If you’re into beauty- you know an eyeshadow palette is every beauty guru’s guilty pleasure – with so many to choose from, it’s hard not to splash out and buy as many as possible. The problem with this, of course, is that often you end up spoilt for choice, having used all your savings. So, to help all palette-addicted gurus (like me), I have complied a definitive list of every eyeshadow palette a beauty guru needs – all for under £30, so you can peruse these cheap eyeshadow palettes without wondering if it will break the bank.
A true staple of any beauty guru’s makeup bag, the neutral palette is a must-have for creating understated, yet still gorgeous, daytime looks. Revlon’s Passionate Nudes palette is perfect for this – it contains multiple neutral tones yet also pairs them with a couple of brights and even some shimmery shades to create a versatile palette that can take you from day to night without being too colourful.
When you hit the town, or are just feeling a little bold, a smokey eye goes a long way, which is why it’s vital to have a smokey palette you can trust in. Maybelline’s The Rock Nudes is the perfect smokey palette as its shade range doesn’t just include grey, black and white – it also has a cuple of wild card like the awesome glittery blue or the golden shimmery shade. With this palette, it is easy to create a range of smokey looks, not just your traditional grey/black smokey eye.
There are some days where an understated eye look just won’t do and on those days it is vital to have a reliable brights palette to create a look as vibrant as you feel on the inside. Revolution’s Defiant palette contains an amazing range of brights, from blues to golds to purples, as well as a couple of dark shades. This brights palette is amazing for creating vivid eye looks, as well as making slightly darker looks too, which means that this palette can be one you return back to multiple times.
Rose gold had its moment in the fashion world, and it’s soft, golden-pink shades have left a mark on our hearts and our makeup bags. Having a romantic rose gold palette is perfect for spring and summer days, first dates and other special occasions. The VIP palette from Revolution’s Life On The Dance Floor range is aptly name as with it’s gorgeous golds and rosy pinks, you’re sure to feel like a VIP with the rose gold looks that can be created.
When the colder weather hits and the leaves start turning orange, all of use want to start bundling up and turn to warmer, deeper shades than golden bronzes and the brights of summer. An autumnal palette is a must-have for this transitional season. Nyx’s Warm Neutrals palette is perfect for this, with a range of shades from light, shimmery pinks to deep, matte burgundy
Everyone needs a pop pf sparkle in their makeup bag, be it for festival season, Christmas, Halloween or even for that special night out. The Revolution Pro refills are gorgeously sprakly, and the fact that you can put them in a magnetic palette means you are free to buy other glitter refills and create your own glitter palette, to suit the shades that compliment you most.
