Ethereal Eyes™ Eyeshadow Palette: The Original

Ethereal Eyes™ Eyeshadow Palette: The Original is Makeup By Mario's twelve-shade neutral palette, built around three different finishes rather than twelve variations on the same one. The range runs from creamy beige through peach, mauve, rose, taupe and deep brown — a full eye look, start to finish, out of one pressed-powder palette.

What it actually does

• Three finishes that behave differently. Makeup By Mario describes the Glossy Shimmers as a first-of-their-kind formula with pearls for a wet-looking, reflective shine on the lid.
• Mattes made to grip. The brand says the Sueded Mattes have improved grip and deliver rich colour.
• Metallics kept soft, not sharp. Micronised pigments give the Natural Metallics a gentle metallic sheen rather than a hard glitter effect.
• Sheer or strong, your call. Each shadow lays down sheer and builds, so the same twelve pans cover a quiet daytime eye and a heavier evening one.
• The twelve shades are designed as a set. Mario's stated intent was for the shades and finishes to work together, so pairings inside the palette are already resolved for you.

How to use

1. Pick any combination. There's no fixed route through the palette — the shades are meant to be mixed freely for day or night.
2. Build gradually. Start sheer and add layers until the intensity is where you want it.
3. Use fingers for the Glossy Shimmers. Makeup By Mario's own tip: tap the wet-to-powder shimmer onto the lid with a fingertip rather than a brush.
4. Brushes for the rest. An eyeshadow brush works best for the mattes and metallics. Brushes aren't included in the palette.

Questions

How many shades, and how much product?

Twelve pans, each 1 g (0.04 oz), across three finishes: glossy shimmer, sueded matte and natural metallic.

What makes the Glossy Shimmers different from a normal shimmer?

They're pearl-infused and behave as a wet-to-powder shadow, which is why the brand recommends pressing them on with your finger. The result reads as reflective, almost wet shine on the lid rather than dry sparkle.

Are brushes included?

No. Makeup By Mario's eyeshadow brushes are sold separately. The glossy shimmer shades don't need one — fingers are the brand's preferred tool there.

What's left out of the formula?

The palette is formulated without parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, SLS and SLES sulfates, oxybenzone, hydroquinone, coal tar, retinyl palmitate, triclosan, triclocarban, and formaldehydes or agents that release them. It is also cruelty-free.
