Chamomile Eye Palette applied on a models face

eyeshadow for different eye shape: two palettes, endless ease 

Some palettes overwhelm you with twenty shades you'll never touch. Others give you five you'll actually reach for, and somehow that's the one that takes you further. Chamomile Eye Palette - Element Matte and Light Shimmer are exactly that: two curated five-shade edits, designed to adapt to any eye shape and carry you from a Tuesday morning to a Saturday night. Here's exactly how, whatever shape you're working with.
 

what's the best eyeshadow for hooded eyes? 

With hooded eyes, some of the lid colour can disappear when the eyes are open, so placing definition slightly higher can help it stay visible. Rachel's look sweeps Ember just above the natural fold, blending upward toward the brow, then works Lustre into the outer corner with a soft upward flick along the lower lash line. Ray is pressed onto the centre of the lid for an instant pop of light, and a dusting of Twilight along the brow bone and inner corner keeps everything lifted.

Looking straight ahead, use the rounded end to sweep Ember just above your natural fold, blending upward toward the brow.

With the tapered end, blend Lustre into the outer corner and softly flick upward, adding a touch along the lower lash line.

Press Ray onto the centre of the lid with your finger for an instant pop of light.

Using the tapered end or fingertip, dust Twilight onto the brow bone and inner corner to highlight.

what's the best eyeshadow for monolids? 

With monolids, where the crease may be less visible, colour placement can focus more on creating dimension across the lid. Katherine's look sweeps Ochre high across the lid socket, diffusing it softly toward the brow bone to create depth where there naturally isn't any, then blends Sand over the inner lid to brighten and balance. Terra is smoked along the outer lash line and flicked outward, elongating the shape.

Blend Sand over the inner lid to brighten and balance.

With the tapered end, smoke Terra along the outer lash line and flick outward to create an elongated eye shape.

what's the best eyeshadow for round eyes? 

Round eyes have space to play with, and two people can use that space very differently. Lili keeps it soft: Ochre swept into the crease and diffused upward with a slight outward wing, Oak pressed across the lid near the lash line, and a touch of Dusk brightening the inner corner. Nakeeta takes the same shape into evening, sweeping Dusk across the entire lid as a velvety base, then buffing Oak through the outer corner and socket to sculpt and elongate, with Terra pressed along the upper lash line and smudged beneath for a defined, smoky finish. Same shape, two entirely different moods.

With the rounded end, sweep Ochre into the crease and softly diffuse it upward toward the brow bone, winging it slightly outward to sculpt and frame the eye.

Press Oak across the lid close to the lash line, buffing gently to blend seamlessly into the Ochre base.

With the tapered end, run the remaining pigment of Oak softly along the lower outer lash line to ground and complete the smoky look. 
Add a touch of Dusk to the inner corner.

Georgia (round eyes):

With the rounded end, softly wash Moon over the entire lid and diffuse gently into the crease.

With the tapered end, blend Lustre through the outer corner and socket to create soft definition. 
Highlight the inner eye and centre lid with a press of shimmering Twilight.

what's the best eyeshadow for almond eyes? 

Almond eyes naturally suit a wide range of eyeshadow placements, which is exactly what Georgia's look leans into. Moon is washed softly over the entire lid and diffused into the crease, Lustre blends through the outer corner and socket for gentle definition, and a press of shimmering Twilight highlights the inner eye and centre lid. 

Nakeeta (almond eyes): 
classic contour

With the rounded end, sweep Dusk across the entire eyelid, blending softly upward just past the crease into the brow socket for a velvety, neutral base.

Using the rounded end, buff Oak through the outer corner and socket crease, feathering the edges outward to sculpt and elongate the eye.

With the rounded end, press Terra along the upper lash line, then switch to the tapered end to smudge a soft trace along the lower lash line, connecting at the outer corner for a defined, smoky finish.

what's the best eyeshadow for deep-set eyes? 

Deep-set eyes sit further back in the socket, so the goal isn't more definition, it's more light. Sylia's look blends Lustre through the outer corner and socket for soft, grounding depth, diffuses Moon upward into the crease, then presses Moon directly onto the centre of the lid with a damp fingertip for maximum colour payoff and a high-shine finish that brings the eye forward rather than letting it recede.

Press Moon directly onto the centre of the lid with a damp fingertip for maximum colour payoff and high-shine impact.

However your eye shape, the same two palettes are doing the work. Five essential shades each, refillable, built to move between everyday and evening rather than sit in a drawer half used. 

frequently asked questions

How do I know what my eye shape actually is?
Look straight ahead into a mirror with your eyes relaxed. Notice how much of your lid is visible, whether your crease shows when your eyes are open, and the overall shape of the eye. You may also find that your eyes share features of more than one shape, so use these categories as a guide rather than a strict rule. 

Can one palette really work for every eye shape?
Yes, because the shift isn't in the shades, it's in where you place them. The same five colours in Element Matte or Light Shimmer can sit low and soft for a monolid or lifted and defined for a hooded eye, which is the whole idea behind building a smaller, more considered palette in the first place. 

How do I take a daytime look into the evening?
Build on what's already there rather than starting again. Deepen the outer corner with one more pass of your matte shade, and pat a Light Shimmer tone into the centre of the lid to catch the light. Both palettes are designed to layer this way, dry for softness, damp for intensity. 

Is this palette gentle enough for sensitive eyes?
Chamomile Eye Palette is talc-free and formulated with chamomile flower extract, with a soft, finely milled texture designed for the delicate eye area. Individual sensitivities can vary, so discontinue use if irritation occurs. If sensitive eyes are your main concern, our guide to eyeshadow for sensitive eyes goes deeper into what to look for.
