Charlotte Tilbury Desert Haze Matte Palette

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m surprised that the sunset trend for eye colour has lasted as long as it has – kicked off, of course, by Urban Decay Naked Heat.

I really like this palette because each shade has enough strength that it can easily be worn as a stand alone rather than as part of any particular ‘look’ and that makes it more versatile. Although you could say that about any palettes, I always tend to skip the first pale part of every-nuance-of-nude and would rather have strong colours from the outset for a mono-lid.

Desert Haze is a good name for it too because the effect of layering is kind of hazy – there’s no shimmer to distract from a perfect blend and believe me, these are easy shades to blend because the formula is good and the pigment is high (go lightly until you are used to it). In the same way that the blue toned palette I featured a few weeks ago is rocket fuel for brown eyes, this is the same for blue eyes. It brings them to maximum life.

Obviously, you’ll get a gorgeous result on any eye colour, but these shades are blue poppers (especially nice as well as a smokey on very deep tones). It’s £40 which I find really quite expensive but oh, it’s pretty! You can find it HERE, non affiliate HERE.

    I’d pounce if I didn’t already have the Chanel matte red/brown quad, Candeur et Experience . (Oddly, I find brick red easier to wear than the orangey russet in this one) I’ve the CT other neutral matte quad and like it very much, although I do find there’s more pigment fall then you’d expect. (What I’d really love from this brand is the facility to build one’s own ideal quad palette from individual pans)
    But I’m amazed in all honesty thst there’s any market left for this shade collection to reach…..maybe it’s for brand completists?

      I agree – I didn’t think it would re-appear as often as it does but I like that the shades are straight to the point, if you like, rather than swathed in a bigger palette with lots of uneccessary extras.

    Absolutely, that’s what makes quads so attractive to me. An additional dozen varieties of milk and pale peach just drive me to distraction….there are so many utterly insane mega-palettes around now, and even the mile-long Urban Decay ones look restrained by comparison !
    Yes, the sight of four excellent, matte, no messing shades is extremely uplifting.

    I’m amazed this is still a thing, I’d imagine everyone who is into these shades would already have dupes for all of these shades in their collection. Even just thinking of the Soft Glam palette I know they’re in there. I think CT has waited a bit too long to get on this band wagon, I would have snapped this up 2 years ago. Its a shame

    A beautiful palette! It brings in my mind Beige Massai an old palette from Dior, who was one of the first who dared warm eyeshadows, if I’m not mistaken.

  5. Oh wow that’s a pretty palette!
