The Halloween season is a great time to try out new makeup looks. Eyeshadow palettes are a great way to start. They can be used for different things such as contouring, blush, bronzer, lip liner, eyeliner, etc… This year, I will be recommending my top 5 eyeshadow palettes, which can be used for a wide range of Halloween looks.
- Too Faced. Too Faced, the makeup brand known for their playful designs with great quality products. Too Faced eyeshadows are my all-time favorite, their eyeshadow palettes have a smooth bendable formula, and can last up to a few years. Which means more than one Halloween will have some killer eye looks! They have a wide selection of glitter and shimmer eyeshadow shades. Most Too Faced palettes contain a good amount of shimmery eye shadow shades, so if you’re looking for a more matte palette I would suggest looking at a different brand. However, I would recommend Too Faced if you want to use Halloween inspired colors to make that perfect eyeshadow look.
- Urban decay. Urban decay is known for their more alternative take on makeup. Their eyeshadow palettes are known for their balance of simple yet dramatic eyeshadow shades. They are comparable to Too Faced palettes, due to their longevity, but Urban Decay usually incorporates a bigger selection of darker shades. My favorite part about their palettes is that they include a brush,so don’t panic if you don’t have one! The palettes are perfect for a traditional full-face or even a scary,dramatic Halloween face. Truly there are endless possibilities.
- Juvia’s place. Juvia’s place is a black-owned beauty brand that focuses on making wearable products for different skin tones. Their makeup palettes contain many bold colors at a low price. Their shades are very pigmented, I will say that most of them have a warm undertone. If you prefer cooler or more neutral shades, I would steer away from Juiva’s Place. I will also mention that it is harder to work with for more minimalistic Halloween looks, due to how pigmented all of the shades are. Overall, I recommend their palettes for bright colorful Halloween makeup looks
- Colorpop. Colorpop is a makeup brand known for their affordable makeup and wide variety of collaborations. Similar to Juvia’s Place, Colorpop eyeshadow palettes are on the more pigmented side. However, they do require you to do a little bit of layering in order to get your desired pigmented shade. I would recommend Colorpop if you’re a beginner wanting to try eccentric looks. If you have more cool undertones, don’t worry they also have a selection of cooler/neutral eyeshadow shades. The only downside is that Colorpop palettes tend to run out quickly and are more on the fragile side.
- MAC Cosmetics. MAC Cosmetics is a makeup brand which specializes in chic looks with playful undertones. MAC has a very wide range of unique eyeshadow shades. If you are searching for an ultra-specific color, then I would definitely recommend checking out MAC. They make eyeshadow palletes in multiple sizes, and offer the option to pick out your shades of choice. The downside to MAC is that it can be more on the expensive side, especially if you’re purchasing multiple smaller palettes. I will say that overall, Mac’s eyeshadows are smooth and best for that niche Halloween makeup look.
