This is what the storm palette looks like. It has a mix of matte and shimmer shadows, with nudes and neutrals and the odd pop of colour. They all work so well together, and I even think that you could create a look using every single shadow together without looking like a hot mess. Funnily enough, the shadows are all named after types of storms. Personally I find it a little bit boring, but we're not here to judge now.
TOP ROW L-R Sand Storm, Snow Storm, Calm Before The Storm, Thunder Storm, Perfect Storm, Firestorm.
BOTTOM ROW L-R Dust Storm, Gathering Storm, Storm Cloud, Electric Storm, Eye Of The Storm, Blackout.
My favourite from the palette is probably Snow Storm. It's a really pretty white pearly shimmer with pink/peach undertones and it's just oh so pretty. I use it as a soft highlight in the corner of my eyes, and even a little bit under the brow bone.

Here is my finished look. From the Storm palette I used Snow Storm as a base, Calm Before The Storm in my crease and darkened with Eye Of The Storm round the edge. I used Thunder Storm to fill in my lid and a tiny amount of Perfect Storm to blend it out. It was all looking very pretty and gentle until I whipped out the eyeliner and threw a copious amount of that onto my eyeballs. And that's how we ended up at this.

And that's that! This is a much heavier look than I'm used to but I must say I'm really loving it. I always felt my eyes were too small for thick eyeliner but I'm going to wear it anyway because honestly, it looks awesome.
