Ranking My Favorite Eyeshadow Palettes

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Lasell chapter.

Eyeshadow is one of the most fun and exciting parts of my makeup routine. It allows for so much creativity as there are endless colors and textures to experiment with. Whether you shop at a drugstore or from high-end brands, there is a multitude of options and color palettes that can suit you. Keep reading to see what my all-time favorite palettes are:

  1. Too Faced Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Palette: For $49.00, this palette is the perfect addition to anyone’s makeup collection. Not only does it smell amazing, but the eyeshadows blend very well together. The color variety is perfect for any skin tone, and the eyeshadows are very pigmented with some matte shades as well as shimmers. There’s something for everyone in this palette! 

  2. The Burgundy Palette Kyshadow by Kylie Cosmetics: I am all for warm colors when it comes to eyeshadow and this plate encompasses some of my absolute favorite colors to wear. This is a nine-shadow palette consisting of matte, metallic, and satin shades that sells for a retail price of $42.00. The texture of these shadows is very smooth and quite pigmented, so it’s super easy for anyone to create the perfect look. 

  3. Makeup Revolution X Friends Palette – Phoebe: As a lover of the television show Friends, this palette was a must in my makeup collection. The shade names all correspond to the character Phoebe and other phrases related to the show. Makeup Revolution did make other palettes for Rachel and Monica, but this one is my favorite of the three. For $15.00, this nine-pan palette is perfect for any 90s inspired look.
