Ethereal Eyes™ Eyeshadow Palette: Moonlight

MAKEUP BY MARIO Ethereal Eyes™ Eyeshadow Palette in Moonlight is a twelve-pan neutral palette with four different finishes sharing one lid. The theme is moonlight — cool creams, greys, mauves and gunmetals — and the finishes are what let the same twelve shades read daytime-soft or night-time-reflective.

What it actually does

• Covers a full look in one palette. Twelve neutral shades across four finishes means base, crease, lid and liner can all come from the same pan set.
• Gives you a wet-looking lid. Mario's glossy shimmer is a pearl-infused formula the brand calls a first of its kind, made to leave a reflective, almost liquid shine on the eyelid.
• Softens things down with sueded satin. This finish has a suede-like feel and a quiet half-sheen for luminosity that stops short of glitter.
• Grips colour in the sueded mattes. MAKEUP BY MARIO built extra grip into these so the pigment sits richly instead of sheering away.
• Pushes shine further with natural metallic. Micronised pigments in this finish turn the reflectivity up.
• Builds and blends. The shades are described as buildable and blendable, and the brand says the looks are made to last.

The twelve shades

1 satin cream · 2 shimmering opal · 3 matte mauve brown · 4 metallic slate · 5 matte grey beige · 6 shimmering bronzy gold · 7 shimmering taupe · 8 satin cool grey · 9 matte warm brown · 10 shimmering golden gunmetal · 11 matte midnight blue · 12 matte black

How to use

1. Choose any combination — the palette is designed so the twelve work together rather than in fixed trios.
2. Wear a shade on its own for something quiet, or stack finishes for maximum payoff.
3. Tap the glossy shimmers on with your fingertip. Mario's own tip — a fingertip presses that pearl finish onto the lid better than a brush does. The EF1 brush is the alternative (sold separately).
4. Use a MAKEUP BY MARIO eyeshadow brush for the rest if you want the application the brand designed around (sold separately).
5. Day or night. The same palette is intended for both — mattes and satins by day, metallics and glossy shimmer after dark.

Questions

How much product is in each pan?

Each of the twelve eyeshadows is 1 g (0.04 oz), for 12 g of product in the palette.

What is different about the glossy shimmer shades?

They are pearl-infused and built to leave a reflective, wet-looking shine — a finish MAKEUP BY MARIO describes as the first of its kind. Mario recommends pressing them on with a fingertip, or using the EF1 brush, which is sold separately.

Are brushes included?

No. Every brush mentioned in the brand's directions, including the EF1, is a separate purchase.

Is it safe for sensitive eyes?

The palette is ophthalmologist tested and approved according to the brand. That is not a guarantee for every individual, so if you are reactive or wear contact lenses, start with one shade and see how you get on.
