Eyeshadow

Build Your Perfect Eye Look

Single eyeshadows and smaller eye palettes make it easy to customise your eye look, whether you gravitate toward everyday neutrals, soft shimmer, or more statement shades. They are ideal for building a collection around the colours and finishes you actually wear, rather than navigating oversized palettes with unused shades. At ARC, this category includes options from Fenty Beauty, NARS Cosmetics, Bobbi Brown, Chanel, and Clinique

Singles, Duos, and Quads — Choosing Your Format

Singles are ideal for everyday shades and adding specific colours to your routine, while duos and quads offer a more curated combination of tones designed to work together. Cream and stick formats have also become increasingly popular for their ease of application and blendability. Fenty Beauty Shadowstix Longwear Eyeshadow Sticks deliver buildable colour in a cream-to-powder texture that can be blended directly onto the lid, while NARS Eyeshadow Stick offers a similar swipe-and-go format. For more variety in one compact, NARS Eyeshadow Quad combines complementary shades for easy layering and dimension.

Matte vs Shimmer Eyeshadow

Different finishes create different effects. Matte shadows are often used to add shape and depth, while shimmer and metallic finishes reflect light and bring more dimension to the eyes. Glitter finishes tend to create a more statement look, especially when concentrated along the centre of the lid or inner corners. Fenty Beauty Shadowstix Diamonds offers a high-shine, glitter-inspired finish, while Bobbi Brown and Clinique focus more on softer, wearable textures suited to everyday makeup looks.
