Eyeshadow Palettes Are Over But These Are Ones You Do Need
We’re coming to the end of an era now. Eyeshadow Palettes seem to be a thing of the past and they feel very over. Will we see big eyeshadow palettes launching in the future? I dunno. Beauty and makeup trends come and go so in five or ten years eyeshadow palettes will make some major come back but right now it seems everyone is tired of them. I still have a special place in my heart for a good eyeshadow palette. Yes, I miss single shade launches but also, who doesn’t love a big old palette packed with tons of different shades. I can still find excitement in that. Six months ago Huda Beauty announced that this was their last big palette launch and they wouldn’t be doing them in the future.
Although, I have enough eyeshadow palettes to last me a lifetime I did buy one recently that I don’t regret and I know I’m going to make use of it all Summer long. At the moment I have four palettes on my hit mist that really are must haves.
Here are the eyeshadows palettes you really need to grab.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Spice Eye Palette $29
This little palette launched for Holiday 2025. I got it off Tiktok shop on a whim after seeing it on a Tiktok Live. I have nearly, since December, hit pan on one shade and I can see myself easily using up the others. I hope this is around for a while because I’ll absolutely repurchase it. These are the exact shades I reach for daily. It’s packed full of soft dune-like shades, lighter browns, darker browns, and just a hint of gold sparkle. It’s a perfect palette for daily use and I actually think it doesn’t get talked about nearly enough. If you like softer, romantic nudes this is for you!
Danessa Myricks Beauty Groundwork Blooming Romance and Defining Neutrals Palette For Eyes, Brows, Face & Lips $65
When Danessa introduced Groundwork Defining Neutrals I was an instant naysayer over it. Why release a palette with so many shades that appeared exactly the same? It seemed pointless. Fast forward to a browse through Sephora one day and it ended up in my cart and I have not looked back since. I used this palette so often it’s sort of absurd because I have so many palettes that I’m not loyal to any one of them. But this? This one I’m in a serious relationship with. Several months down the line she introduced a different shade selection in the form of Blooming Romance and I did not hesitate to grab it. Another purchase I don’t regret. It’s a perfect selection of shades to create a pretty, soft, easy rose look or even a deeper, more sultry berry look. I’d never thought either of these would be loved as much as they are by me but here we are. I highly recommend both!
Natasha Denona Bloom Eyeshadow Palette $69
I spoke about this above and yesterday as well. I got this one full-price (well, actually I used Ulta points but I still didn’t wait on a sale for it) and I really don’t regret it. It’s stunning! If you love peaches, corals, and golds this is the palette for you! It’s a must get for Summer looks and at the moment it’s my fav shadow palette!
