Today's color combinations are inspired by ColourPop's Smoke 'n' Roses mega eyeshadow palette , which felt like a waste of a theme! There was so much that could have been done there. First and foremost, roses come in a variety of shades, undertones, and depth. There are pale and pastel roses that...

December birthstones include tanzanite, turquoise, and zircon -- very much a blue-dominated gem selection! Tanzanite is an interesting gem as it noted for its deep, saturated blue to violet hues, which can come naturally or from heating a gem, and unheated tanzanite stones can run murky green-brown...
November has two birthstones: topaz, which is often found in shades of colorless, light blue, yellow, orange, pink, violet, and brown, but topaz birthstone jewelry is typically sold in shades of blue (which can be heated colorless topaz); and citrine, which is typically light yellow to burnt orange.

Here's another set of summery color combinations featuring Sydney Grace single eyeshadows!
What kind of colors do you reach for most during the summer? I feel like there's a lot of warmer neutrals--bronzy, coppery, and gold--and then on the more intense spectrum, brighter pops of color.
August birthstones include peridot, which is a more yellow-toned based green (ranging from lighter chartreuse to olive green) and spinel, which comes in a greater variety of shades but tends to be more popular in red, pink, purple, and blue, though orange, violet, and bluish-green spinels can be...
Tomorrow, August 1st, Sydney Grace single eyeshadows will be 25% off, so I thought I'd take some time to play with possible custom 9-pan palettes for those who find themselves overwhelmed by the brand's single eyeshadow selection.
Have you made a custom Sydney Grace palette before? What's in yours?
Here are some color combinations worth trying this summer with pops of color and richer finishes from Clionadh and Terra Moons' eyeshadow ranges.
