Eye shadow palettes are seriously good value for money… that is if you get the right palette. The perfect palette should contain a combination of soft, buttery and highly pigmented eye shadows that vary from mattes, satins and sparkles. Look for something that you know you will get the best use out of, something that helps you bring a nice soft daytime look to a dramatic, smoky eye for a night on the town.
Whether you’re a beginner finding yourself and gradually learning about makeup, or someone who channels their inner beauty guru, these are the eye shadow palettes you need to invest in.

Urban Decay Naked
Urban Decay is famous for their collection of Naked palettes, and there is so many reasons why. The palette has a selection of twelve full-sized eye shadows that are of the highest of quality. The original is my favorite. The palette is a classic and every makeup lover’s must-have. The palette is suitable for all eye colors with a perfect range of matte and shimmers neutral shadows. While it can be classed as a more expensive palette, it’s worth your pennies because you will get every use from it!

Morphe Eye shadow Palettes
Morphe are renowned for their eye shadow palettes and their variation of colors. I specially didn’t pick just one to recommend because there is a palette of thirty-five colors to match everyone’s taste. If you prefer warmer toned eye shadows to compliment your blue eyes, opt for the 350 or 35F. For green and brown colored eyes, opt for a cool toned palette to enhance your eye color like the 35K. It is filled with cool toned browns, charcoal and beautiful silver colors. Each palette retails at €25.20, you cannot go wrong!
We hope this gives you a craving to invest in some well-needed eye shadows for your makeup collection! If you find some eye shadow palette that you are drooling over, search some online reviews and YouTube videos to see if it’s worth your money!
