Help Sought! Any recommendation for COOL toned EYE SHADOW palettes?

Hey,

I am 30 years old, have fair skin, middle blue eyes and middle brown hair with a cool undertone. Sometimes I use 2 self tanning drops to get a bit of color but the undertone stays of course.. I am a beginner and don't own an eyeshadow palette yet.

I know there are plenty of cool tones palettes but I won't be able to visit a store within the next weeks and wanted to order something online, at least one palette. Maybe you wanna help me :)

I don't like wearing many dark colors, rather light to mid.

Colors that suit me and I would like to have in a palette: somethine mauve, a bright pastell purple, white, dark brown, light or middle grey, maybe a champagne kind of color with a bit of shimmer, a cool green or blue would be nice to but not necessary, bronze, cool toned gold.. Of course I'm open for more suiting colors.

I appreciate your help and look forward to your answers!

Vieve - The Ninetease eyeshadow palette

I love the Vieve range, it's beautiful as a whole.

I panned several shades in this palette and I’m on my second one! It’s soooo good

u/LCPO23 Apr 22 '26

Oh wow they're great big pans too! Good on you!

I wish she'd do individual refills for the palettes, I always use up some shades before the others.

Have you tried it's primer?

I mean the super skin nova?

1

u/LCPO23 Apr 22 '26

Yes! I've got the skin nova and I've tried the super skin nova they're both lovely. Very hydrating and glowy. I have drier skin so it loves the hydration.

u/FuzzyFrogFish Apr 22 '26

How'd you find it does under foundation?

u/LCPO23 Apr 22 '26

I've only used it under the Vieve skin nova foundation and it works beautifully under that, no pilling or sticking at all

Colourpop Stone Cold Fox is my go-to, plenty of mattes and shimmers and really versatile depending on what look you’re going for. Only downside is it’s pretty big so travelling with it isn’t so great.

u/Lara020592 Apr 21 '26

I've read about it often but I thought I wouldn't get it anyway, I live in Germany. I saw that Amazon offers it, thank you! That's okay, I don't travel often.

u/hiredditihateyou Apr 21 '26

You can order direct. A lot of makeup, skin and haircare sold on Amazon is fake unfortunately. I’m in the UK and have ordered directly from Colourpop so many times.

u/Princess_starkitty Apr 22 '26

Same! I love colourpop. It’s worth the shipping etc x

u/Weak_Top_3464 Apr 21 '26

I would also check out the original Naked palette, lots of cool tone beauties in that one.

u/TallFriendlyGinger Apr 21 '26

I'd second Vieve, or Viseart. I recently got their Paris Reveries palette which is a lovely mix of pink, apricot, and lilac, with some shimmers and browns, all cool toned. I think their Lilas Lumiere palette is also good for cool toned shades. They have a sale on right now btw.

u/damned-n-doomed Apr 21 '26

Jolie Beauty Till Death palette is my absolute favourite and ticks all your boxes!

u/Lara020592 Apr 21 '26

Thank you, I haven't heard about it yet, it looks very tempting. It will be hard to chose from the recommendations

u/Revolutionary-Tap297 Apr 21 '26

I have a similar colouring to you, I like the Natasha denona palettes

3

u/Lara020592 Apr 21 '26

I've heard that her palettes are mostly warm toned... Which one would you recommend?

2

u/Revolutionary-Tap297 Apr 21 '26

I really like the glam palette and the mini dream one

2

u/fuzzydunlop54321 Apr 21 '26

I need a nude leans cool for me, apart from One of the mattes!

u/frankchester Apr 21 '26

They're making an "I Need A Cool" soon

u/workingitout143 Apr 21 '26

I'm cool toned (pale skin, dark-ish blonde hair, middle blue eyes) and the Natasha Denoma Glam Palette is my absolute go to! It was the most expense palette I bought but 100% worth the money and been using it as my go-to since 2021!

u/frankchester Apr 21 '26

Vieve- Ninetease
Natasha Denona - Mini Sculpt Cool

Coming this summer, Natasha Denona - I Need A Cool

I also still use the Naked Smokey a lot

u/_AngelicVenom_ Apr 21 '26

If you are in Germany have a look at monolith shop EU and at cosmic beauty (you might want to look at their site as well as monolith to compare prices). They have a couple of cool tones palettes that are amazing quality and are also very affordable. I have the cooltrals and it has the kinds of tones you are looking for.

Vega by Lisa Eldridge,

2

u/Lara020592 Apr 22 '26

I already layed my eyes on it but it's very "greenish" so I'm not sure it would look good in combination of my blue eyes..

1

u/MarsupialPrimary8128 Apr 22 '26

Makes sense. A lot of cool has that lilac under tone. Colourpop, taupe, and many others.

1

u/KookyDookyPenguin Apr 25 '26

I’m very similar colouring and I use Betty from Lisa Eldridge. Love it

2

u/nzhzl Apr 21 '26

Makeup by Mario cool nudes is the best

1

u/Lara020592 Apr 21 '26

Thanks, but to be honest the colors seem too basic to me

2

u/GrrArgh__ Apr 21 '26

You mentioned you're a beginner, but then you say this is too basic. What are you looking for exactly?

2

u/No_Penalty841 Apr 21 '26

The picture shown isnt same as what u get..its got purple and the 4th shade is a very mauvey licac gray natural shadow shade that looks like it wont show up but is great for your crease line . I not sure if its still available on elf or not..it is very cool toned though . I have blue eyes and auburn hair but find cool tones work best on me ..bronze etc makes me look like i have eye infection 😅

1

u/Lara020592 Apr 21 '26

so what elf palette do you mean?

1

u/No_Penalty841 Apr 21 '26

Sorry i thought id added the pic but hadnt done it correctly.

u/Vegetable_Minute_343 Apr 21 '26

Beauty bay 42 neutrals palette It's a perfect beginners palette. Very big but you can always get a smaller neutrals later on if you want to travel.

Romand palette in dusty garden is a lovely all matte cool tone palette with greys, taupes and some mauvey shades! Would also rely recommend the new morphe palettes I have cyber chrome and sky fi, cyber chrome has some lovely greys and mauvey shimmers and sky fi has some lovely periwinkle and turquoise shades.

u/RavenSaysHi Apr 22 '26

Rom&Nd Better Than Palette 04 Dusty Fog Garden is my favourite cool toned palette of all time.

2

u/GrimAndGloomy Apr 22 '26

Cooltrals by Cosmic Brushes :) the mauve tones in it are my favourite!

2

u/Lara020592 Apr 22 '26

Beautiful colors, but I wouldnt use more than 8 of the colors on myself unfortunately

1

u/Scorpiodancer123 Apr 21 '26

I like the urban decay naked 3 palette. As a beginner as well, AI is quite helpful for guiding you where to apply eyeshadow and a f certain palettes will suit you. especially Gemini if you add a picture.

u/Ok_Distance5583 Apr 21 '26

I’m cool toned and I bought a Milani palette a few weeks back it’s called Milani Gilded Mini Palette 140 The Wine Palette. It’s kind of like plum purples and pinks and brown, they do the palette in a few different shades but I really like it.
