Don’t get us wrong – neutral palettes are wonderful. That said, how many similar brown eyeshadow shades do you really need? This 2018, we’ve made a pledge to ourselves to inject more daring eyeshadow shades into our makeup routines, and with so many vibrant palettes avail in the market, you should too! Here are seven that we love:
1. Smashbox Bold Cover Shot Eye Palette (RM130)
Inspired by L.A. trends, this Smashbox palette features six electrifying hues that transform depending which of the two base shades you apply underneath. Yes, it’s a relatively small palette, but the possibilities are endless and surprisingly, these colours can be super wearable; it just boils down to the intensity you seek.
2. NYX Ultimate Brights Eye Palette (RM75)
With 16 striking shadows packed into one, this pro-level palette would make for an exciting yet affordable addition to your makeup collection. Bold, pigmented eyeshadow shades aside, the colours blend effortlessly and are long-lasting. To help these all-matte colours pop even more, try using an eyeshadow base underneath!
3. Omorose Shades of Glee Palette (RM149)
Just laying our eyes on this palette gets us delighted, and as the 12 eyeshadow shades in the palette comprise of both matte and shimmers in brights as well as neutrals, you can easily achieve full-on eye looks without another complementary palette. That plus point is surely a winner in our books.
