Here’s a simple, lighter neutral look with the ABH Nouveau Palette that isn’t brown-based. It’s nice to have an option like this that is still “wearable” but isn’t the same old thing.
This was a super quick look to put together. Technically, I used four shades but mainly 3 are what is noticeable. You could skip Muse on the lashline to save some time.
I packed the peachy matte shade all over the lid and blended it through the crease. Then, I layered the shimmery gold over top on the lid. It didn’t adhere super well used this way but patting it on (rather than swiping) helped to get it to show up more. You could also use a sticky base underneath or use a dampened brush. I smudged the deep brown into the lashline from underneath the lashes (so, not used as a traditional eyeliner) to help darken the lashline. Using this shade previously, I had some fallout, but using it this way, there was none. The only fallout I had was from Isle, which only has fine shimmer in it, so it just ended up looking like a highlighter.
