A Must-Have Cruelty-Free Eyeshadow Palette For Fall

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links.

If pumpkin spice lattes and cozy sweaters aren't enough to get you excited for fall, then maybe The Nomad eyeshadow palette from Juvia's Place will have you feeling autumn vibes.  This cruelty-free, 9-pan layout features 7 matte and 2 shimmering wear-now colors. Aesthetically, the palette is a feast for the eyes, visually and literally, with a cornucopia of shades that remind you of leaves changing color on the trees. 

For those of you who are not familiar with Juvia's Place, I can't wait for you to meet this amazing brand! Sit back and relax because you are seriously in for a treat. Juvia's Place is not an ordinary cosmetic brand. It's special. It has a complete beauty portfolio designed for all people and all skin tones with bold, quality formulas designed for full coverage and maximum pigmentation all at a price that will have you wishing you had discovered it sooner. 

Necessity and inspiration spawned the creation of Juvia’s Place. Founder Chichi Eburu, struggled to find makeup suited for her deep skin tone. What she found available were muted colors and products that didn’t enhance the true richness of her skin tone. Fast forward to today and Chichi's black-owned beauty brand is a dream come true for her as well as her customers. And just to give you an idea of how amazing she is, Juvia's Place is giving away a $50,000 grant to 6 black-owned businesses. She understands the struggles that black entrepreneurs face and wanted to help alleviate some of the burdens and pass the blessings around. I don't know about you but I especially love supporting brands that give back. See, I told you this brand was special!

All shades from The Nomad palette are finger swatched on my daughter's fair/cool skin in natural daylight. The formulas behave well with brushes and sponge applicators but I prefer applying the shadow with my fingers until the very end when blending it out with a brush. The overall color payoff is outstanding and the texture is velvety smooth. The matte shades do have a little fallout but they have great staying power and all blend like butter.

The Nomad palette has a broad range of shades from light to dark. If you are like me and get overwhelmed with all nine shades, try breaking it down into quads or duos to both simplify and get your creativity flowing. For example, take a look at the bottom right quad's stunning, rich color palette. You could work all four colors into one look or grab two. The eyeshadow palette's grayish greens, both in the matte and shimmer formulas are my favorites and when blended, the duo creates a sweet smokey eye effect. While I typically shy away from green tones, I absolutely love these shades and the way they flatter my fair skin tone and eye color.  

The Nomad palette makes it easier than ever to create bold, empowered, flawless finishes. Juvia's Place The Nomad eyeshadow palette can be found at ULTA ($15) and Juvia's Place.
