The Necessary Eyeshadow Palette

ILIA The Necessary Eyeshadow Palette holds six talc-free shadows in a slim compact — matte, satin and metallic finishes in one place. The shades are neutral, but not the flat beige-and-brown kind: there's enough range here to take a look from daytime to evening.

What it actually does

• Six shades, three finishes. Matte, satin and metallic together, so you can build a full eye without reaching for a second palette.
• Buttery and long-wearing. ILIA describes the shadows as velvety and blendable, with pigment that holds and doesn't fall out onto the cheeks.
• Jojoba seed oil is in the formula to nurture and gently moisturise skin.
• Vitamin E acts as a natural antioxidant and helps limit free-radical damage.
• Slim compact — the format is built to travel rather than live on a vanity.
• Talc-free, plus free of sulfates SLS and SLES, parabens, formaldehydes and formaldehyde-releasing agents, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, triclosan and triclocarban, with under one percent synthetic fragrance. Vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, recyclable packaging.

How to use

1. Matte and satin shades go on with whichever eyeshadow brush you prefer.
2. Metallics need more pressure. Use a densely packed brush or your ring finger to get the full payoff.
3. For longer wear and stronger pigment, lay down ILIA's Brightening Eye Primer first, sold separately.

Questions

Cool Nude or Warm Nude — which one?

Cool Nude runs through slate brown, grey lavender, dark violet and deep burgundy with a taupe bronze. Warm Nude runs terracotta, warm nude, soft gold pearl, brick red, warm brown and copper pearl. Match it to the tones you already reach for in blush and lipstick.

Will the shadows fall out onto my cheeks?

ILIA formulates these to deliver colour without fallout. For metallics, pressing with a dense brush or your finger rather than sweeping keeps the most pigment on the lid.

Do I need an eye primer?

Not required. ILIA recommends its Brightening Eye Primer if you want to extend wear time and push pigment intensity further — it's sold separately.
