The MAKE UP FOR EVER Star Lit Palette has finally launched and it’s set to seriously up the ante of your eye looks.

So, enough with the teasing… it’s time to reveal the palette in all of its intergalactic glory! The MAKE UP FOR EVER Star Lit Palette is a one-stop-shop for intensely pigmented and buttery soft eyeshadow, with textures inspired by the night sky and beyond. Inside the sturdy case you’ll find luminous mattes, glimmering metals and sparkling chromes in an array of neutral and bold hues that tick every box from low key glam to high octane drama. Let’s see more…

The Concept

There’s a showstopping variety of colour in the 18 shade-strong MAKE UP FOR EVER Star Lit Palette, with inspiration ranging from the pale beauty of the Milky Way to the complete black-out of a total Eclipse. In between you’ll find jewel-like hues including bronze, sapphire and amethyst, and a tempting variety of both cool and warm tones.

Setting aside its sumptuous looks for a second, there’s a cool side note to the Star Lit Palette that sets it apart: it’s on a mission to make pairing different eyeshadow colours and textures together completely foolproof. It does this in a really simple and really clever way; by creating mini harmony ‘triangles’ comprised of one matte, one metallic and one chrome shade, you can group complementary shades at a glance. Included with the Star Lit Palette are some handy overlays that you place on top of the colours, with cutouts that reveal the shades that you need to create each specific look. Genius!
