Let’s face it ladies, we’re all addicted to eyeshadow palettes and they’re definitely our BFF when we want to add something extra to our everyday makeup look.

Efficiency is key, but we can’t sacrifice quality either. And of course it’s even better if highlighting and contouring can be accomplished.

2. Urban Decay Naked
The Urban Decay Naked Palette is a fan favorite and my personal go-to. All 12 shadows in this palette are neutral, so you really can’t go wrong with any color. Virgin is the lightest shade and the one I find myself using most often. It’s also an unbeatable highlighter. Truly a solid, staple palette filled with golden neutrals that will never let you down. Sold at Sephora for $54, it’s an incredible steal!
3. Too-Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar
It’s true, this palette really does smell like chocolate and it’s oh so good. The cuteness level continues with it’s packaging that resembles a chocolate bar. Pigmentation and blendability is also incredible. For all you gals who prefer cooler tones rather than warm, this palette will exceed your expectations. Creating a natural look will be effortless. $49 is all you have to spend for numerous shades that you’ll use over and over again.
4.) Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance
This palette has been raved about by beauty bloggers everywhere. There are 14 different shades, all favoring warmer tones with burnt reds and smokey neutrals.
