The colours in this palette are so pretty sometimes I just open it up and look at them. Yeah, weird. Gorgeous formulation, long-lasting and so wearable. Very glad I made this purchase. Fantastic selection of beautiful colours.

Wow! I was very impressed with this palette, the staying power of the colors was incredible. I had originally picked this out because I wanted a safer green shadow option but I have fallen in love with the other shades too! Very versatile, can't wait to try other palettes
Lindsay S.
I LITERALLY cannot say enough about this pallet!! I get SO many compliments every single time I wear this! The eyeshadows go on so smoothly, and they stay on all day without creasing!! I’ve never been so in love with eyeshadow before this pallet!

Joshua Tree Pallet!!! It is really rare for me to review anything; I mean to review and I just forget. But this pallet deserves a review! My make up routine is to wear tinted moisturizer, mascara, and lip gloss. When it comes to eyeshadow I buy it in cream form so I dont have to worry about blending, which I have no idea how to do. I bought the rose quartz, summer solstice, amethyst, and crystal grid during the holidays and I had skipped Joshua tree thinking that you had to be a pro to use that one. It went on sale and I got the notification and started reading the reviews And alot of people states great for beginners and only pallet I need. So then I was like well I need this and it last 4 years so I got time to figure it out. Again I have no idea how to apply eye shadow but I am having so much fun learning with this pallet. Its the only thing I want to use. My hubby will say you look so beautiful today and it's because this is new, fun and exciting way to now play up my eyes. I was so scared of the bright rainbow colors that this is what looks best on me. I have blonde hair, hazel eyes, light skin and orange freckles for reference too. I do love the other pallets as well, however, Joshua Tree is my favorite and the one I reach for first. My second go to is Summer Soltice. Now I am eyeing the quad pallets, check pallet and pure highlighter!! Aether Beauty is now my favorite and I just discovered them.

I fell in love with matte pallettes about a year ago but this one was on my wish list for a while. It's so rich and pigmented and I love the ethos of this brand and the commitment to the environment. I will hit pan on probably every shade.

This is my third palette from Aether. I bought the Rose Quartz Crystal and the Amethyst Crystal palettes. I had no intention of buying this one until I felt how creamy the palletes were. I decided I needed them all. This palette is just as beautiful as the other two. I can't wait for the Summer Solstice palette to come back into stock! ❤️
Sherree G.
Great mattes with good color depth on my warm tan complexion. I bought this palette to compliment all my other Aether Beauty palettes, and love it!
Abigale F.
This is my second palette from Āether Beauty. The pigment is phenomenal, honestly my jaw dropped when I started to use my new Joshua Tree palette. Quality ingredients are my main focus and I LOVE everything this brand stands for. 10/10. Will definitely be making another purchase soon!
Caroline A.
It’s really, really good. If you’re feeling hesitant, I’d honestly encourage you to go for it. This is the best clean beauty eyeshadow formula on the market, and even if it wasn’t, you aren’t going to find these colors in other clean beauty palettes. The color theory is just seriously genius, and if you are zero waste like me, this is the perfect option for not burning clean makeup that looks like it could be an artistry brand.
Kathryn W.
Absolutely love this palette! Super soft and incredibly blendable. Far more pigmented than I thought it would be and I really love the diverse colors! Super happy with the minimal packaging.
sandra k.
Beautiful color pay off and the packaging is amazing! Thanks for being so eco conscious and giving a great product
Kimberly W.
This palette was an unexpected gem. I always want to wear colors but get intimidated. These colors are so wearable, user friendly, and the color story works well. This palette is such a treat!
Marsha P.
Absolutely love my palette! Beautiful colors!! Great application!
(me) ky w.
absolutely blown away! i’m a makeup artist and a black woman and i was worried it wouldn’t be enough pigment but it’s soooo pigmented and easy to use. going to get another one to add to my pro kit.
stephanie V.
This is a beautiful palette! A work of fart. I love the colors. They are so pretty and vibrant. The eyeshadow goes on nicely. I highly recommend!
Stephanie N.
This has quickly become my favorite eyeshadow palette. This is a 12 pan all matte palette that is infused with organic coconut oil + shea butter. Between the absolutely gorgeous color story + the quality of the shadow formula I constantly have been reaching for this palette since I got it. The shadows are rich in pigment but blend so seamlessly with hardly any work, making the application not only quicker but easier. Not only is the application user-friendly, but these shadows stay on all day long. I typically wear my makeup for 10hrs 5-6 days of the week + my eyes always look amazing still by the end of the day. I am constantly inspired by this palette. Especially for an all matte palette, there are truly endless options for looks to create from neutral to colorful or everyday to bold.
Sierra C.
I LOVE this palette. I bought it because I wanted more vibrant colors. At first I was ironically intimidated by how pigmented the colors look in person but I was very happy to find that the colors blend beautifully and naturally on my olive toned skin. Aether undoubtedly makes some of the best, if not the best, clean eyeshadow on the market.
Amy
So impressed by this palette!! LOVE the colors and they blend so well!! This was my first purchase from Aether Beauty and I will definitely be buying more in the future! 100% worth the money, and I love that this brand is low waste!
Rebecca J.
The pigmentation of the shadows is nothing but impressive. Diverse and vibrant colors that pair together in unexpected and beautiful ways make putting on makeup like an adventure. On top of that, the attention to detail in the packaging, both with its aesthetics and commitment to being environmentally conscious leaves me feeling confident that Aether beauty is a brand that can be trusted and cares.
Soumya S.
All lovely colours. Happy that i found it
Soumya S.
Highly pigmented, amazed to see all beautiful colours in this palette. Highly recommend
Barbara M.
Great colors with plenty of pigment and blends well
Kate C.
Truly clean beauty and super high performance with stunning pigment- and actual gemstones in. I mean..!
I just got the Joshua Tree palette and Supernova highlighter and I am blown away!! I’ve heard about Aether from MUA Katey Denno and others, and I can see why they are such devotees- this makeup is extraordinary! I have had all kinds of makeup experiences, but having truly clean beauty with such an extraordinary level of performance is amazing.
Kylie G.
I am in love with this palette! I'm an all matte kind of gal so I knew I would like it but it has exceeded my expectations by a long shot! It blends beautiful, the color payoff is wonderful, the ingredients are SO good and skin friendly especially around the sensitive eye area. All of the colors are beautiful and over all I love and appreciate all this company stands for. I couldn't be happier with my purchase! Thank you Aether Beauty
Ashley L.
This is the most amazing palette for brown eyes! I’ve never had something that compliments my dark eyes like this with my pale olive complexion. Thank god this palette was made. It’s my new holy grail
Dania A.
I've always been more a fan of matte makeup so loved seeing this palette available. Some of the colors are a little too vivid for me, but they're still fun to play with. They feel very buttery and smooth, but on the lid they are a tad bit drying and tug a little. Like with other Aether palettes, there is a lot of fallout so I suggest applying this eye shadow first in your routine and then cleaning up the under eye area well before starting the rest of your makeup. Overall, the color payoff is strong but it does fade by the end of the day, while ironically kind of staining. For example, I had double cleansed with an oil cleanser at night and used castor oil on my lashes overnight and the next morning when cleaning, the eye shadow remnants showed up on the cotton pad when wiping. (I was wearing the yellow & gold shades so under the night lighting I guess it wasn't as apparent that some residue was still there.) All in all, still a great palette and with decent longevity (probably better than the Aether palettes in my opinion). If you're a fan of popping matte colors, this is for you!
Stacey S.
These colors blend so gorgeously and are perfectly and potently pigmented like I had hoped!!
Katryna C.
This palette is really nice! They apply very smooth and blend easily. I wish they would come out with a jumbo palette of just matte shades.
Megan
I’m a makeup novice and haven’t ever spent more than a few dollars on any eyeshadow before. This palette is an absolute DREAM! Sometimes too much sparkle accentuates my fine lines, so I really appreciate the matte finish. Now I want to wear these rich, beautiful, blendable colors every day!
Molly D.
I finally decided to purchase the Joshua Tree Desert Matte Palate and I absolutely love it! I prefer matte eyeshadows and this set is perfect! There’s so many ways to use it and the colors blend so well!
I especially love the color Agave; I’ve been looking a long time for a teal color to use as an eyeliner (as I did in the ‘80s ). If you’ve been hesitant to get the Joshua Tree, don’t be — every color is beautiful and so worth it!
SONIA S.
Hi , I am a makeup enthusiast . I dont know how to use most of the makeup I buy .
I am still learning .
When i do click a photo ,i will send you one for sure.
I lovel the pallette as well as the
Yellow diamond highlighter
Belinda P.
This palette is a MUST HAVE! The color pigmentations are so vibrant, but yet they are so easy to blend. You can have a soft look or create a look that’s more vibrant and dramatic. I’ve had trouble in the past with eyeshadow breaking out my eyelids. No worries here! Thanks for such a fun and clean product.
Madeline A.
This is a great palette. The colors are long lasting and highly pigmented. I really like the colors Aether chose for this one too, they are unique and I haven’t seen other palettes around that offer a similar color selection.
Theresa R.
The pigmentation of this palette is breathtaking! I've never worked with shades as rich and bold as these before. Usually such bold shades- whether clean beauty or not- are patchy or need tons of building. But not these. These blend like a dream!
Alexa
I absolutely love the colors in this palette! I found these mattes to be super fun and easy to work with. The pigmentation is lovely, and they apply wonderfully! Also, as always, I love, love, love the packaging and design as well! I truly cannot wait to use this palette more!
Jessica P.
As always, stellar power, pigment, texture, performance and packaging. I get compliments every time I wear aether and am always recommending the palettes as my fave eye shadows in the world of clean beauty. I'm a die hard aether fan and I absolutely love all the work they are doing to support BLM and diminish climate change.
Neha S.
Wow!! Amazing pigmentation. Love the colour scheme. My go to palette to create any look, warm, grungy, colourful, and neutral. Love it!!! Would highly recommend!
Phoebe S.
I love this palette! I also love everything that this brand stands for. I have been looking for an all matte palette that has the same values as me. I also lived in Phoenix for school and I love supporting a local business. I’m planning on bring this on my vacation. It’s perfect for an everyday look.
Tyler C.
I've been waiting for an all mattes palette, and this one is GORGEOUS. The colors are fun and the pigment pay off is true to all of the other palettes of the brand. I'm hoping to see more matte palettes like this. Real talk though: if y'all make a blue high lighter, I would DIE.
Mallory S.
I bought this palette for the theme and color scheme. The shades beautifully reflect the inspiration drawn from the Mojave Desert, and I’m very glad the money from this goes to support this cause. It was my first time trying anything from this brand, and the shadows are unlike anything I’ve used before. They are the butteriest mattes I’ve ever used, and they’re pigmented and blend gorgeously. I also love the sustainable packaging. I wish more palettes would use the elastic and ditch the magnets as well. I think that was brilliant. My one complaint, though, is the price. This palette was considerably smaller than I expected, and the pan sizes kind of threw me. For a $58 price point, I was expecting a little bit more.
E. Nicole
I love that FINALLY we have a clean beauty company that provides highly pigmented colors, creamy formulations, and beautiful packaging. Other pallets are either too ashy, fades away after an hour, or to pale or neutral to be distinguished from each other. Thanks Aether Beauty! Keep them coming❤️
Maggie T.
This is the best colorful matte eyeshadow palette in the beauty world. It has spectacular ingredients, beautiful pigment and wear, and zero-waste packaging. What's not to love about this palette? The color story in this palette spoke to me immediately. I love that Tiila always offers a unique take on color and isn't shy of it! As a lover of colorful eye looks, I can create so many looks out of just this palette. It even has my perfect brow powder match (New Moon)! I also own the Crystal Grid Gemstone palette and am so happy to have both shimmer and matte palettes. They're the perfect complement to one another. I'm incredibly delighted to have this palette in my life!
Rachel R.
I love love love this palette. Tumbleweed is my perfect color I've been searching for for years, and also pixie rock and citrine I will be so sad when I eventually use those up. I've been wearing citrine so much since I got it! Great quality and the undertones of this palette are so fair-olive skin hazel eyes friendly in a way most other things are not!
Monique S.
I really love this palette-they are so smooth and easy to blend! I am trying to try different colors and these are so pretty! Thank you for making an all matte, shiny shadows can make my eyelids look dry, and this is just what I needed.THANK YOU!
Whitney G.
I love the shades and formula of this palette! Easy to use and works well with my beige undertone.
Christine G.
This matte palette not only has a beautiful color story but the quality of color is spectacular. Each color is buttery and blends like a dream while being opaque in coverage. Shipping was fast!
Erin G.
Love the rich, saturated colors not only in the package but just as beautiful on your skin. Glides on so smooth and doesn't crease or fade. Best eyeshadow I've ever used
Ingrid S.
I treasure this palette so much! The powder is soo velvety to the touch and the colors are beautiful. This is the best matte palette I’ve ever had and I think every makeup lover should get it. Thank you Aether for this gem
Erin B.
This palette is KILLER! The only disappointment is that it's limited edition. PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING THIS PERMANENT!
Blythe P.
I hope this becomes a permanent item! At first, I was not sure how to use this palette, but I quickly learned that because they're muted colors, and all matte, I can create some bomb interesting everyday looks. I love the desert theme and the overall undertones!
Rachel
A beautiful color story that is even better in person. The photos don't do it justice! These are definitely the best mattes I've ever tried; they blend seamlessly, the darker colors aren't patchy at all, and can be worn in a myriad of ways. I was on the fence for sooo long about buying ABH Subculture but never bit the bullet because I knew it was a tricky palette to work with. The Joshua Tree palette is everything I wanted Subculture to be. I typically (pre-COVID) spend about 15-20 minutes doing my makeup in the morning before work and wanted the Subculture color story without the hassle of blending forever, JT offers the colors but instead is quick and easy to blend and use. Even for an all matte palette I feel like there's a lot of versatility. I'm in love with it!!
Alina Z.
Amazing texture, buttery application, gorgeous pigments. Perfect addition to any collection or on it's own
Elizabeth G.
Mattes blend like a dream and I love the color story
Rachel H.
Great quality and beautiful shades, created a neutral look and pinky/purple look. Look this companies standards and products!
Monica E.
Instantly fell in love with the colors, and with a palette of just matte shadows...
Sara A.
I haven't used it yet but it looks just as I hoped it would.

This is my first purchase from Aether! The color story is gorgeous and I love that it's an all matte palette because that is my eyeshadow preference. The shadows themselves perform well. As an avid eyeshadow user/collector, I would not put this in the top performing palettes I've tried, BUT it is a solid choice and anyone who loves beauty and wants a clean option I think will be happy with this. The pigmentation is light but buildable, although you won't get a super intense color payoff from these shadows. They're definitely good for more approachable colorful looks, if you're new to using shadow that isn't brown/neutral.
I love the story and will keep using it, since the shades suit my style and can be easily paired with shimmers from other products/palettes.
The product itself is well made and I love that the palette is entirely recyclable. It's sturdy and pretty enough to set out on your desk/vanity. I would be happy to travel with it!
Deirdra D.
Please make this a permanent item! This is my favorite color story in my collection! Also the quality is amazing! I have issues with eyeshadow creasing because I have very hooded eyelids. These have not creased! And lasted on my eyes for hours! I am going to use this palette until I hit pan on every shade. Haha it has quickly become one of my favorite palettes.
Amanda G.
Stunning colors! Blend like a dream. Highly recommended.
Kelli K.
Great palette, lovely colors, amazing formula. Highly recommend!
Sarah V.
This pallet is beyond stunning and the quality is incredibly high, opening the box was an experience of its own. I’m not a pro at makeup nor am I a brand new however I found this pallets color story to be very intuitive when putting together a look.
Michelle Terrazino
The eyeshadow color payoff is incredible, with a tiny bit of shimmer. I love that it is made with sustainability in mind! The packaging is incredible! Who would have thought you could make something sustainable and beautiful. Just Love the whole theme of the palette, Joshua Tree is a very special place and I’m happy that some of the money from this purchase is going towards preserving the Mojave. I use this palette with the crystal grid palette (which I purchased elsewhere) for some extra oomph.
Danielle S.
I was so excited to see a palette of highly pigmented mattes available from Aether Beauty. The colors look more cool toned/muted in the pan, but they are very vibrant and will complement both warm and cool skintones. They blend well together. There is a bit of kick up/fall out from this one so if you're applying with a brush, make sure you tap it before applying. I love the mission and the charitable contribution towards regrowing Joshua trees.
Hailey O.
I can’t get over how amazing this palette is! It feels practically weightless. It’s so pigmented and easily blend-able. It is my new favorite.
Ash
This is my new favorite matte palette. I’m Always on the look out for shadows with better ingredients + vegan that actually PERFORM. And this one is it. The color pay off on these is incredible, they blend easily, and wear great throughout the day! I’m
Sold. Can’t wait to try more products from this brand!
Riel Peers
the shades blend so perfectly and the pigment is gorgeous. i work with a lot of clean eyeshadows and this palette is by far the best!!
Silvia Fernandez
I love that Aether has finally come out with an all matte eyeshadow palette. The colors are awesome and they blend beautifully. I’ve had no allergic reactions in the short time using it. I couldn’t be happier....
Abigail Sitter
