Rust Eyeshadow Palette

Melt Cosmetics Rust Eyeshadow Palette is ten heavily pigmented pans in warm neutrals and metallic foils. The structure is deliberate: soft rich hues to blend and transition with, burnt browns for definition, and earthy foiled shades to add dimension on the lid. It is a palette built around warmth — terracotta, mahogany, copper and gold rather than cool taupes.

Pans	10 shades
Finishes	7 mattes · 3 metallic foils
Colour family	Warm neutrals — peach, vanilla, apricot, mustard, terracotta, mahogany, chocolate, bronze, copper, gold
Brand callouts	Vegan · cruelty-free · gluten-free · paraben-free

What it actually does

• Covers the full warm range in one tray. Light vanilla through to dark chocolate means highlight, transition, lid, crease and lash line all come from the same ten pans.
• Separates the jobs clearly. Melt built the soft hues for blending, the burnt browns for definition and the foils for shine — you are not guessing which shade goes where.
• Delivers foiled metallics, not light shimmer. Three shades — a deep bronze, a burnt copper and a vintage warm gold — are designed to go on with a fingertip or damp brush for a wet, reflective finish.
• Includes unusual mattes. A Dijon mustard and an intense apricot give you warm colour that is not simply brown, and the brand notes the peach matte doubles as a matte cheek blush.
• Deepened the signature brown. Melt describes Rott² as a richer, deeper reworking of its original Rott shade — a dark chocolate for heavy smoke or a defined lash line.
• Vegan formula, per the brand. Melt Cosmetics lists it as vegan and gluten-free, free of parabens, and never tested on animals.

The ten shades

Classic	Soft vanilla ultra-matte — brow bone, lid or inner corner highlight
Antique	Peach ultra-matte transition; also wearable as a matte blush
Erode	Apricot matte — a vivid transition, or packed on the lid
Rubbish	Dijon mustard ultra-matte, easy to blend
Rust	Terracotta matte with a red undertone — wash, crease or blender
Mar	Mahogany matte for the outer crease
Rott²	Dark chocolate matte — all over the lid or along the lash line
Ravage	Deep bronze foil — fingertip or damp for an oil-slicked effect
Redox	Burnt copper foil
Tarnish	Vintage warm gold metallic — finger for chrome, fluffy brush for a subtle gild

How to use

1. Start with a transition. Sweep Antique or Erode through the crease with a fluffy brush to establish warmth before any colour goes on the lid.
2. Build depth outward. Mar belongs in the outer crease; Rott² on the lid or packed into the lash line when you want heavy definition.
3. Add the foils last. Use a fingertip or a damp brush for Ravage, Redox and Tarnish — dry brushes waste the reflectivity. A dry fluffy brush over Tarnish gives a lighter gilded veil instead.
4. Lift with Classic. Under the brow, on the inner corner, or over the centre of the lid to open the eye.
5. Borrow Antique for cheeks. Melt notes this peach matte works brushed onto the cheeks as a blush.

Questions

What makes the metallics different from the mattes?

The three metallics are foiled shades — Melt recommends applying them with a fingertip or a damp brush so they go on wet-looking and reflective. The seven mattes are flat and designed for blending and shaping, and should stay dry.

Which shade is the all-rounder?

Rust, the terracotta matte. Melt positions it as the staple of the palette: it works as a single wash of colour, as a smoky crease shade, or as the blender that softens the darker browns.

Can I use any of it on my face, not just my eyes?

Melt suggests Antique, the peach ultra-matte, as a cheek colour — brushed on it gives a lively matte blush. The rest are intended for the eyes.

Is it vegan?

Yes — Melt Cosmetics lists this palette as vegan and gluten-free, never tested on animals, with no parabens in the formula.
