wearing the new $45 limited edition The essentials Eye palette by Clarins
True, there are lots of charming holiday gifts out there now for the appeal junkies in your life (and that includes yourself!), but not all of them offer the added bonus of concurrently helping others.
Stripes = Tabs approved
Chances are your citizen makeup loving do-gooder friend will love the assortment of 10 wearable beige, brown and taupe mineral eyeshadows in the new $45 Clarins The essentials Palette, and when she hears about how Clarins partnered with the PurProject organization to help preserve the Kuntanawa culture and ecosystem in Brazil, she’ll appreciate the gift even more.

A handy-dandy guide with eye looks for inspiration
According to PurPuroject and Clarins, the Kuntanawa people of the Amazon basin in Brazil heavily depend on the forest for their livelihood, and today they struggle to maintain their culture as deforestation threatens their environment.
Neutrals, neutrals, everywhere!
Clarins has vowed to plant 10,000 trees to preserve the Kuntanawa culture and ecosystem, with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this limited edition palette going to support the initiative.
Swatches of the darker shades…
But the feel-good aspect doesn’t stop there. The palette itself has environment-friendly flair, like reusable packaging made from environment-friendly cardboard (the eyeshadows pop out when you’re finished with them, allowing you to reuse the box) and a dual-tipped brush made from sustainable birch wood and recycled aluminum.

Swatches of the lighter shades…
As for the eyeshadows themselves, they include a smattering of warmer shades, which I’m wearing here, but for the most part, the palette leans neutral/cool.
Wearing shade 1 all over as a base, 6 in my crease and along my lower lash lines, 7 on my lids, 10 along my upper lash lines and 2 on my brow one and in the inner corners
The finishes are mostly satins and pearls, with a couple of mattes dropped in for contrast.
The textures blend like butter, and I like the delicate shine of the shimmery shadows. nothing here is overly frosty, keeping the overall effect elegant.
Additional makeup worn in this look: NARS One night Stand palette on my cheeks, MAC Dazzleglass in Phiff on my lips and Bobbi brown Smokey Lash Mascara on my lashes
I do have to contend with some minor fallout…but it’s not something a quick swipe of a makeup wipe can’t fix.

The essentials absolutely delivers as an everyday eye palette, particularly if you like cool-toned grayish taupes and neutral golden browns.
