Anastasia Beverly Hills Shadow Couture World Traveller Palette – A Must Have!
An eyeshadow palette fit for a queen! Go from day look to party glam in no time!
Anastasia Beverly Hills, of the makeup world's famous brow revolution, has always made South Asian beauty needs a priority when creating products. In 2014 they teamed up with world renowned make-up artist Tamanna Raoshan — who is half Afghan and half Indian — and created an eyeshadow palette for South Asians called the Tamanna palette.
Anastasia launched their newest eyeshadow palette on July 15th — World Traveller Shadow Couture — and it's their best one yet. It has 12 shadows: the four matte shades are Soft Peach (great as a brow bone highlight or all over lid color), Morocco (nice crease or transition shade), Fudge (good for crease and smoking out the outer V or lower lash line) and Noir (a multi-purpose deep black colour). Pink champagne is a favorite for its sparkle (perfect for the lid or brightening up the inner corner). Spoiled and Heirloom are beautiful and glittery. Metallic is gold shimmer and Chic a silver shimmer. Azure is a flattering blue colour, Intense Gaze a romantic pink and Bellini a gorgeous peachy nude.
The palette comes with a dual ended brush — a flat side for application and a fluffy side for blending. The colours are super pigmented and look great on South Asian skin tone. They transfer onto the skin smoothly and melt into each other when blending. No wonder Kim Kardashian's make-up artist Mario loves using this palette on her.
This is the only palette that will let you create almost any look under the sun. You can create everyday/office looks with its soft peaches and brown tones or create dramatic smoky eye with the black, gold and silver. Use the soft pinks for a romantic look and the purple and blues for a glam party look.
Here's a nude eye on the left and soft date night look on the right. (B: brow bone, C: crease color, V: Outer corner, L: lid, ML: center lid and I: inner corner.)
Just like the name suggests, this palette is perfect for travelling. You can create bold looks perfect to wear at weddings or a night out on the town.
For South Asian skin it's best to apply an eye primer which holds onto your eyeshadow all day/night. Instead of a sweeping motion across your eyes, which will give you a lot of fall out, pat on the eye shadow with a brush and build up color intensity to show up better on pigmented skin tone.
Like all Anastasia Beverly Hills palettes these get sold out fast. So make sure to get your hands on this eyeshadow palette before it's gone.
