There are so many different eyeshadows brands and palettes on the market that it can be difficult to choose the right one, especially when you’re on a budget! But that’s where I come in ladies. I’m going to take you through some of the best eye shadow palettes on the market. 

 

Urban Decay Naked Palettes

Some of the of the most well known and loved palettes are of course the Urban Decay Naked Palettes. They are possibly some of the most talked about palettes in the beauty community and it’s no surprise why. The Naked Palettes offer a wide range of colours from warm tone browns and golds, cool toned silvers and blues along with rosy blushed pinks. There are currently four palettes; Naked Palette, Naked Palette 2, Naked Palette 3 and Naked Smokey Palette. The palettes currently retail at €47.50 in Debenhams. While this is a hefty price for what an eyeshadow palette, I can assure you this is worth the investment.

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow Palette

The next eyeshadow palette that must be on every girl’s Wishlist is the ‘Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow Palette’. This palette has quickly become a staple in nearly every beauty vlogger’s makeup kit. While this is on the pricey side of the beauty counter, you are getting quality eyeshadows in a variety of colours. Whether it’s a casual day in college or a night out with the girls  this palette caters for both. The shadows themselves are extremely buttery and pigmented so trust me ladies when I say spend the money on this palette.

Morphe 35 palettes

The final eyeshadow palette that I will be discussing is none other than the Morphe 35 palettes. Anyone who knows anything about makeup has heard about these palettes, as they are some of the most sought after palettes on the beauty market at the moment. Although they currently don’t have any retail stores, the palettes are sold online. The Morphe website is based in the United States, however there are several online stores based in Ireland and the UK that deliver Morphe palettes. There are multiple colours palettes to choose, from warm and autumnal oranges, browns  reds or purples, lilacs and blues as well as a wide range of matte and shimmers.
