Byredo Makeup palette Isamaya Ffrench eyeshadow — Byredo

WHY SHOULD I CARE?

I’m like a make-up magpie, if I see anything sparkly and pretty, I’m sold. So, when Byredo Makeup launched back in October, I was desperate to get my hands on all of it.

If you’re not familiar with the brand, it’s a collboration between Byredo’s creative director Ben Gorham and make-up icon Isamaya Ffrench. Along with your regular mascara and lipstick offerings, the brand’s experimental hero is the Colour Stick – a cream-based stick of colour, to be used wherever you see fit.

Following the launch of brand, it announced another drop: the 5 Colour Eyeshadow compact. I tossed aside my Colour Stick (it is still brilliant, FYI), for this shiny new toy. A palette truly like no other, the compact is a beautiful golden shell, slightly battered so your reflection is like that of a carnival’s funhouse mirror.

The compact comes in three colourways – Sciomancer, Corporate Colours, and Syren – and upon opening the treasure, you’re presented with 5 shades of eyeshadow. My favourite is Sciomancer – designed in homage to Yves Tumour – with its offering including ‘Ginger Hussy’, ‘Electric Love’, ‘Blue Marionette’, ‘Karma’, and ‘Silver Gutter’ – all beautifully iridescent and easily applied with a swipe of your finger. The mirror inside the compact is perfect for admiring your handiwork while giving you the air of a lady who lunches.

I’d recommend this to anybody bad and boujie who wants all eyes on them, both the punchy colours and precious golden shell are impossible to ignore.
