Brunet Eyeshadow Palette

Melt Cosmetics Brunet Eyeshadow Palette is eight pans of warm brown done properly — soft neutrals moving through spiced oak into deep cinnamon. Melt describes the shade range as deliberately ambiguous: mattes and metallics that can read delicate or powerful depending on how heavily you pack them on. It is the kind of palette you reach for when you want a brown eye that still looks considered.

Pans	8 shades, 16.47 g (0.58 oz) total
Finishes	Mattes and metallics
Colour family	Vanilla · peach · sand · champagne · cinnamon · maple · rustic oak
Brand callouts	Gluten-free · cruelty-free

What it actually does

• Gives you a complete warm-brown gradient. Eight shades run from a vanilla matte at the light end to a dark rustic oak at the deep end, so highlight, transition, crease and liner all come from one tray.
• Lets you dial the intensity. Melt built the range so it can sit delicate or sit strong — the same shades carry a soft daytime wash or a full bronzed smoky eye.
• Mixes in two metallics for shine. A full-bodied maple metallic and a brassy brunet tone add reflectivity without you needing a separate shimmer palette.
• Handles warm and peachy undertones. Several shades are built on peach and gold notes — the vanilla matte, the nudey peach and the warm champagne all lean warm rather than ashy.
• Includes a true transition shade. The golden sandy matte is the one that does the blending work between lid and brow bone, which is usually the pan a brown palette gets wrong.

The eight shades

Suede	Velvety vanilla matte with a peachy cast — inner corner
Buff	Nude peach that sits between soft and strong
Cork	Sandy golden matte — the transition shade
Musk	Warm champagne with peach and gold underneath
Tan	Cinnamon matte, defined but still delicate
Bourbon	Maple metallic, full-bodied
Stout	Brassy brunet tone
Brunet	Dark rustic oak — the deepest pan

How to use

1. Brighten the inner corner. Place Suede there first to lift the whole eye.
2. Lay down Buff, then blend. It is the easy mid-tone base that everything else sits over.
3. Drop Cork into the crease. This is what turns separate shades into a seamless gradient.
4. Add Musk with a finger or a brush. Either works — Melt notes it goes on with no effort.
5. Deepen the outer corner with Tan. Keeps the shape tight before you add shine.
6. Press Bourbon over the centre of the lid. Melt suggests using your finger here for a smouldering metallic centre.
7. For a bronzed smoky eye: wash Stout across the whole lid, then blend Brunet through the crease.
8. For a smoky cat eye: smudge Brunet into the lash line and concentrate it at the outer corner.

Questions

Is this warm-toned or cool-toned?

Warm throughout. The story runs on peach, gold, cinnamon and maple notes, with a rustic oak as the deepest shade. If you look for ashy or grey-leaning browns, this is not that palette.

Which shade should I use as my transition?

Cork. Melt singles it out as the shade that bridges the gap — pop it in the crease and the lighter and deeper tones blend into each other without a visible edge.

Can I apply these with my fingers?

For the metallics, yes — Melt specifically suggests a finger for Musk and Bourbon, which gives a denser, more reflective result. The mattes are easier to control with a brush.

Is it cruelty-free?

Melt Cosmetics lists the palette as cruelty-free and gluten-free.
