20 of the best eyeshadow palettes and creamy eyeshadows

how to apply eyeshadow

Your eye shape will dictate which technique and brushes work best for you, but there are a few rules of thumb for putting all your eyeshadow looks together.

1. Keep the lighter shade towards the inner corner of the eye and the darker shade towards the outer corner.
2. The darker the shade you choose, the more smoky and noticeable the look. It’s entirely up to you, so you can try several different looks until you find the one you like best.
3. It’s become popular in recent years to keep shimmery shades on your eyelids and blend matte shades in your creases, but as far as we’re concerned, all bets are off ;).

glitter eyeshadow

Qing Beauty You’re So Chic Eyeshadow Palette ($45, was $60)

This colorful palette has 117 (!!) colors that you can mix and match to create a different look every day as needed. I like that it has a rainbow panel and a neutral panel.

Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Eyeshadow Palette ($53)

Color your holiday party with mature and romantic shades that give off a feminine glow. You can cover the entire eyelid, apply a little to the outer corner of the eye, or use a thin brush to apply it like an eyeliner.

Urban Decay 24/7 Moondust Eyeshadow ($22)

This multi-colored glitter shadow has bits of green and red that make it look nothing like a walking Christmas ornament.

eyeshadow palettes under $40

Salut Paris Eyeshadow Palette ($10)

Besides the fact that it features multiple shades of pink, there are plenty of green flags in this palette. It is cruelty-free, oil-free, and fragrance-free.

Sigma Beauty Ivy Eyeshadow Palette ($29)

We are obsessed with the different shades of green in this palette. In particular, I plan to use darker shades for the holidays and lighter shades for spring…or switch things up and do things differently around that ;).

liquid eyeshadow

Elf Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow ($6)

elf is one of those brands you can’t get enough of, and their quick-drying liquid shadows are shimmery and pigmented and very easy to apply.

Glossy Skywash ($18)

If you prefer something more understated, we recommend this glossy liquid eyeshadow. It’s buildable depending on how bold you want to go, but it’s also a very easy and subtle way to add color.

Lottie London Color Cloud ($7)

If you’re looking for an affordable liquid matte eyeshadow, check out this pick from Lottie London. Contains not only vivid color, but also vitamin E, argan and jojoba oil.

all matte eyeshadow palette

I love that this eyeshadow palette contains a variety of neutral colors. It looks great on any skin tone and allows you to incorporate a variety of light and dark tones into the same look.

Beauty Bay Bright Matte Palette ($25)

Create all kinds of art with this eyeshadow palette. With 42 colors, you can create almost any matte look without needing a separate palette.

Thrive Causemetics Focus Eyeshadow Palette ($36)

This is a great palette for those who stick to the basics, and the semi-permanent micropigmentation technology keeps shadows on your lids all day (or night).
