Considering how consistently she serves up stunning make-up inspiration on the red carpet, on Instagram and via her YouTube channel, it was really no surprise that actress Shay Mitchell was picked to create a make-up collection with cult Cosmetics brand, Smashbox. Now after moths of buzz, the ‘Cover Shots: Eye Palettes’ collaboration is finally available to buy in Australia, and it was worth the wait.

Consisting of seven variations the shade range is stunning – from bold colour pops and ethereal pinks to everyday neutrals and nighttime smoky tones – while the matte-to-metallic finishes all pack some serious pay-off punch. However what really makes these palettes total champions is how compact they are – they each house eight shades in a light, but sturdy case that’s only a touch bigger than an iPhone.
