If you’ve read some of my previous blogs, you know I am a fan of the monochromatic 9-pan palettes from Colourpop. Since summer is finally upon us, I decided it was time to break out the warm colors and take a closer look at the Uh-Huh Honey Shadow Palette.

Like the other monochromatic palettes, this one is priced at $12 and features 9 glitter, shimmer, and matte shadows in various yellow hues. The shades in the palette are described as:

• Stinger: matte buttery yellow

• Sunburst: metallic lemon yellow with blue glitter

• Sweet Spot: matte primary yellow

• Dandy: metallic vibrant yellow gold

• Palooza: bright yellow with a copper duochrome shift

• Queen B: metallic dandelion

• Totally Buggin': matte butterscotch yellow

• Oh Beehave: matte mustard

• Buzz Kill: matte yellow brown

Like the others, this one is no different when it comes to formulation. They are highly pigment and easily bendable. In fact, these are actually easier to work with than the cool tone palettes, since warm tones are generally easier to formulate than cool shades. This one also differs from the previous palettes because it contains one of Colourpop’s exclusive pressed glitter shades.

Because I have an olive skin tone, there are many shades of yellow that simply do not look good on me. I like that this palette has different undertones, so I can get away with using most of them. I also enjoy that there is a brown shade with a yellow undertone for the crease area. This is something that has been missing from the other monochromatic palettes. You won’t need to reach for a companion palette because that brown tone is included.

Final Thoughts

If you are in need of yellow shadows, this is a great affordable option to add a variety of yellow shimmers and mattes to your collection. It is great for the summer months, or to take on any vacation you have planned (if we’re ever allowed outside again). Whether you’re a makeup newbie, or an experienced working artist, you will get good usage out of this palette, for every level of makeup application knowledge.
