ROMAND Better Than Palette 01 Pampas Garden

Warm corals are the shade family Korean palettes do best, and 01 is where the Secret Garden series makes its case. The romand better than palette 01 pampas garden holds ten shades across peach, coral and champagne gold over warm ivory, split six matte and four glitter.

The six-four split is a genuinely useful ratio. Six mattes gives enough range to build a full eye look with real depth, and four glitters covers everything from a subtle sheen to a proper sparkle. The named shades run through Skin Beige, Pink Pampas, Mellow Coral, Mood Brown and Deep Brownie on the matte side, with Glam Star, Sparkling Petal, Shining Pampas, Coral Day and Sunshine Flower on the glitter side. rom&nd's ultra-fine particle formula is why the mattes blend without patchiness.

This suits warm and neutral undertones. If your undertone runs cool, 03 Rosebud Garden is the mauve-rose option. Note the palette contains Yellow 5 Lake and Red 30 colourants.
