Versatile Metallic Eye Shadows

These Stila Eyeshadow Palettes Each Include 12 Stunning Shades

Two new Stila eyeshadow palettes have been released in time for the summer, with the Happy Hour and After Hour palettes combining different hues of metallic shades, enabling consumers to achieve virtually any shimmery look, no matter the occasion.

The Happy Hour palette comes with 12 mostly neutral and pastel hues, with deeper shades of navy blue and black included as well. Although the vast majority of the 12 shades have a metallic finish, the palette is rounded out with a few mattes as well, which are great for blending into the creases and under eye areas.

The After Hours palette has a similar combination of metallic and matte shades, however instead of pastels, it focuses on earthy hues, favoring shades of coral, green, orange, and pink.
