Eyeshadow pallets are a must for anyone who loves creating makeup looks. There are millions of them out there, but not all are worthy of praise. And these days, a good eyeshadow pallet is essential. It can be hard to find a good pallet that will meet every one of your needs. Fortunately for you, we’ve got ten must-haves that will sure to meet every one of your expectations!
ColourPop has bound to be one of the best makeup brands there is. But then again, I am biased. Not only is the brand highly affordable, but their products are some of the best I have ever tried. The “Yes, Please!” pallet has all of the essentials for a natural every day look with its brown neutral shades but also has the ability to create a peachy summer glam look with its yellows, oranges, and highly buttery golden shimmer shades.

This pallet was birthed to life after James Charles himself partnered with the infamous brand Morphe, and I’m eternally grateful that it happened. This pallet is probably the most versatile out there, with shades that range from every color of brown you need for a smoky eye to neon blues, pinks, purples, and greens. Not to mention the most pigmented red shade on the market. At least that is what I’ve been told, and after using it, I can certainly say that fact has some truth to it. This pallet is for those who either want to do a natural light eyeshadow look or for anyone who wants to stun the makeup world with their glamorous creations.

Anastasia Beverly Hills pallets’ are more on the pricier side, but if you are looking to upgrade to a higher quality pallet you can use every day, then I would highly recommend this one. While the pallet specifically says it is made for a “soft” glam, it is not hard to create a runway-inspired masterpiece on your eyelids if you happen to be going to a fancy dinner party that night.

This pallet is for all you Harry Potter lovers out there. If you aren’t already sold by the beautiful spell-book inspired packaging, then the eyeshadows inside should make you reconsider. With the richest of colors imaginable, these eyeshadows are made to create some of the most magical makeup looks out there. With shades names such as “broomstick”, “charms”, and “sorcerer” this pallet was created for those that want to be bewitched by rich pigmentation.

Everyone loves a little bit of gold, but this pallet is for everyone who simply adores it. “Good as Gold” is perfect for anyone going out on the town and want to be nothing less than eye-catching. This pallet is also good for creating any NYE, Christmas, or St. Patrick’s Day look! That being said, this pallet will make it a tad bit harder to create a natural neutral look, so if that is what you are looking for, I’d stray away from this one. If you are looking for anything but that, then give this one a go. You won’t regret it!

“The Magic Mini” is for those that are on the go but still need to pull off a jaw-dropping glam look in a matter of minutes. The pigmentation for every one of these shades is off the charts. A single dip into this eyeshadow pallet and your brush or finger will be covered completely. This pallet is also extremely portable, hence it being called “the mini.” With versatile colors that will fit everyone’s needs, this pallet is worth the price of only 25 dollars!

Classy, sexy, and all around-fun. Kylie Jenner has been killing the makeup game since the release of her lip kits, and her eyeshadow pallets are just as good. The “You’re So Money Baby” has nine metallics and seven mattes that were designed for anyone who wants to recreate one of the many birthday looks created on Kylie Jenner herself. While this pallet seems like a scary upgrade from an every day neutral pallet, it’s also surprisingly wearable for a night-in as well.

Nothing beats an eyeshadow pallet that looks and smells amazing. The second you open this pallet, you’ll be greeted with a pleasant sweet scent of peaches, and if that alone doesn’t make you want to use this pallet, then the creamy rich shades sure will. I know for me personally this pallet is all I wore during spring, summer, and fall when it first came out, and even today it is still one of my go-to’s. And thankfully, the scent still remains even after hitting the bottom of the pan.

The conspiracy pallet had one of the biggest launches in all of 2019. Even after months after the initial release, this pallet is still sold-out worldwide, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pre-order it for when it is back in stock. While the colors are more on the outlandish side than the rest of the pallets listed here, that is kind of the point. This pallet is made for true makeup lovers out there that want nothing more than to get creative with their brushes. It’s also vegan and cruelty-free, and who doesn’t love that?
