Five of the Best: Cult Beauty Eyeshadow Palettes

There’s something about Eyeshadow Palettes that gets me every time.

An array of colours, all so perfectly placed and each colour begging to be picked first. I’m taken back to the days of running up to the corner store after school, eyes wide as I stare at the lollies and carefully select my 50 cents worth. Do I go for the sour gummy watermelon slices, the smooth ombre coke bottles, the red clouds, or the gummy hamburgers and golden French fries?

And the warm feelings that this memory evokes is exactly why I believe that Eyeshadow Palettes are so powerful a tool to have in our Makeup repertoire. Every eyeshadow palette has its own place and for my first ever ‘Five of the Best’, I’m bringing back the bright lights, creative colours and glitter-galore that adorned almost all of my school projects.

Rude Cosmetics Sin of Glittony Glitter Palette 8th Deadly Sin

Why have seven sinfully fun shadows when you can have 15? This palette by L.A. based cult beauty brand Rude packs in the best of all the Glitter categories –from shiny disco balls and shimmery cosmic metallics to glittery shapes paired with the perfect colours – and has something fun for every party vibe.

I love how clever this palette is; the silver crescent moons & stars shimmer in midnight-blue, with stars of red hot passion, and the always alluring emerald green.

The Sin of Glittony Glitter Palette 8th Deadly Sin has the inimitable stamp of the essence at the heart of Rude Cosmetics - fun, flirty, daring and unashamedly bold! Whether you’re going to an after-dark discotheque, a festival or a day party, there is surely a sin for you.

KimChi Chic Beauty Teddy Kim 01 Girlfriend & KimChi Chic Beauty Teddy Kim 02 Boyfriend

Reminiscent of cotton candy, these adorable palettes from KimChi Chic Beauty are not only playfully cute on the outside, but also deliver gorgeous, high pigmented shades on the inside. Upon opening your teddy, you’ll find a choice of 17 eyeshadows in one half with two blushes and two highlighters in the other.

Teddy Kim 01 Girlfriend offers an array of cool-toned neutrals featuring cool-pastel pinks, taupes and deep, rich browns, making it the perfect palette for a natural look. Buildable velvety textures for shimmers and rich colours for mattes allow you to customise your look – taking you from soft daytime vibes to an evening out in no time!

 With invitingly warm-neutrals, luscious taupes, softer browns and warm earthy-pinks, Teddy Kim 02 Boyfriend also packs a punch with four bright coloured shimmers which pair perfectly as well as on their own. 

If you can resist both (unlike me!), I promise Teddy Kim’s will brighten your day and give you that un-bear-able confidence ... wrapped up in a cuddly hug!
