gray.
