Top 5 Eyeshadow Palettes

Eyeshadow palettes, we all love them and all have at least 5 in our makeup collections whether it be a dainty quad or a full on 15 shade collection. There are so many different palettes out there on the market at the moment whether it be premium or budget, all the brands are getting in on the action. So I thought I would bring you my top 5 palettes:

The L'Oreal La Palette Nude is more than likely my favourite palette, it contains 10 shades all of which are pinky/berry toned and suit my skin tone and eye shade perfectly. It is super travel friendly as it is a lot smaller than my other palettes and is quite slim in design so slides into my makeup bag perfectly. All the shadows are super buttery and blend seamlessly, every single shade also works in harmony with it's neighbour. Also this palette contains every shade you would ever need in a palette, a light highlighting shade, neutral shades for the crease/socket and darker shades for the outer corners and lower lash lines.

Next up in my MAC Warm Neutral Palette, this palette contains 15 shades all of which are all warm in tone, which is perfect for me. I much more prefer warmer toned shadows as they just suit me so much better than cool toned shadows. It contains a range of lighter, medium and darker coloured shadows, I do absolutely love this palette and tend to reach for it on a daily basis but it just isn't travel friendly at all. It isn't bulky but it's quite large so I struggle to find a makeup bag that it will fit into. I will be doing a full review on this palette soon so keep those peepers peeled.

Third in line is the Bobbi Brown Sand Palette, this palette is a neutral lovers dream. It contains 8 shades all of which are meant to represent sand, funnily enough. They all work and intertwine with each other perfectly, again you can pretty much create any look with this palette as it contains all the elements you would need for a smokey eye or a natural eye. The only niggle that I have with Bobbi Brown palettes is that I always find the pigmentation isn't as good as their single individual shadows, I'm not sure why but I seem to find this with all the palettes that I get from Bobbi.

Next is the Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Palette, this is a serious dupe for the Naked 3 Palette. Every single shade in this palette is pretty much identical to the Urban Decay palette. For the price of this palette (£4.00!) the quality is incredible. The shadows pick up really well and blend effortlessly onto the lids.

And lastly is the Clarins The Essentials Palette, this was a limited edition palette released at Christmas time last year. If I'm honest there isn't anything in this palette that makes it stand out from any other palette, the individual shadows are good, pick up well, pigmented well but the one thing that got this palette into my top 5 is that gold shade right there in the middle. It look so incredibly pretty on the lids with a sweep of black liner and lashings of mascara.

So they are my top 5 eyeshadow palettes, which are yours?
