It's the same old story: Hadn't planned on getting this palette, didn't need another set of neutral shadows, it wasn't even in stock half the time, et cetera. So what if I put a harmless little e-mail alert on the off-chance that it was restocked in the next few months?
So pretty...
I swear, not even two weeks later, I got an e-mail from Sigma that, lo and behold, the Warm Neutrals Palette was back in stock and ripe for the purchasing. That, coupled with the 10% off codes you can find on pretty much any YouTubers' channel, along with the terrible influence of my coworker (hereafter referred to as The Enabler), and I was powerless to resist.
These shades are absolutely right up my alley. I really shy away from bright colors, but I will forever fall in love with a good neutral palette. These swatch beautifully, and while a few of the matte shades seemed a touch powdery upon first glance, I think they're certainly workable.
L-R: Oyster Sand, Sugar Milk, Mild Mannered, Dove
L-R: Fawn, Cinnamon, Russet, Balanced
L-R: Cozy, Innocent, Optimistic, Warm Stone
Purely based on swatches alone, I'm loving Mild Mannered, Dove, Russet, Balanced, Cozy and Innocent. Here's a quick Sunday morning look I came up with:
A a base I used the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink. I swept Balanced all over the lid, and patted some Dove on the outer third and up into the crease. I blended out the edges with Cinnamon, and put just a touch of Sugar Milk on my brow bone. I smudged a little bit of Dove under the outer half of my lash line, and Balanced is under the inner half of my lash line.
So far, I'm pleased with this palette and I think it will be perfect for everyday looks, as well as for some more intense, smokier looks every now and then.
