Magnetic eyeshadow palettes and shade choicesA magnetic eyeshadow palette lets you choose the colours you reach for most often and arrange them in one place. Mineralissima offers a range of eyeshadow shades and palette options, so you can put together a compact everyday selection or a more colourful combination.How does a magnetic palette work?Choose compatible individual eyeshadow pans and place them in the magnetic palette. Check the pan size and palette capacity on the product pages before ordering; loose eyeshadow jars and other formats are not interchangeable with pans.Pick shades you will useFor an easy everyday palette, combine a light base shade, a medium transition shade and a deeper colour for definition. Add shimmer or a brighter shade if you like an evening look. Undertone guides are useful starting points, but personal preference matters most.Explore the eyeshadow range and compare the finish and format of each shade. A compact palette makes it easier to see your choices together and take them with you.Apply and blendStart with a small amount of colour. Build in thin layers and use a clean blending brush to soften the edges. If you have sensitive eyes, avoid getting powder into the eye and check the ingredients of each shade before use.Want to try something different? Combine a matte shade with a shimmer, or use a deeper colour close to the lash line for soft definition. The best palette is the one that fits how you actually do your makeup.
