Best eyeshadow palette 2018
The composition of an eyeshadow palette – bringing together complementary tones, shades and textures – needs to be stunning as they’re often fairly expensive, and something of an investment piece.
But they should also tick as many practical boxes as possible – neutral base shades, darker tones for definition and lining, and lighter shades for highlighting are a must. Shimmery shades are generally fairly forgiving, while matte works well as a base and looks ultra-modern – so a mix of the two is helpful.
A range of shades allows you to change up your eye look, with the same palette taking you from day to evening. A beautiful compact and a good quality, doubled-ended tapered brush are a bonus.
