UK indie favourite Arttitude Cosmetics is expanding its Metallic Shimmer Shadow Singles with four new shades: 24 Carat, Gilded, Rose Foam and Nectar. They launch on 9 October 2026 and join the brand's existing silver, Starlight. The result is a five-shade line-up of golds, pinks and silver in magnetic pans, designed so you can build your own custom palette.

What's New in the Shimmer Shadow Line-Up
The four new shades split into two warm families:
- Two golds: 24 Carat and Gilded
- Two rosy pinks: Rose Foam and Nectar
Together with Starlight, an intense true silver, they make a coordinated set for anyone who loves high-impact glam. In the brand's campaign images, the model holds a clear acrylic five-pan palette filled with the gold, pink and silver shades and wears a warm gold smoky eye. The look suggests how well these shades work for evening and festive makeup.
The full collection will also be sold as a bundle containing all five shades and a magnetic eyeshadow palette. Arttitude has also asked followers whether they would want a separate bundle of only the four new shades. That option is not confirmed yet.
Why Foiled Shimmer Singles Are Worth a Look
Arttitude describes its shimmers as highly pigmented with a foiled formula that "looks like glitter, but performs like shadow." Other features include:
- Instant, intense sparkle that is designed to stay put all day
- Developed by make-up artists and suitable for all skin tones
- Magnetic iron pans that fit any universal 26mm palette, so you can mix them with shades you already own
How to Apply Metallic Shimmer Shadows
- For a softer finish: pat the shadow on with a dense flat brush.
- For maximum foil intensity: use your fingertip or a silicone applicator over a glitter primer.
- For a bolder look: layer the shimmer over a matte or cream base in a similar tone.
- For a gold smoky eye like the campaign look: blend a warm transition shade into the crease, then press gold shimmer onto the centre of the lid.
Build Your Own Magnetic Palette
To store your singles, the Empty Magnetic Acrylic Palette (with lid) holds five 26mm pans and costs £11.99. It has a snap-on lid, pin holes underneath for popping shades out, and a peel-off protective film. Buy the lidless version if you want to stack several palettes, then keep one lidded palette for the top of the stack. This setup suits make-up artists on the go as well as collectors.
