I absolutely love the Yves Saint Laurent Beauty Couture Variation eyeshadow palettes so I was thrilled we are getting a new one with The Shock 2017 Eye collection. If a smokey eye is your thing then this could be the palette for you. Here are the swatches of the brand new YSL The Shock Palette Couture Variation in No 4 Underground. Enjoy!

My other Couture Variation palette is No 1 and it’s all nude shades, so this deeper, more intense line up is a welcome addition. The shade range is absolutely gorgeous.

There are ten “underground’ shades of black and also what YSL are calling “colours to balance black”.

Cream Primer / Highlighter

There are shimmers, mattes and metallics in powder form and also a couple of cream shades – one is a lid primer or highlighter and the other is a black eyeliner. It has rather a lot to offer!

The idea with Couture Variation No 4 Underground is that you can go for a rough, purposely imperfect look, or create a more refined, perfected smokey eye.

The textures are lovely – easy to apply and blend. And every shade is appealing. These long sleek palettes are amazing for travelling because they are super slim and come with a workable brush that you can actually use!
