Eyeshadow Palette Favorites
I adore my eyeshadow singles, but still love and use eyeshadow palettes! Below are some of my favorites. I excluded ones like the Melt Radioactive Palette, which was limited edition and my favorite rainbow neon palette since Urban Decay’s Electric Palette.
- Natasha Denona My Mini Dream Palette – this is a flattering neutral-toned eyeshadow palette. It does not pull cool toned on me, reads more as neutral.
- Blend Bunny Lure Palette – Seriously, this mermaid-hued palette is perfect for most of the makeup looks I want to do. I use the cool-toned pinks, blues, purples, and greens frequently.
- Nabla Wildberry Cutie Palette – great for travel with pinks and duochromes!
- Natasha Denona Mini Love Palette – I adore the mini love so much! It’s perfect for travel. These pinks are very flattering on my skin tone
- Adept Cosmetics Cyborg Choir Palette – This palette has the most unique holochrome formula in my collection. I love Binary Beat, Android Aura, Robo Rose, Pixelated Pulse, Laser Lights, Voltage Violet, Mechanical Muse, Digital Harmony, all so much.
- Viseart Editorial Brights Palette – I love this for cosplay, conventions, and travel. It’s my favorite all matte rainbow palette.
- Lime Crime Venus Immortalis Palette – I use the greys in here frequently, great color story
- Natasha Denona Mini Zendo Palette – love these peachy hues as they make my eyes pop blue
- Natasha Denona Zendo Palette – the shimmers in here plus the Triochrome palette are why I’m skipping out on Yucca

- Lethal 1UP Palette – the palette that made me fall head over heels with Lethal!
- Danessa Myricks Lightworks IV – absolutely stunning multichrome palette
