Does the light shadow go on the lid or in the crease? Does the dark shadow go on the lashline or on the browbone? What colour goes where?? This is a common concern that many people have and guess what, Cargo’s Essential Eyeshadow Palettes ($32), new this Fall, answer all your questions.
There are 3 new palettes, the Warm/Neutral, Cool/Neutral and Dark/Neutral all in the beige, taupe, brown family so they work on every skin tone. I was never a fan of CARGO shadows, the pigments always seemed so weak, especially their palettes, but these are great and they actually last. They have a stain finish, so minimal shimmer which means you have the opportunity to add from your own collection to get your own creation. Warm/Neutral - (cream/ ivory beige / warm brown / dark neutral brown)
Cool/Neutral - (peach ivory/ tan/ warm brown/ dark brown)
Dark/Neutral - (pink champagne/ light taupe/ medium ash brown/ deep charcoal brown)
These shadows give the perfect “not wearing any makeup” look and you can squeeze on some gloss for the day and add some cat-eye liner with red lips for the night! Glamorous!
Cargo has a few more palettes out this Fall, that I have yet to try, but they look so vibrant:
Color Eyeshadow Palette ($28)
Artistic packaging and four generous shadows make up this palette. They come in 8 combinations, ranging from shimmery pinks to brown sheens.

Being as vibrant as they are, I’m just hoping that these palettes have intense pigments – there’s nothing that I hate more than having to scrape shadow just to see a lil' colour.
Wet/Dry Eyelining Palette ($32)
This compact contains 8 liner shadows that can be worn wet or dry. The dry look gives a more natural effect where as the wet gives a precise, sharp line. I did a quick swatch test on these, and they looked great on my hand.
