Every year, makeup brands release thousands of new products and 2017 was no exception. With countless possible color combinations, it is no surprise that brands strive to create the best must-have eyeshadow palettes. Although there were many contenders, here are the top 5 eyeshadow palettes of 2017! 

1. Too Faced Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Palette ($49) Due to the teasers released by the Too Faced Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer Jerrod Blandino in winter of 2016, this palette was easily the most anticipated release of 2017. With 18 shades of peach-scented shadows consisting mostly of pinks and browns, this palette lived up to the hype!  

2. Tarte Tartelette Toasted Eyeshadow Palette ($46) It is no secret that Tarte creates some of the best makeup products in the beauty world and their eyeshadow palettes are usually a hit. This warm-toned palette quickly became our favorite when it arrived just in time for the cozy fall and winter season of 2017.

3. Urban Decay Naked Heat Eyeshadow Palette ($54) Catering to the obsession of warm-tone eyeshadow palettes in 2017, Urban Decay released this beauty that not only contains the perfect shades for a hot smokey eye, but makes every look achievable with their famous buttery, pigmented formula. 

4. Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Eyeshadow Palette ($65) After claiming to discontinue her popular Rose Gold palette, Huda Beauty released this palette to compensate. Made up of duochromes and mattes that are perfect for day-to-night looks, it quickly became a fan favorite.
