- So many popular eyeshadow palettes focus on neutrals, but color is having a major moment.
- The Urban Decay Born to Run Eyeshadow Palette is a wearable mix of bold and natural shades in a variety of finishes, from matte to metallic.
Neutral eyeshadow palettes get most of the attention. It makes sense - they tend to be more wearable, at least at first glance. Browns, beiges, and champagne shimmers are work-appropriate eyeshadow staples.
But who decided color isn't suitable for daily life? While I tend to gravitate toward muted shades most often, I definitely like an occasional pop of purple or blue. Some color eyeshadow palettes are really a mix of neutrals and bright shades, while others are pure rainbow.
Which one you choose will likely depend on what you already have in your collection. If you already have tons of matte-brown shades, you may want to pick up a smaller, less expensive palette full of brights to play around with. Or, opt for an all-encompassing selection that can be useful for every single day. As a beauty writer, I've tried many eyeshadows on the market. Based on my research along with customer favorites, these are our picks for the best color eyeshadow palettes you can buy.
