DIY Cool Berries Eyeshadow Palette

Today I’m bringing you the DIY Cool Berries Eyeshadow Palette that you requested! I hit up my collection for cool-toned eyeshadows to share with you, primarily in the pinks, purples, mauves, and reds color families. I did include a few greys and taupes because they’re also cool toned and in the case of Nabla, I wanted to swatch the entire Christmas Mauve collection I bought. Now, you don’t need to buy every single eyeshadow in this post! Pick and choose your favorites from the colors you see here to build your perfect palette.

Makeup Geek PR samples. Everything else purchased by me.

I love my GlamTech palettes! I had them custom made by an Orlando etsy seller, GlamTech. You can get just about any design that you want handmade by GlamTech. These are what I buy now instead of z-palettes. They’re more sturdy and I love that I can get custom designs. They also travel well.

I especially love Pink Champagne, Macaroon, Baby Cakes, Buon Fresco, Gemstone, Enchanted and Rosette.

You can buy Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyeshadow Singles at Sephora, Ulta and Anastasia’s website. They are $12 individually, but you get discounts if you buy 4 or 8 at a time.

I love Makeup Geek and when going through my Makeup Geek eyeshadows vs. what is currently available on the Makeup Geek website I got very depressed. Makeup Geek has discontinued so many colors that would have been perfect for this DIY Cool Berries Eyeshadow Palette! Here are the ones I could include. I especially love Masquerade, Caitlin Rose, Curfew, and Petal Pusher. I just couldn’t believe the number of purples that Makeup Geek has killed off, like Duchess, Motown, Taboo, and Blacklight, just to name a few. I hope Makeup Geek releases a ton of new eyeshadows soon!

Makeup Geek Eyeshadows are available at MakeupGeek.com. They’re $6 to $10 each.

Last Caress
The perfect mauve-taupe Ultra Matte.

Meanstreak
She is the prettiest deep plum Ultra Matte Shade.

Assimilate
Perfect deep taupe matte.
Deep cool taupe matte.

With as much as I love to use the Melt She’s in Parties stack, especially Last Caress and Meanstreak, I realized I needed to include them in my DIY Cool Berries Eyeshadow Palette. Last Caress, Meanstreak and Assimilate are more on the smoky, burnt side as opposed to brights, but I think they fit right in. Meanstreak looks very brown-toned plum in the swatch but when you use it on top of a purple shade, all the purple tones come out. It’s lovely. See my Melt She’s in Parties Stack review.

Melt is available at MeltCosmetics. They’re $17 individually or $48 for most stacks.

LASplash Medusa liner absolutely deserves to be in this post because it’s a beautiful maroon / wine / burgundy / oxblood type shade that’s extremely hard to find and goes so well with these cool berry shades.

  1. Gorgeous colors, thank you for the inspiration! And the cool swatches too. By the way, what is the purple shade (far right) in the Sydney Grace set? I don’t think you swatched it.

  2. Wonderful post, I see so many shades I am going to have to investigate. Thank you for all you hard work.

  3. I don’t know what it is about berry tones, but they make me really happy. These are gorgeous. No other word to describe them! Thanks for sharing this with us!
