The Duo Eyeshadow ($34.00) in Fashion Rebel makes me think of Ziggy Stardust — the colors are so richly pigmented they can be used alone or blended together. The look is up to you! The Single Eyeshadow ($24.00) in Euphrate is a frosted mint-steel that is like no other mint I have seen: it’s subdued yet has a lot of pigment.

I have been seeing mint hues in so many palettes, yet this one is more user-friendly. Meaning it makes your eyes pop, but does not make it such a focal point that you are stuck on the color itself.
