Level Up Your Makeup Game with These Eyeshadow Tips from Pros

You spend time perfecting your look, only to watch it fade, crease, or smudge before lunch. Sound familiar? Most eyeshadows can’t handle real life in New Zealand.

That’s why Thin Lizzy created the Triple Effect Eyeshadow Palette. One compact. 12 versatile shades. 36 bold, blendable looks built to handle heat, humidity, and whatever your day throws at you. From morning coffee to late-night catch-ups, it stays put—so you don’t have to.

The Common Eyeshadow Let-downs

Let’s be honest: most palettes fall short in four key ways:

Colour Fades Too Soon

You apply your eyeshadow in the morning, but by lunchtime, the colour is dull or gone. Your mid-day mirror check confirms it: your glow has disappeared.

Creasing and Smudging

A blink, a humid walk, or a hot commute, and suddenly your liner migrates, your pigment settles into creases, and your lids feel messy.

Dull Finishes

Bold tones start off great but fade fast. That dramatic pop? Flattened. Your effort doesn’t last past afternoon tea.

Complicated Routines

Primers, setting sprays, three brushes for one look, makeup shouldn’t be this much work. Especially when you're getting ready on the go.

You deserve better. That’s where Thin Lizzy’s Triple Effect Eyeshadow Palette comes in built for real Kiwi routines and real results.

Introducing Thin Lizzy Triple Effect Eyeshadow

Thin Lizzy’s team wasn’t satisfied with the average. They heard complaints from mothers, workers, and students about palettes that didn’t endure our weather or our pace of life. So they crafted something better.

One palette with 12 core shades, offering 36 finishes via three application methods:

• Dry brush for soft, everyday mattes.
  
  

• Fingertip for rich, velvet tones.
  
  

• Wet brush for bold metallic intensity.

From office-ready neutrals to bold evening glamour, this palette adapts to your mood, outfit, and plans, without requiring a cupboard full of products.

What Makes Kiwis Obsessed with this Palette

• 3D texture technology: Gives you three finishes from one shade. Less clutter in your bag, and total creative control depending on your mood or event.
  
  

• Humidity-resistant formula: Whether you're power-walking to work in Auckland or stepping out in Christchurch’s chill, your look stays in place.
  
  

• Compact for travel: Jetting off for a weekend or just touching up in the car? This slim palette fits in your smallest purse without sacrificing variety.
  
  

• Great value: Instead of buying three separate palettes for day, night, and glam, this one covers it all, without compromising on colour payoff or staying power.

Pro Tips: Apply & Style Eyeshadow Like a Pro

You don’t need a makeup artist to get stunning results. With the Thin Lizzy Triple Effect Eyeshadow palette, you can create multiple looks easily. 

The Fresh, Everyday Look

This soft and simple look is perfect for daily wear. It makes your eyes look more awake, without looking like you’ve tried too hard.

• Sweep a matte neutral shade all over your lids with a dry brush.
  
  

• Dab a champagne or rose gold shimmer in the centre using your fingertip.
  
  

• Add highlight in the inner corners and under the brow bone.

Day-to-Night in Minutes

Need a look that lasts all day but levels up in the evening? This one’s for you.

• Start your morning with a matte base + fingertip shimmer.
  
  

• For the evening, wet your brush and use bronze or mocha on outer corners and lash line.
  
  

• Blend softly for a seamless transition.

Simple Smokey Eye

Love the drama of a smokey eye but not the time it takes? This easy version delivers.

• Apply matte charcoal or brown to the outer crease with a dry brush.
  
  

• Wet your brush and press on plum, silver, or gunmetal shimmer over the lid.
  
  

• Highlight the inner corners for balance.

Earthy Pop of Colour

Want to explore colour but keep it wearable? Earth tones are an easy win.

• Start with a matte nude base to neutralize the lid.
  
  

• Use your fingertip to apply olive, clay, or terracotta shimmer.
  
  

• Line your lash line using the same shade with a wet angled brush.

How to Choose Your Ideal Palette

Use this simple guide to fine-tune your selection:

1. Know your undertone: Cool tones lean into taupe, charcoal, pearly white. Warm tones suit sand, rust, olive green.
   
   

2. Begin with a neutral base: Use dry matte sand or taupe for a polished first layer.
   
   

3. Select your mood: Add finger-applied shimmer—rose gold for warmth, plum for depth.
   
   

4. Unlock metallic depth: Use wet brush for nighttime intensity—perfect for evenings out.
