Here at MRG we understand the pain of drowning in the sea of beauty palettes. That is why we have created a little cheat sheet on the most valuable palettes that are definitely worth stashing next to your vanity mirror.
The Most Highly Coveted Eyeshadow Palette
Anastasia Beverly Hills (ABH) is the biggest beauty influencer, and her Pro Line is always coming out with the most beauty forward products. This season her Modern Renaissance Eye Shadow Palette truly represents one of the best quality palettes. The powder eye-shadows have huge color payoff (highly pigmented) and they are so creamy/smooth/buttery that they are so easy to blend into an effortless look. On top of that she has a huge range of colors that can pull off a neutral eye to a dramatic eye in seconds. When I, Brooke, first tried the palette I was unsure of some of the colors but as I got more confident I started to appreciate the incredibly versatile selection. This is a palette that every beauty enthusiasts wants and adores!!

The Essential All Matte Eyeshadow Palette
Tarte Amazonian Clay Palette is an incredible classic and go to palette. This classic palette is the little back dress of eye-shadow palettes. This staple palette is one I find myself reaching for everyday. The best part about this palette is that it is all matte, has great color payoff and contains all of the essential colors. I also personally depend on this palette for when I travel because I can accomplish every eye-makeup look imaginable. If you are looking for a staple eye-shadow palette that will fulfill all fundamental colors needed for eye make-up then look no further!

The Go To Contour/Highlight Palette
The Kat Von D Shade + Lite Face Contour Refillable Palette is amazing. This has been a hot item ever since it launched and now it comes in refillable magnetic pans, so when you run out of one color you don’t have to buy a whole new palette …which we love! The reason I love this palette is because it has the perfect colors for contouring, they are not too warm where it looks unnatural and orange. This is always a struggle for fair skin/cool undertone girlies. The highlighters are perfecting for setting your cream concealer and brightening up the eye area. I also love this palette for beginners if you want to start learning how to contour/highlight because it is very easy to blend and it takes very little effort in making it flawless and natural, which makes it perfect for all those rushed mornings on the go!

The Top Fun Glow Kit Palette
Anastasia Beverly Hills Sweets Glow Kit is such a unique, and fun highlighter palette with playful colors that can be used to dust on the cheeks, and highlight any areas of the face even including your brow bone, and inner tear ducts. This is a great holiday palette because it has 4 unique colors that are so feminine and is such high quality!

The Top Variety Sample Palette
Tarte Limited-Edition Tarteist Contour Palette is a great variety for face powder palette. Do not let the name fool you because it has two contour shades, two highlight shades (which are the highlight and correct shade … even though the shade is labeled correct, a yellow matte is considered a highlighter and really can brighten up the eye area) And it also has a nice universal blush and a nice soft shimmery color. I love this palette because it has a nice sampling of everything. It is a great palette to dip your toes in when it comes to all the new facial beauty trends!
