Yet, the ELF Bite Size palette in Cream and Sugar is an interesting one to have in your stash if you find yourself reaching out for neutral eyeshadows often.

Figure out your skin's undertone. Is your skin more warm, cool, or somewhere in between? For a warm undertone, think earthy vibes with shades of copper, bronze, rose gold and warm browns. If you have cool undertones, go for jewel tones, blues, purples and even silvers. If you have a neutral undertone, you can wear any color you want. Bronzer helps to give your skin a warm, luminous glow—as if you’ve spent time in the sun. They can also lightly sculpt your face. Bronzers come in cream or putty and powder form and may be matte or shimmery. Used some setting spray on brush and dipped into shade 4 to get an intensified berry/brown on the outer corner At some point, I came across ELF palettes that the brand released for spring a few years ago called Bite-Size palettes. They make the green in my eyes pop, and the two metallic burgundy shades really do a great job. The only letdown in this palette is the lighter shade, but if you’re going to use it to blend out the darker matte eyeshadow, it still performs quite well.The mattes seem to fade after 4-5 hours but the metallics save the night because they really do stay put the entire day. There is some fading when it comes to the reflection of the metallics, though! I don’t use an eye primer (because I don’t have one). Conclusion Consider the size of the palette. A mini eyeshadow palette with a curated selection of shades can be less overwhelming for beginners than an 18-pan eye palette with vibrant shades that are a mix of matte, satin, and shimmer shades. Matte shades are the easiest to work with and the most suitable for daily wear which would be great for a beginner. While you can totally do a full look with each palette, or mix and match, sometimes having only four shades can be limiting. Not all of the palettes have a neutral shade for the crease, or a white shade to set the eyelid. Depending on how fancy you want to get with your eye look, you may supplement with other palettes. Either way, your creativity is your only limit as you can create endless looks with each palette. I loved the ELF Bite Size eyeshadow palettes as soon as they were released a few years ago, so today, we’re going to be doing a little review with swatches of the marvels the super affordable Bite Size palettes are. Start by selecting a base shade—something close to your skin tone such as pearl, beige, or peach. Use a flat eyeshadow brush and sweep this shade over your lids and up to your brow bone

These pressed pigments are easy to work with. The pans are large enough to fit a brush on the pigment to get color, even though the eyeshadow quads are tiny. They are blendable and buildable, making them great if you want to let your inner artist out.

When selecting a beginner eyeshadow palette, there are a few things to consider. First, choose an eye palette that offers a range of neutral shades, as these are easier to work with. Look for a palette that includes both matte and shimmer finishes, allowing you to create different eye looks and experiment with textures. It's also helpful to choose a palette with instructions, guiding you on where to place each shade for a basic eye look. All the pictures are absolutely untouched and you can see skin texture, fine lines, and facial hair. 🙂 The ELF Bite Size eyeshadow palette in Acai You is my second favorite out of the whole bunch, after the Hot Jalapeno palette. I love desaturated blue eyeshadows, and the Acai You palette offers just that. Foundation comes in cream, liquid, and powder formulas and offers coverage that ranges from sheer to light to medium to full. It can provide a matte finish, a dewy finish, or an iridescent finish. Whatever coverage or finish you need, there is something for you.
