    New pallette

    The colors have changed completely. It’s not the same as before. The very lightest color is too dark now. And the darkest color has a weird texture the color is too orangey.

    I’m very disappointed I wanted something to put on my eyelid and it used to be the perfect shade and now it’s too dark. And the texture is kind of strange as well.

    Gorgeous colours

    I always thought that because I have a warm complexion, warm makeup would automatically suit me best. After trying the warm palette several times, I realised I just wasn’t excited by the results.

    So I started looking into which colours naturally brighten my complexion, and I learned something really interesting: having a warm skin tone doesn’t always mean warm makeup is the most flattering. Finding the cooler shades was a complete game changer—they made my features pop in a way I wasn’t expecting. ✨

    One thing I love about ILIA is that there are so many beautiful shades to explore. Not every colour will suit everyone, and that’s completely okay. Sometimes it takes a little experimenting to discover what truly works for you. ILIA has become the mainstay of my makeup collection, and learning what complements my own complexion has made such a difference. ❤️
