About eyeshadow names

An eyeshadow name does work a color chip cannot. It hints at depth, temperature and often finish before anyone swatches the pan, and it gives a shopper something to ask for. Eyes also wear colors lips never do, so the vocabulary is wider: mossy greens, storm blues, golds, pewters and grays sit beside the taupes and bronzes.

Most of this list is single-shade names. They cover neutrals and earth tones (Taupe Tier, Canyon Wall), smoky darks (Campfire Smoke, Graphite Smudge), jewel tones named for real gemstones (Alexandrite Shift, Labradorite Flash), pastels, brights, and the greens, blues, golds and silvers. A large group is finish-led, because on the lid finish matters as much as color: Welcome Matte, Shimmer Down, Foiled Again, or Trick of the Light for a duochrome. Another group plays on eye and makeup words such as lid, wink, blink, crease, blend and pan: Crease Lightning, Put a Lid on It, Flash in the Pan.

More than sixty names are titles for a whole palette, written as themes (Lagoon at Noon, Mesa After Sundown, The Midnight Zone) so the shades inside can be named to match. Everything is family-friendly, and the list stays away from the dessert and cocktail puns that nail polish already owns.

How to choose eyeshadow names

Let the name carry the finish. Online, a row of pans looks alike, so Welcome Matte, Satin Lining or Lake Shimmer tells a shopper what a photo cannot.
Name a duochrome for the change, not for one of its colors. Alexandrite Shift, Oil on Water and Two-Tone Beetle all say that the shade moves between two tones.
Build a palette from the title down. Pick a title such as Orchard in October, then pull shade names from the same world (Wheat Field, Old Penny, Rusted Gate) so the whole palette reads as one story.
Keep depth cues honest. Pitch Dark and Moonless Night promise a deep shade and Milk Opal promises a pale one, so do not put them on a mid-tone.
Search the name with the word eyeshadow before you commit. Beauty puns get reused constantly, and we have not looked up who else sells a shade under any of these names.

Frequently asked questions

What are good names for a neutral or smoky eyeshadow?

For neutrals, names that point at a familiar material work well: Taupe Tier, Greige Area, Unbleached Linen, Old Penny and Antique Brass are all in the list. For a smoky shade, try Campfire Smoke, Graphite Smudge, Slow Smolder or Smudged on Purpose.

How do I name an eyeshadow palette?

Give it a theme rather than a color list, because a palette holds many colors. Titles such as Lagoon at Noon, Library After Closing and Grandmother's Jewelry Box suggest a mood and a color family at once. Then name the shades inside to fit the theme. The Everyday Nine and The Daily Dozen are there for plain neutral palettes.

How is an eyeshadow name different from a lipstick or nail polish name?

Eyes wear greens, blues, golds and grays that lips rarely do, so names like Olive Drab, Cyanotype, Panning for Gold and Payne's Gray have a home here. Finish matters more too, which is why so many names mention matte, satin, shimmer, foil or glitter. The wordplay is about lids, creases and blending rather than kisses or manicures.

Can I use these names for my own makeup line?

You can use them as a starting point. We have not looked up whether a cosmetics company already sells a shade or a palette under any of these names, and short puns are reused a lot in beauty. Search the name yourself, and get legal advice before you print it on packaging.
