Eyes are the new brows in the beauty world - and they can transform your look (and mood) in an instant.
With so many great new eyeshadows on the market, it's sometimes hard to know where to start if you're building up your collection, which is why a decent palette can be a real godsend.
Whether you like to keep things simple with a flash of block colour all over the lid, or love getting technical with cut crease and all, there are some incredible palettes from both old and new beauty brands that have been getting props from our beauty team and on social media - so they're definitely worth you checking them out too.
Take a look at our round up of the palettes we can't put down below.
1. Rose Gold Remastered palette, £56, Huda Beauty
Huda Beauty's Rose Gold palette is a favourite of beauty bloggers. The edit of buttery soft shades are a mix of universally flattering rose and gold tones and includes 'metal' metallic shimmer colours for eye-catching looks.
The remastered version has a few updates, based on customer feedback, along with an upgraded case with a mirror and some how-to look tutorials.
2. Modern Renaissance Palette, £43, Anastasia Beverly Hills
Another cult classic, serious beauty fans will know and love the popular Anastasia Beverly Hills palettes which receive a lot of fanfare online when they are released.
But a classic that never dates is the Modern Renaissance palette which features 14 hues that range from deep pinky reds to matte browns and soft beiges that suit all skin complexions and the formulas are second to none.
3. Nubian Palette, £30, Juvia's Place
A new(ish) kid on the block, Juvia's Place has been celebrated for its strong pigmented formulas.
The Nubian Palette is hands down the most wearable, with a collection of pretty neutral shades, it's a great bit of kit if you need one palette to take you from day to night in a few brush strokes.
4. NAKED2 Eyeshadow Palette, £39.50, Urban Decay
There's a reason Urban Decay's Naked palettes are so successful - excellent shade range and variety, colours that suit a wide variety of skin tones, and it is cruelty-free.
The Naked2 palette features 12 taupe shades that are ideal for creating soft or dramatic smoky eye looks. We. Are. Sold.
5. Chocolate Bar palette, £39, Too Faced
Who doesn't like chocolate, especially when it comes in the form of an eyeshadow palette?
This genius collection from Too Faced has 16 sugary matte and shimmer shades and with names like glided ganache, black forest truffle and amaretto you'll be creating looks that make you look good enough to eat!
6. Revolution Fortune Favours The Brave Palette, £9.99, Makeup Revolution
Designed by famous beauty blogger Jane Cunningham, this has a whopping
30 mattes and shimmers in all the colours your heart could desire.
Notebook Beauty writer Zoe says: "I’m in love. The shades are pigmented, and some of them are marbled together so you get a blend of two in one. Special shoutout to Sunset Hour and Super Gold – beautiful coppers – and the applicator brush is pretty decent as well."
7. Galaxy Eyeshadow Palette, £44 ($59), Fenty Beauty
If you go ga ga for glitter this limited edition palette from Rihanna's Fenty Beauty line is calling your name.
Launched as part of her Christmas collection last winter, the celestial inspired palette shades contain hyper-reflective sparkles that will ensure you look out of this world.
8. Bourjois Palette Les Nudes, £11.99, ASOS
This is the first ever palette from Bourjois, and it houses eight nudes and neutral shades that range from a deep brown to a pastel purple, and it also has a handy adjustable mirror.
Our Notebook Beauty ed Lynne says: "Such a pretty, delicate collection of colours. I loved the unusual (but very flattering) shimmery pistachio for daytime, and then adding the darker shades into the socket line for evening smokiness. The eyeshadow textures are so supersoft they’re almost buttery, making them a joy to blend, and they last really well."
This eight-shade palette comes in three versions but we love the Grunge Glamour collection which includes deeper, moodier shades that include copper, plum and slate grey.
Beauty ed Lynne says: "Of the three palettes, this Grunge Glamour one stands out with darker, smokier shades. None have the strongest pigments, though. I didn’t find these shadows very easy to build and blend."
