My much-loved pre-made eye shadow palettes

perhaps I’m being as well loose with the term “palette” since most of my favourites are just quads – however I mean they autumn under the umbrella of palettes? To me, a combination is anything a lot more than a duo – so trios, quads, as well as quints all qualify.  What I’m trying to state is that I do not like big scale pre-made palettes. I understand that within a palette, I will always end up with at least one dud, as well as the a lot more shades within a palette, the higher the chances are that I will end up with many duds (so no, I do not own any type of of the metropolitan Decay naked palettes!)

My requirements for a great combination is one that I like most, if not all, of the shades, as well as one that I can produce a almost total eye look from. They’re fantastic for travelling as well as those days when I just want a one stop shop for my eye shadow look.  Here are my much-loved pre-made eye shadow palettes.

MAC Bare My Soul: Eye shadow X4 (Romantico, Bare My Soul, Friendly, When In Rio) – $52
I’m m sorry to begin off with a restricted edition combination however this is SO great that I just had to include it. Normally, I don’t choose pre-made MAC palettes – I own just 3 of them – sometimes the high quality are not always as great as their singles. Besides, MAC sells pan type of their eye shadows as well as empty palettes, it’s a no-brainer to develop my own.  But, this introduced in the temperature Rising collection in summertime of 2013 as well as was just special sufficient for me to pay attention. It has all shimmery shades however they are each high high quality as well as this combination alone would nearly total an eye look. I would perhaps need a matte shift shade for blending however that’s not a huge deal.

My much-loved shades in this combination are Romantico as well as Friendly.  The eco-friendly in When In Rio doesn’t actually doesn’t apply all that eco-friendly – it’s a duochrome with a strong dark brown base.

Illamasqua Neutral combination (Stealth, Vintage, Wolf, Obsidian) – $45 (was bought at The Bay however the brand is no longer offered in north america – on the internet only)
Trust me to purchase actually the most tame combination that Illamasqua has ever released.  But it’s a great fundamental – 3 matte shades (off-white, brown as well as a black = the Trifecta) as well as a sensational antique gold shimmery shade makes this a one combination wonder.

I frequently just wear vintage on its own around the lid, as well as then utilize Stealth as a brow bone highlight as well as phone call it a day. I keep in mind the makeup artists at the Illamasqua counter would rave about Obsidian as being the blackest black, however I discover it somewhat grey, as well as rather a dry formula.  Wolf makes a fantastic liner for a smudgy look.

Lancome color style Eye Brightening All-In-One five shadow & liner Palette Taupe trend 001 – $57 (department stores)
This was a gift from a buddy as well as it was immediate love!  The shades are all extremely wearable as well as as a stand alone palette, this has everything (sorry there are no private shade names in this combination however there are placement guidelines): 1 all-over base (I utilize this as my brow bone highlight), 2 lid (my much-loved shade of this combination – so delighted they made it the greatest pan), 3 crease (or shift shade which is matte), 4 highlight (this is method as well shimmery for brow bone highlight, I such as this for inner corner), 5 liner (or for the crease).

The high quality of these eye shadows are extremely buttery – the only drawback is that the shimmers tend to have some fall-out.  I do desire they have made the crease shade larger as well as less of the “highlight” which is a bit sheer.

Estee Lauder Pure color 5 Colour Eyeshadow combination 08 Bronze Dunes $50 (I believe EL has discontinued these palettes!  The new “Sculpting” 5 pans are most likely worth a look, the closest colours are “Rebel Metal” as well as “Defiant Nude”)
The warmness of this combination put me off at first, however I discovered to make it work by lightly dusting the matte brown shade on my lid as well as then blending the warm coppery shade on top, concentrating it in the inner corner.

The mattes in this combination are fantastic.  The formula of these shadows are a bit a lot more on the dry side, however the wear time of these shadows are the longest out of all of the palettes featured in this post.  I bring this combination on work trips when I understand that I will have long days.  The only irritating thing about this combination is exactly how tough it is to open!

Elizabeth Arden color Intrigue Eyeshadow Quad Sueded Browns – $15 (Winners – I’m not sure if these are still offered at counters however they’re on EA’s site)
Best $15 spent.  This combination is pigmented as well as versatile.  And compact size is, well, extremely compact.  The top 2 shades are satins without any typeof visible shimmer, as well as the bottom 2 shades have a extremely fine-tuned shimmer to them.

The eye shadow high quality is absolutely amazing – extremely blendable as well as long wearing.  I’m going to make a strong statement: I believe this is my top pick out of the palettes shown in this post.  I was so delighted with this discover at Winners that I trekked around town in really hopes that other places would stock more colours – my determination paid off: I likewise scored the Neutral Cashmeres and Velvet Plumtones.  They’re all great however Sueded Browns is my much-loved for a go to single combination look.

Those are my much-loved pre-made eye shadow palettes – let me understand what yours are!
