Didn’t think you could create a complete eyeshadow look with anything less than a 12-color palette? Well, Lakme’s about to prove you wrong. Their 9 to 5 Eyeshadow Quartet’s allow you versatile, wearable and easy-to-create looks for every day of the week.
Each palette comes with a combination of rich or statement colors along with complimentary neutrals that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of looks. A highly pigmented, blendable and breathable formulation makes it so you can create polished looks with minimal effort, and amp them up for the after hours, too. We’ve gone through the hottest eyeshadow trends and picked the best palettes you help you achieve them.
Primetime Picks
1. Lakme 9 To 5 Eye Quartet Eyeshadow - Desert Rose
If you’re looking for subtle but feminine hues for everyday wear, the Desert Rose quartet is your best bet. Between the delicate pink, toffee, bronze and yellow gold, you can create a simple, shimmery mono-lid or a cut crease, or even build on the browns to transition your look from desk to dusk.
Pair this one with tightlined liner or a classic wing for the day.
Peacock Brights
2. Lakme 9 To 5 Eye Quartet Eyeshadow - Royal Peacock
A nod to our beloved national bird, and the trend that never seems to go out of style, the Royal Peacock palette allows you to play with two powerful primaries, emerald green and electric indigo, to create a statement look. We’d have a lot of fun with this one, color blocking between the upper and lower lash line, or creating a shaded, single-tone swathe.
Let the vibrant color speak for itself, only framing your eyes with colored mascara.
Broody Neutrals
3. Lakme 9 To 5 Eye Quartet Eyeshadow - Mystic Nudes
Are you looking for a look that’s demure but kind of dark? The Mystic Nudes palette is your sultry solution. Comprising of a decadent mix of chocolatey shades, plus a muddy mauve – it allows you emphatic, ombre eye looks that can be repurposed to look a little 90s, a little goth or even a little Kardashian.
Define your smokey with brown liner and plenty of mascara on your upper and lower lashes.
