How to Choose the Best Makeup Palette
An eyeshadow palette is like a jewelry box if you know how to pick the right one. In the beginning eye palettes were reserved only for makeup artists, but now they are very popular and could be considered a great alternative if you want to have a polished and professional look.
Shade Range
Never buy a new palette only because it has one color that you love.
It’s better to have a mix of beautiful colors that will match perfectly with one another.
Most of the palettes have a dark and light shade, a shimmer color and a neutral one.
Basic Colors
Sometimes it can be really tempting to buy a glamorous palette with extravagant colors, but if you are not a professional makeup artist it’s better to stick in with the basics.
Go for a neutral palette with nude colors like taupe, beige, brown and a smoky palette with gray, black or navy.
If you have blue eyes you can choose gold accents, for brown eyes plum hues, and warm peachy shades for green eyes.
Quality not Quantity
Many makeup brands offer palettes that have at least 100 hundred shades.
Try to not spend money on those because usually they are barely pigmented.
Invest in a high-quality eyeshadow palette that you will actually use.
How to use it
If you want to have a natural, yet perfect look, it would be appropriate to follow some basic guidelines, especially when you are working with a palette that has many shades.
You can use a vivid shade on the eyelids that will blend perfectly with a nude color.
The lighter shades are best used as highlights so you can apply them in the inner corners of your eyes and to accentuate the brow bones.
Dark shades can be used as liners or to create a dramatic look and the medium shades can be used for blending.
