ProsWhile I prefer a natural daily makeup look, I don't mind a more dramatic look. Today, I want to share an honest review of the Peripera All-Take Mood Palette 004 [since you're a cool-toned person, please check the DM]. I hope this review can be helpful for those looking for a cool-toned eyeshadow palette, especially those who prefer a subtle or natural-looking eyeshadow like me.
First of all, the palette has a muted color scheme that suits cool-toned skin perfectly, which I liked from the start. Overall, the palette has a soft pink, purple, and mauve color range, which I think would appeal to anyone interested in cool-toned makeup. The subtly gray-toned pinks and muted purples are perfect for those who want to create a soft, blended eyeshadow look.
The palette has a total of 8 shades, with a mix of matte, shimmer, and glitter finishes, allowing for versatile looks. Since I enjoy a natural makeup look, I tend to use the matte shades for everyday, and I'll add a touch of glitter on special occasions to add a point of interest.
The matte shades apply smoothly and have minimal fallout. As a dry-skinned person in shade 21, I was worried about the eyeshadows emphasizing dryness or patchiness, but the base and transition shades blended seamlessly, even for someone like me with a monolid. The muted cool-toned colors are not overwhelming, and just a single layer can create a natural depth to the eyes.
The 'Ice Lavender' and 'Mystic Mauve' shades were particularly great for me as a monolid user, working well as base or all-over lid shades for my cool-toned, shade 21 skin. They're not too muddy or too pale, making the face look brighter. I'd highly recommend this palette to those who want to add a subtle shadow effect rather than a pronounced contour.
The shimmer and glitter shades have a delicate, luminous pearl finish. The glitters are finely milled, so they don't feel heavy, and they enhance the clean, transparent look of cool-toned makeup. The 'Pink Champagne' glitter, in particular, is great for adding a touch of interest to the inner corner, center of the lid, and triangle area for a daily makeup look.I usually just apply a small amount of glitter to the inner corner, but for special occasions or important events, I'll apply it all over the lid area to create a brighter, more luminous look. Even with my dry skin, there was minimal fallout or creasing, so the look stayed fresh and clean throughout the day without needing touch-ups.
The color combination in this palette is really well-thought-out. With base, contour, accent, and glitter shades all in one palette, I could create a complete eye look without having to carry multiple products, which was incredibly convenient. Even on mornings when I'm short on time, I can just lay down the base color, build up a subtle contour, and add a touch of glitter for a polished, sophisticated eye makeup.
As a monolid user with relatively wide lid space, I find that overly intense colors can sometimes make my eyes look puffy or heavy. But the muted tones in this palette create a soft, sultry look without feeling weighed down, which I think would work well for fellow monolid users.
The longevity was also quite satisfactory. The colors didn't fade significantly throughout the day, and the pearls didn't disappear or cause excessive fallout, making this palette suitable for daily use. I also really appreciated the creamy formula, which applied evenly without emphasizing dryness or texture.
In summary, this is a palette that I, as a cool-toned, shade 21, monolid user, have been thoroughly enjoying for daily use. If you prefer a natural, shadowy eye makeup look, this palette has you covered from base to accent, making it accessible even for makeup beginners. I'd highly recommend this to those seeking a muted, soft cool-toned palette to achieve a bright, luminous look.
Thanks to this product, I've been finding more joy in my makeup routine, and I've even received compliments from those around me, saying I look brighter. If you're in the market for a cool-toned palette, especially as a monolid or shade 21 user who likes natural makeup, I'd definitely suggest giving this one a try.
ConsIf I had to point out a downside, it would be that the overall saturation is low and there are many muted tones, so those looking for vibrant colors or deep shadows may find it a bit lacking. However, if you, like me, prefer a natural daily makeup look with a transparent and luminous feel, it should work well for you. Additionally, the glitter shades tend to show their pearlescent effect better when applied with your fingertips or a silicone applicator, so I'd recommend using your hands rather than a brush for those.
