About the Product
Product Description The [dasique] Mood Shadow Palette #02 Cool Basic is a masterclass in color theory for Summer and Winter Cool tones. While standard palettes rely on warm pigments, this collection strips away the yellow and red, leaving behind pure, chic ash tones.
It features dasique’s renowned Soft-Matte Formula, which is so fine it feels like a cream-powder hybrid. This texture is crucial for cool tones, as it prevents the "bruised" look that can happen with patchy dark shadows. Instead, it blends into a soft, filtered haze. Whether you want a pale, milky base or a smoky, charcoal eye, this palette has every step covered.
❄️ The Color Story: Zero Redness, Zero Yellow
This palette is divided into a logical spectrum designed to mimic natural cool-toned shadows.
| Zone | Shades | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| The Milks | Pale Lavenders & Whites | Brightens the eye area and corrects dullness. Acts as a "tone-up" for the eyelids. |
| The Mauves | Dusty Roses & Muted Purples | Adds a romantic, moody vibe without looking inflamed. Perfect for "Summer Cool" elegance. |
| The Contours | Ash Greys & Taupes | The holy grail of shading. These mimic natural shadows on the face, perfect for nose and eye socket contouring. |
| The Smokys | Charcoals & Deep Browns | Intense, cool-toned liners to add definition without the harshness of pure black. |

💡 Usage Tips for Cool Tones
- The "Ash" Contour: Use the middle-row grey-brown shades to contour your nose. Because they lack red pigment, they look like actual shadows, not makeup stripes.
- Layering Glitters: The glitters in this palette are icy (silver/champagne/pink pearls). Dab them on the center of the lid to make the matte grey colors pop.
- Eyebrows: If you have black or dark brown hair, the bottom row of dark ash browns makes for a perfect, natural eyebrow powder that isn't too stark.
Recommendation
- Target: People with cool undertones who struggle to find "neutral" browns that don't turn orange.
- Style: Ideal for the "Mauve Makeup" look or sophisticated office wear.
- Texture: Mostly matte (approx. 15 shades) with curated shimmers (approx. 5 shades).
