I’m tired of seeing the same palettes being raved on about over and over again on my IG feed. It seems as if the beauty industry keeps shoving the same products down our throats, so I decided to create a list of 12 eyeshadow palettes that deserve love. These are all versatile and can be used for a dark and dramatic look or for something more everyday appropriate. Make sure you comment your favorite down below. Enjoy!
1. Morphe 35N Color Matte Eyeshadow Palette
The Morphe 35N is a peachy warm toned dream. I find myself using the peaches in this palette a ton… Kylie who????
2. NYX Warm Neutrals Ultimate Shadow Palette
If ever you feel like treating yourself to something new and don’t want to splurge, try the NYX Warm Neutrals palette. The colors in this resemble the ones that seem to be ‘trendy’ within higher end brands.
This one is an essential for those who don’t really know where to start but want to slowly get into the habit of wearing eyeshadow. It’s a great starter kit.
4. Tartellete Clay Matte Eyeshadow Palette
I find myself using this palette every single day. You’ll use at least one shade in here daily, I promise!
5. Too Faced Neutral Eyes Palette
The Too Faced Neutral Eyes Palette makes a great gift for the ones who are looking to start somewhere. You can’t go wrong with these browns and warm tones.
6. Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette
Aside from Kat Von D Beauty’s popular Shade + Light contour kit, the collection also includes an eyeshadow palette that many forget about. Don’t sleep on this one! It has all the colors essential for an everyday look.
7. Lorac Unzipped Gold Eyeshadow Palette
No matter what your skin color is, a gold eye will always make you look popping. Use this one for an everyday look or to spice things up for a more date night ensemble.
For some reason, nobody ever hypes up Lorac in general. The brand has a variety of different eyeshadow palettes that are available in department stores like Kohl’s, and beauty stores like Ulta.
9. Cargo Cosmetics “You Had Me at Aloha”
I received this one as a gift from my sister this May, and already I’m hitting pan on the transition shades and the shimmers. I use the shimmers as a highlight, and yes, YOU CAN USE EYESHADOW AS HIGHLIGHT.
10. Morphe Brushes 35K Koffee Palette
A perfect palette for those who aren’t afraid to play with darker colors. This palette has the perfect shades for a quick and easy smokey eye if you’re feeling a little dramatic.
11. Buxom Pastel Persuasion Palette
And, for those who prefer lighter shades, this one’s for you.
12. Juvia’s Place Saharan Palette
I had to end this list with this beauty from Juvia’s Place. If you haven’t heard of Juvia’s Place by now, get your head outta the gutter! Just look at that color scheme.
