Inspired by the limited edition palette that stole your heart, this 42 and 16-shade colour collection is the ultimate love letter to nature, blossoming with energetic greens, molten neutrals, and earthy browns.

Packed with By BEAUTY BAY’s iconic blendable, buildable, and long-lasting formula, venture into effortless application and powerful pigment with every swipe.
To celebrate the comeback of your favourite flower-infused palette, we’ll be showing you how to recreate two of our lushest eye looks, Emerald Dusk and Honeysuckle Heat, courtesy of @beatbyrache and @beccaalicepilkington.
How to create the Emerald Dusk look
Imagine an enchanting forest during twilight, and you have our Emerald Dusk look. Blending a captivating mix of deep purples, lilac-infused silvers, and striking greens, this shadow style features a duochrome finish and winged liner effect for your most flourishing eye look yet.
Step 1: Create a cut crease
Start by applying our Eye Base to create a flawless canvas for your look. Next, grab your Botanical palette and apply the shade Eggplant to your crease, blending it out with shades Bramble and Clay.
Step 2: Soften the inner corner
Apply the shade Clay to your inner corner and buff out to soften any harsh lines. Layer the shade Seamoss on top to brighten the area, seamlessly blending the colours together.
Step 3: Create a gradient wing
To create a gradient wing, start by applying the shade Eggplant to the outer corner, shaping it into a wing. Next, blend shade Clay slightly inward to soften the transition between the two colours. Finally, apply the shade Seamoss toward the inner part of the wing. Use a clean brush to diffuse any harsh lines to create a smooth, gradient effect.
Step 4: Add dimension with shimmer
Apply the shade Waterfall to the centre of the lid to add dimension and brightness. Next, carefully swipe it in the gap between the cut crease and the wing to create a contrasted effect.
Step 5: Define your lower lash line and add mascara
For added definition, press the shade Ivy along the lower lash line. Blend this out with shade Surf to create a soft, shimmery effect. Complete the look with our High-Key Volume Mascara for the ultimate finishing touch.
How to create the Honeysuckle Heat look
Turn up the temperature with our Honeysuckle Heat look, a fiery combination of warm orange and brown tones that reflect the glow of blooming honeysuckles at sunset. Blending subtle matte tones with vibrant shimmers, it’s perfect for bringing a natural, golden-hour glow to your look.
Step 1: Define your crease
After prepping your eyes with our Eye Base, take the shade Dune and buff it into your crease, blending up to your brow bone.
Step 2: Add a pop of orange
To give your look some dimension and colour, take shade Seamoss and apply to the inner and outer corner of your crease.
Step 3: Create depth
For extra depth, add the shade Clay to your crease, again focusing on the inner and outer corners. Bring the same shade across your lower lash line before blending it out.
Step 4: Give it some glow
For a warm, shimmery effect, sweep the shade Canyon over the centre of your eyes. Top this with the shade Savanna to make the shimmer stand out even more.
Step 5: Highlight your inner corner and add mascara
Add the shade Savanna to your inner corners to create the effect of bigger, brighter eyes. Next, apply 2-3 coats of our High-Key Volume Mascara for root-to-tip drama.
