For a seamless application, we recommend using our Shadow Brush for a precise application and Blending Brush to softly diffuse. 

When without tools, go bare and apply with your finger. The product is velvety soft and intensely pigmented with shades designed to universally work together and flatter all skin tones.

Add a swipe of our Clean Line Liquid Liner or Gel Liner, then a coat or two of our ILIA Mascara to complete your look.

    Stunning shades!

    Love this palette! Been wanting to get it forever, finally did, and not disappointed. The shades are natural enough but also deep enough that you can play around with daytime looks AND evening snatches. Love it!

    Nice colors

    I like the colors but it is a waste when half of them I probably will never use.

    Beautiful color palette!

    Even though I’m a warmer tone I just couldn’t resist buying this cool nude palette. The colors are so beautiful and can easily take you from day to night for any season.

    Long lasting and doesn’t crease! 🙌

    I love this pallet, you can create day looks and Knight looks all in one, and the best thing about it is the color last, and it doesn’t crease on your lids. And it’s clean! Love, love, love this.
