THE CULTURE COSMETICS
400 Years Eyeshadow Palette
founding edition
400 Years is more than an eyeshadow palette, it’s beauty with intention.
Created to honor the strength, resilience, and brilliance carried across generations, this palette reflects a journey that spans continents, cultures, and time. Inspired by the global African diaspora and the enduring spirit that connects us across oceans and generations, each shade tells a story of beginnings, triumph, royalty, and heritage.
From New Beginning to Motherland, from The Atlantic to Dynasty, every color carries intention. Bold, high impact pigments glide on smoothly with a buildable, blendable finish, allowing you to create everything from soft everyday elegance to powerful statement making looks.
Housed in a book style design and centered with an empowering message, 400 Years serves as a daily reminder that your story is layered, your beauty is inherited, and your expression is limitless.
This palette isn’t just about how you look, it’s about how you feel when you wear it.
Wear your story. Create with purpose.

How to wear it
The 400 Years Palette was designed for versatility whether you’re creating a soft everyday look or a bold statement moment.
Use the matte shades to build depth and definition, then layer the shimmer shades onto the center of the lid or inner corner to add dimension and light.
The richly pigmented formulas blend smoothly and build beautifully, allowing you to create everything from subtle looks to full artistry with ease no primer required.
Wear the shades alone for a minimal look or blend multiple tones together to create looks that reflect your mood, confidence, and individuality.
For even more intensity, apply shimmer shades with your fingertip for a luminous finish.
There are no rules only expression. Wear your power your way.
