Once you open the palette, rich smells of chocolate serenades your senses
Eye make-up is a serious part of your daily routine, if not a part of your whole life.
From your daily run to the groceries, to a girl’s night out, a smokey eye or a golden glow makes all the difference.
It can take you from a dreamy day time princess, to a smouldering, mysterious, make-up queen.
But which brands are truly providing us with the best palettes?
We have scoured both high street and designer make-up brands to find out which eye shadows are truly a tone above the rest.

2. Hourglass Modernist Eyeshadow Palette

The perfect thing about this product is the endless choice you have.

3. Bobbi Brown Deluxe Eye and Cheek Palette

This versatile two-tiered palette offers eight stunning shades of eye shadow, as well as two blushes on the lower tier.
Each shadow colour moulds a different look. The soft, pale tones are ideal for a day time look, and work well as a highlight, whilst the shimmery, darker tones are a go-to for a night time ensemble.
The two blushes also aid these two looks. The darker blush would pair well for running your daytime errands, whereas the brighter blush will give you that show-stopping, dramatic look.
The silver interior comes with a large mirror, as well as a dual-ended eye shadow/eye liner brush. What more could you ask for!

5. Smashbox Double Exposure Palette

Gorgeous, silky tones, beautifully pigmented colours, and a smooth application. These are some of the reasons why we love this palette.
But perhaps the most riveting aspect of this eye shadow palette is the way Smashbox have catered for each and every eye shape.
After identifying which the main eye shapes that we all have, the cosmetics brand provide a step by step guide which best describes day time and night time looks depending on the shape your lids.
Its clear diagrams make it easy for you to mould a look within seconds. And the colours aren’t too bad either.
The coating technology of each shade creates multiple effects when wet, adding vibrancy, definition, and sparkle to each tone.
The palette comes with a double-ended brush, a domed side which absorbs the water, and the angle side which adds concise lines when wet.
A full exposure mascara is also included in the mix, which may just tip you over the edge.
With so many things to offer, Smashbox is a definite favourite of ours.
