I've always liked cool tones, but the recent boom in the cool tone trend has definitely made me lust after all the cool tone palettes! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Thank you for a fun video, and for mentioning also the discontinued palettes! You are one of very few youtubers who do that, and after all, many of us still treasure our Zoevas and the Catrice 5 in a box palettes…. I love to see the good old stuff mentioned 🙂. Also, good timing for me, as I just yesterday came across my old BH Cosmetics Venom palette and decided to make it part of a cool toned “shop my stash”❄
Exactly! I love how everyone is always saying we should use the stuff we have, but then nobody actually shows that. To me that is so silly! I love the palettes I have whether they are still for sale or not.
You have such a lovely collection I f cool toned pallets. Those have always been my favorites. You have inspired me to go through my collection and pick out my cool toned pallets so so can make more use of them.
I enjoyed seeing your selection, and you know a good cool toned palette! I have to say I do not really like Gloss Gods, I have the Gal on Jupiter but I just do not use it, I am going to have to use it again. I did not enjoy the Lisa Eldredge Socerey eyeshadow palette, and it faded badly on my eyelids, and I have the Victoria Beckham palette and it a has a delightful formula. I regret not buying the Dior eyeshadow palette, and it is so beautiful. My favorite cool toned palettes are ER Cold Moon Glamlite Ghostface Cheeryup Fleeting Life ND Glam
You must be up early because it’s 11:50 pm in New York right now. 😀 thank you cool tones are my favorite but I find I can get away with warmer tones this time of year. I take full advantage. Question for the ages why do luxury brands put the sponge applicators in all their palettes when everyone the world over tells them to stop.
Hi Maaike it’s interesting how the difference between your “cool to neutral” undertone and my truly cool undertone affect the way palettes perform on us. The Viseart cool neutrals is for those who have a truly cool undertone and on me look the way it does in the palette with each shade being really distinct and true to the pan - I use mine a lot. The Xenon palette has a load of lighter mattes in different shades that all work in my crease as I am so pale and all the undertones show up on me distinctly there too. I just find some of the shades very glittery unfortunately. Brown is not a neutral on my skintone as it’s usually warmer toned, whereas most taupes look like a true neutral on me and aren’t cool toned. Peach never pulls pink, but many pinks pull peach (aka pastel orange) on me and mostly look warm toned unfortunately. Truly cool toned palettes are incredibly difficult to find that aren’t all grey - I really enjoy grey, but want some variation without it being really colourful. The Dior silver palette is one of my absolute favourites and never looks warm toned (I also really enjoy the thin formula on my older eyelids). I still like the Zoeva en taupe and the too faced white chocolate (mine were bought just as they were being discontinued so they’re still very usable). Some thoughts on some of the others shown: Naked two was much warmer on me than advertised Colorpop taupe same deal and very similar to the naked 2 Huda rose quartz is really colourful on me and not neutral hardly at all Fenty cool neutrals is really warm toned on me I still like the Catrice diamond lavender but I also like the Dior better Best wishes x
Haha, put the Ninetease on this morning. Could have gone for your No. 1 as well. This was a huge job ranking all of these palettes. You know I'm a warm toned gal right? Well, I seem to own quite a few cool(er) toned palettes as well.
I live in Berlin and there are still some Catrice 5 in a box available at DM. Last December I got the Diamond Lavender, and it is quite good for 4€, but I also tend to reach for other palettes instead
Yes there are still a few but my favorites are no longer around sadly. I still have all of them though as I can't part ways with that little mini collection.
It is a stunning palette for sure! But if I compare the price to the quality and the ease of use than I would not rank it super high. Doesn't mean it isn't a good one.
I’m a light warm and I have to be careful how I wear cool neutrals because it can turn dirty on my eyes. I’ll usually put a grey on my lid and the transition leaning warmer to avoid muddy shades.
HI Maaike, thank you for the great video! Did you try the Byredo Mineralscapes palette? It seems the perfect palette for cool tone lovers 🧊 I was able to buy it during the last restock on Niche Beauty but I'm still waiting for it.
Thank you for pointing out the monstrosity of mixing warm colors into so called cool palettes! What is this obsession with "warming up" a cool colour story? Those of us who favour cool tones can't use warm colours because they look like dirt on us. Also, I've seen plenty of straight up warm palettes with no cool colors added. What's the deal?
Hi Maaike, do you maybe know whether Makeup By Lisa (the one with the Raven’s Castle palette) still exists? I'm googling but I'm unable to find it (it might that that website is restricted in my country, so I'm not sure). All I can find is Lisa Eldrige's makeup.
