Finding the best eyeshadow palette is a little like trying to find your next date, except harder, because no one's created a Tinder to match you and your eyeshadow soulmate (yet).
For starters, if you're looking for an everyday palette, it's worth considering at a neutral colour spectrum (to ensure the shades are as wearable as possible). A great option would be Huda Beauty's NUDE Obsession eyeshadows. The trio of mini palettes each contain a selection of 'nude' hues, in super-flattering light, medium and deep tones.
However, if neutral colours leave you yawning, be sure to check out the e.l.f. Retro Paradise Eyeshadow Palette. It's packed with 39 super-pigmented, rainbow-inspired hues, in both creamy matte and glossy metallic finishes. You can create endless looks with this multi-coloured palette, from an emerald smokey-eye to a wash of neon pink, it covers all bases.
And finally, if you fancy something with a bit of both, stunning neutrals and bold colourful shades, prepare to fall for Anastasia Beverly Hills' infamous Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette. With stunning crimson hues, glossy golds and warm, creamy browns, you'll never get bored of it.
Yup, there's a lot to choose from, so we've tried and tested some of the industry's most-talked-about palettes, to help make eyeshadow shopping that tiny bit easier. You're welcome.
1 Maybelline Nudes of New York Nude Eye Shadow Palette
Maybelline amazon.co.uk
£9.99
Most drugstore palettes struggle to nail the neutral eyeshadow palette, but not Maybelline. It’s bold to say, but this could very well be the best neutral palette your local Boots has ever seen. Smooth, creamy shades (zero chalkiness in sight) that are just as highly pigmented as our £40+ palette. Even better, we would and will use every single colour.

3 e.l.f. Retro Paradise Eyeshadow Palette, £14

The foil shades in the palette can be worn wet or dry, meaning you can dial up the intensity of you a blinding sheen.

11 Reloaded Palette Velvet Rose
Makeup Revolution revolutionbeauty.com
£5.00
I can't quite believe this palette only costs five pounds, yes, FIVE. Yet you get 15 eyeshadows, so it works out at just 33pence per shade - ah-mazing. All of the shades are creamy and easy to blend; the foils and shimmer shadows are packed with pigment, which means they apply like a dream. The mattes are a liiittle less pigmented, but for the price it's still ridiculously good value. Go pick it up now, trust me, you won't regret it.

13 Modern Renaissance Eye Shadow Palette
Anastasia Beverly Hills cultbeauty.co.uk

This palette started something of a revolution across the internet, with every YouTuber out there singing it's praises. It arguably kicked off our obsession with warmer shadows and prompted oh-so many brands to launch their own red and pink-toned palettes.
As with all the Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow palettes, the quality is impeccable, so this is a worthy investment for your makeup collection.
14 Meteor Storm Eyeshadow Palette

From her Rose Gold Remastered palette to the latest launch, Mercury Retrograde. But our all time fave? Has to be her NUDE Obsessions trio, the three palettes have the ultimate selection of neutral-toned shadows to flatter every skin tone.
16 I-Divine Palette - A New Day
