In this video I’m reviewing the new YSL Couture Eye Palette in “9 Shades of Brown,” and honestly—when I first saw it on Instagram, my heart dropped. I don’t usually gasp over bigger palettes (or powder shadows, if I’m being real), but I’m a brown-tone lover, especially neutral-to-warm, and this is basically my dream palette. I go through the layout (neutral gradient row, shimmer/toppers row, and that warm top row), plus the luxe packaging that looks like a beigey glitter clutch. I swatch everything and walk you through a full demo: starting with a neutral crease shade to contour the eye, building depth in the outer V, and then layering the metallic and topper finishes for a soft, sophisticated sparkle. The formula is that buttery, slurry-style powder—super soft, easy to blend, and you can build pigment without having to go in too hard. There is a bit of fallout, so tapping off matters. My main takeaway: it’s a well-curated brown palette with real versatility—warm everyday looks, more neutral options, and a proper smoky eye with a black that is truly black. The toppers are intentionally soft (not a mega-glitter moment), and while it’s luxury-priced, I genuinely think it delivers in the luxury segment for what you get.
