I am somewhat of an eye shadow hoarder! But I just love all the different colors and textures of the shadows and how they can bring a person’s eyes to life! When I do either myself or someone else’s makeup, I am always thinking of a particular color or shade I want to use. And I know exactly what palette to find it in! It can be difficult for me at times to stick to just one palette when doing a makeup look! But today I thought I would share with you my most reached for eye shadow palettes!
1. Mac Cosmetics Eye Shadow Palette- What I love about my Mac palette is that I was able to hand pick each color that went into the palette. I was able to go to the Mac store in NYC and look at all the shadows in person. As I am sure you know, Mac shadows are some of the best on the market, but they are a little on the pricey side! Some shades I have in my palette are soft brown, texture, amber lights, wedge, handwritten, wood winked, sable, all that glitters, brule, shroom, honey lust, and carbon.
2. Urban Decay Naked Palette– This is a classic item in the beauty world and one of the most well known eye shadow palette out there! It definitely owns up to the hype, mostly because of the pigmented and wearable colors it contains. I grab this palette when I don’t want to think about my makeup. It is so easy for me to create an “everyday look” with these shadows. If I am in a hurry, I normally use the shades sin, naked, sidecar, and buck.
3. Lorac Pro Palette– Another staple in the beauty community, this palette has created a big name for itself. The biggest reason that I love it is because it contains so many matte eye shadows! The top row is complete matte shades and the bottom row is shimmery colors. I love the diversity in this palette, but how the colors are still very neutral and wearable. And of course the pigmentation (color pay off) is to die for! You only need a little color on your brush and the product goes a long way!
4. Z Palette– This is another palette were I was able to choose my own shades. As I have talked about in a previous post, I love that this magnetic palette gives you the ability to pick out your own shadows and rearrange them as you please! I have Makeup Geek and Morphe Eye shadows in my Z palette. I cannot even begin to explain how often I used these extremely affordable shadows!
5. Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette– First and foremost, this palette smells incredible! Who wouldn’t want to smell chocolate every time they do their makeup?! But besides the intoxicating smell, the shadows are so pigmented! This palette has every shade of brown a girl could need! I definitely reach for this palette for all the neutral browns it offers!
