Product details

Three Better Than Palettes in 02 Mahogany Garden, 03 Rosebud Garden and 04 Dusty Fog Garden on greige-rose paper, between crumbled shadow, gold glitter and a glass cube

Ten-shade eye palette

A ten-shade palette built on a step-by-step brightness scale, so the mattes layer cleanly into deeper shading.

rom&nd’s Better Than Palette arranges each colour family in graded steps from light to deep, so you can build soft shading one layer at a time without the colours turning muddy. Alongside the mattes, each palette has its own mix of glitters and shimmers for a point on the lid. Fine, silky powders give even colour payoff and hide fine lines without caking, and oil-blotting powders help the look stay neat all day.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Talc and mica

    The two powders at the top of the list give the silky slip and the base for the colour.

    No. 1, 2 of 28 on the list

  • Soft-focus powders

    Smooth, slippy powders that help the shadow glide on evenly and blur fine lines.

    No. 3, 4 of 28 on the list

  • Binding emollients

    They hold the pressed powder together, so it picks up evenly without crumbling or caking.

    No. 5, 6, 11 of 28 on the list

  • Skin-adhering coatings

    Coatings that help the pigments cling to the lid for neat, long-lasting colour.

    No. 21, 22, 23 of 28 on the list
