KEY POINTS:
Sometimes it's time for a change and one of the best ways is to buy a set of new colours, rather than sticking to the same old favourite shades. But you must vow to try them all to get your money's worth - and to break out of your comfort zone.
1 Elizabeth Arden Colour Intrigue Eyeshadow/Cheekcolour kit $59
Three subtle eyeshadows and a natural-looking blush make this a handy anytime set. You'll need a bigger brush for applying the blush, but for eyeshadows you're covered.
From Elizabeth Arden stockists.
2 Estee Lauder Signature Eyeshadow Quad in Berry Quartz $74
The soft pinkish tones work wonderfully for everyday and blended together with the mauve-brown will make for a more intense eye.
From Estee Lauder stockists.
3 Clinique Colour Surge Eyeshadow Trio in Ebb and Flow $56
Cool tones that range from a barely there sweep of silver or teal to an intense stormy eyescape.
From Clinque stockists.
4 Bobbi Brown Pink Raspberry Face Palette $155
Good for travelling (but pack brushes), this kit for cooler tones has two berry lip sheers, a rather pink blusher for that fresh flushed look, and two neutral shadows.
From Smith & Caughey.
