Mix-and-Match Eyeshadow Palettes

Like an Artist's Palette, This Set Encourages Eyeshadow Blending

While all eyeshadow palettes contain a variety of cosmetic colors that can be mixed and matched, one of Sephora's newest sets expressly encourages eyeshadow blending. In the same way that an artists uses a brush to mix colors on a paint palette, beauty consumers are invited to do the same with the Sephora Collection Mixology Eyeshadow Palette.

The unique eyeshadow set includes 18 distinct colors, which are presented like small Venn diagrams. While the colors are already grouped into sets of three that are complementary to one another, there are a total of 153 possible color combinations to be made by just using two shades, or up to 816 possibilities if three shades are used. The set of six mix-and-match color combinations even boasts a dual-sided eyeshadow brush, which provides everything one needs to create virtually endless beauty looks.
