Sydney Grace California Coast (Light) Eyeshadow Palette

California Coast (Light)

The Sydney Grace California Coast (Light) 9-Pan Eyeshadow Palette is a new rosy-neutral palette with five matte and four shimmer colours. Three of the hues are available in Light and Deep variations. The eyeshadows were pigmented, blendable, and long-lasting, and adhered to the brand’s formula.

Ingredients

Sydney Grace Half Moon Bay (Light) Pressed Pigment Shadow

Half Moon Bay (Light)

Half Moon Bay (Light) is a medium-dark pink with warmer undertones and a metallic sheen. The Deep version of this hue had a somewhat darker and warmer base, which was most noticeable when it wasn’t reflecting light; you don’t need both, but I can see why the Deep version exists for the Deep palette.
