Swatching Every Subtl Beauty Eyeshadow Duo: Your Ultimate Guide
Hey everyone! Welcome back to the Subtl Beauty YouTube channel. It's Keira here, and I’m so excited to be doing something you’ve been asking for—a full swatch session of all the Subtl Beauty eyeshadow duos! I know many of you have been eager to see these shades in action, and although I’m missing one shade (I'm traveling and it must be hiding in a random stak at home), don’t worry—I’ve got you covered with swatches and descriptions of the rest.
If you’re new here, welcome! We’re Subtl Beauty, and we create amazing stackable makeup products that are perfect for on-the-go beauty routines. Today, I’m swatching all of our eyeshadow duos, so let’s dive right in!
1. Cloud Nine
First up is Cloud Nine. This duo features a soft, peachy-pink matte shade paired with a shimmer. It's part of the Vacation Collection and is just so pretty! The light, pinky tones are perfect for a soft, everyday look. This duo is very similar to my skin tone, making it ideal for creating a natural matte base. Here’s the swatch—very light, very pretty!
2. Jelly
Next, we have my absolute favorite: Jelly. This duo includes a pinky-brown matte and a pinky-white shimmer that looks stunning on everyone. It’s such a versatile and universally flattering combination. The swatch may not do it justice, but trust me—Jelly is seriously gorgeous!
3. Takeoff
Now, let’s move on to Takeoff, which is actually what I’m wearing right now! This duo consists of a warm brown shimmer and a warm almond matte. It’s a lovely combination for a neutral look. I’ve paired it with a little highlighter in the center, and it gives off such a pretty, subtle glow. Here’s the swatch—it’s a bit tricky, but you get the idea!
4. Layover
Next is Layover. This duo is a cool lilac shimmer paired with a soft lilac matte. It’s such a beautiful and delicate combination, perfect for adding a touch of color without going overboard. The lilac tones are so, so pretty. Here’s the swatch—you’re going to love it!
5. Staycation
Moving on to Staycation—this one features a taupe shimmer and a cool taupe matte. This duo is a staple in my collection because the shades are just so versatile. If you’re looking for a reliable mix of warm and cool tones, Staycation and Takeoff are must-haves. These shades are essentials that every makeup lover should own!
6. Bon Voyage
Now we have Bon Voyage, which is unique because it includes two matte shades: a light brown and a dark brown. These tones are perfect for creating depth and dimension in your eye makeup, and they work beautifully together. Here’s the swatch—super pretty and versatile!
7. Crush
Next up is Crush—this is the one shade I’m missing, but I’ll pop up a photo so you can see it. Crush features a purple matte and a cool purple shimmer. If you love purple tones, this duo is for you. It’s like if Jelly had more purple—it’s just gorgeous.
8. Dune
Dune is another one of my absolute favorites. This duo includes a warm champagne shimmer and a rich brown matte. I particularly love using the brown shade as eyeliner—it’s perfect for creating a winged liner look that lasts all day. It’s a rich shade that’s perfect for adding drama to your look, whether it’s date night or a special occasion.
9. Cruise
Lastly, we have Cruise. This duo features two dusty, lavender matte shades that are cool-toned and simply beautiful. The lavender tones are soft and subtle, making them perfect for a gentle, everyday look. Here’s the final swatch—just lovely!
Final Thoughts
And there you have it—all of the Subtl Beauty eyeshadow duos swatched and ready for you to explore! These shades are all incredibly beautiful and pigmented, even though it can be challenging to get all the color up with just your finger. The shimmers definitely translate better with finger application, but all these shades are stunning.
If you want to see these shades on different skin tones and undertones, don’t forget to check out the swatches on the product page. We have images of each shade on different arms, which can help you pick out the shades that will work best for you.
I almost don’t want to wash these swatches off my arm—it feels like a masterpiece! But if you have any questions or feedback, leave them in the comments. Let us know if there are any shades you feel are missing, or if there’s something you’d love to see from Subtl Beauty next. We’re always listening and eager to hear your thoughts.
