Grounded in nature, The Body Shop's Down to Earth Eye Palette embodies effortless beauty. I've tested the Moonrise variant extensively—its gray tones paired with soft pink deliver a sophisticated, everyday appeal that's perfect for brown eyes like mine.

The Body Shop offers several Down to Earth Eye Palette variations, and I've personally tested the Moonrise edition—a name as evocative as its shades. With my brown eyes, the grayscale options create depth and drama effortlessly.
The Moonrise shades include:
These hues draw from earth's natural palette. Moonrise features 4 shades (3 shimmer, 1 matte), while other variants offer up to 8. Shimmer adds luminous appeal, though it can subtly accentuate fine lines on mature skin—still irresistible for that lit-from-within glow.
Crafted for multiple styles, Moonrise excels: blend Oudrose with Matte gray for a soft, romantic look; layer the grays for an almond-shaped enhancement; or mix all four for my favorite smoky eye.
Ideal for beginners, instructions on the back make application foolproof.
Fully vegan and enriched with marula, babassu, and sesame oils for nourished lids. Here's a closer look:
Sourced ethically from a women-led cooperative in Namibia, marula oil (also known as maroela) is cold-pressed from fruit seeds. It soothes, hydrates, and packs antioxidants for skin health. Learn more at Beautylab.
Fun fact: Local lore claims it intoxicates wildlife. Watch this: https://youtu.be/50tlF3kGbT4
Harvested from Brazilian babassu palm nuts, this oil deeply nourishes without greasiness. Common in skincare, it's also culinary-grade.
Rich in omega-6 fatty acids, sesame oil supports skin from within and out—versatile for both beauty and wellness routines.
Pigmentation is buildable and blendable, ideal for busy mornings—color payoff in minutes. The sleek compact boasts a large mirror, perfect for travel, though it lacks an applicator.
Available at The Body Shop stores and online.
