Colorful Eyeshadow Palettes

Do you ever get tired of all the brown eyeshadow?  Do you ever wonder where you can go to get some color added into your looks?  Well, here’s a rundown on some colorful eyeshadow palettes that are currently available.

Huda Electric Palette

Huda Electric Palette ($27)
This palette has a full color rainbow.  When I look at it, I think 80s Barbie which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.  The great thing about this palette is it’s somewhat affordable at $27 which I don’t think is terrible considering the rave reviews Huda has been getting and the fact you get nine shadows.

Juvia's Place Zulu Palette

Juvia’s Place Zulu Palette ($21.50)
Juvia seems to be a brand that’s flying under the radar.  I found out about them from a European Youtuber I enjoy watching.  They have great color payoff and are even more affordable than Hoda and you still get nine, fairly large, eyeshadows.

Juvia's Place Magic Palette


Juvia’s Place Magic Palette ($28)
This palette has sixteen eyeshadows for $28 which isn’t bad.  With this palette you can go for more neutral or toned down looks, but you also get a chance to play with color.  You really get a nice variety.

Box of Crayons Palette

Box Of Crayons Palette (who cares?)
I was super excited about this palette and this brand.  I’m super obsessed with Crayola and I love the fact they have a palette that’s ‘modelled’ after them.  However, I’ve recently been made aware of some shady things going on with the company. It’s enough that I’ve unofficially removed them from this list pending further review.

Life's a Festival Palette

Life’s a Festival Palette ($42)
Too Faced has been sold to a new owner, which officially means they can now find themselves on my blog.  I’ve been loving this collection from them with it’s fun unicorns and rainbows. I’m still on the fence about purchasing this palette.  It’s got a full rainbow of eyeshadows and some of them are duochrome, what’s not to love? I want it, but I already own more eyeshadow than I could ever use and $42 is a lot of money.

Lorac Pro 4 Palette


Lorac Pro 4 ($59)
With this Lorac palette, you get 32 shadows.  I believe it’s the most expensive palette on this list, and possibly the least colorful.  It is beautiful though and while the colors are muted, you do get a large selection of colors.  There’s pink, greens, blues, purples, and browns. And a lot of these looks will be fairly natural, if that’s your thing.

Tarte Be a Mermaid Palette


Tarte Be A Mermaid Palette ($42)
This palette of shimmery shadows features far too many browns to be on my radar, but there are some pretty pops of color in there too.  And I really do love the packaging on this one.

Natasha Denona Tropic Eyeshadow Palette


Natasha Denona Tropic Eyeshadow Palette ($129)
I’ve heard nothing but great things about her eyeshadow, even if I can’t bring myself to spend that kind of money on something I’m not sure I would use that often.  This palette has far too many browns for my taste, but the colorful shadows sure do look pretty and I hear they perform well too.

Storybook Cosmetics Burn Book Palette


Storybook Cosmetics Burn Book ($55)
This colorful palette has a lot of warm tones going on.  Out of the twelve shadows, there’s three pinks and two oranges.  It isn’t my thing, but I’m sure there’s someone out there who will love this thing.

Maybelline Urban Lights Palette

Maybelline Urban Lights Palette ($9.98)

I wanted to include something that was super affordable.  This palette has some warm toned shadows and cooler toned shadows.  It really is quite a beautiful selection, especially for such an excellent price point.
