How to use Makeup Palette?

Lightweight Makeup Palettes are a great way to try a lot of shades in one compact package, but we often end up using one color and neglecting the rest. When you know how to use a face palette properly, you can get the most out of them. Remember that with, as with all types of makeup, your skincare comes first—moisturize your face well before applying any makeup.

The Lightweight Makeup Palettes(the ones that contain eyeshadow, blush, etc) are a way to give one a lot of color options in one place, as opposed to a lot of individual little compacts each holding one or two pans of color. That’s a huge benefit with eyeshadows especially. They ordinarily would come in packages with one, two or four colors all coordinated. These let you make your own color combinations without having to dig into a lot of littler containers. Blushes can also take up a lot of room so it’s nice to have a lot of them in one flat package. The blush-only pallet is also refillable so one can order just the pan that they’ve used-up.
The magnetic palette- as I said before holds the little metallic pans. A lot of makeup artists and hard-core enthusiasts like to take the pans out of their individual compacts and put them into these magnetic palettes. The purpose is the same- they save time and space with the added benefit of letting one customize the contents.

How to Use an Eyeshadow Cosmetic Makeup Palette
An eyeshadow Cosmetic Makeup Palette is ideal for layering multiple complementary shades. Makeup artist Bobbi Brown’s basic eye look involves three shadows: light, medium, and dark neutral shades (in a matte or flat finish), all of which are geared toward your skin tone. When shopping for an eye Cosmetic Makeup Palette, look for shades that complement your skin and remember that you should only use black mascara.
Light: a pale bone or ivory-colored shadow, taupe, and a chestnut brown
Medium-to-tan: a taupe, chestnut brown, and an espresso brown
Dark/Deep: medium brown, dark brown, and a deep brown/black shadow
When applying your eyeshadows, use the below as a general guideline:
Lightest shadow: used all over the lid as a base to nix excess oil and even out the tone of your eyelid
Mid-tone shadow: used on the visible lid below the crease for depth
Darkest shadow: used for extra definition along the lash line or when you’re creating a smoky eye
A fourth dark shade can be added for a smoky eye, and you can play around with texture since eyeshadows come in matte, or flat, and shimmer finishes. If you want your eyeshadow to complement your eye color, you can refer to the rule of contrast—cool colors contrast with warm, which is why a blue eyeshadow or navy eyeliner looks so striking on brown eyes.

Blue eyes: Most dark colors will bring attention to blue eyes. Bobbi likes the look of a black, smudgy liner against blue eyes. If you want a more glam look, a gold shimmer works well, too.
Green eyes: Bronze, copper, and gold or rose gold tones really play up green eyes. Gunmetal gray and silver are also attention-grabbing.
Brown and hazel eyes: Blue, violet, emerald—any vibrant jewel-toned color—looks great against brown eyes since brown is a neutral color. Adding color contrasts against brown eyes makes them appear brighter. Rose gold and copper tones also brighten up hazel eyes.
How to Use a Color Correcting Palette
Most Versatile Makeup Palettes tend to include similar colors that play well together, but a color correcting palette is a different thing altogether. A good color correcting palette will include completely different shades of concealer designed to neutralize colors on the opposite side of the color wheel. Look for green to neutralize red, peach for dark circles, and yellow for discoloration. Layer your color correcting concealer underneath foundation, so that the bright colors won’t actually be visible once your makeup is on.
How to Use a Lip Versatile Makeup Palette
Lip Versatile Makeup Palettes are especially useful for blending together the perfect lip color: Some days you may want an orangey-red, while others call for a brick red. Lip palettes also allow you to create an ombré lip: Line the outside of your lips with a darker shade, and the center of your lips with a lighter color and then blend the two with a lip brush.
