Crayons have a huge impact on the world — seriously. They allow the user to indulge their creativity, and teach us a thing or two about coloring inside and outside the lines of life. And now you can apply those philosophies to makeup with a new art tool-inspired eyeshadow palette. The Box of Crayons Eyeshadow Palette by black-owned beauty brand The Crayon Case Cosmetics is inspired by that box of Crayolas you used while growing up. The collection is specifically designed to add major pops of pigment to your lids.
The are 18 colors in this "iShadow" palette, and the formula is long-lasting. The hues are absolutely extra but in the best way. There are no boring, basic neutrals here. Instead, you can rock forest green, bright yellow, baby blue, hot pink, and more. Even the browns in this palette are "wowza!"
