If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know that I love colors! The more the better, so I also like playing with colorful makeup once in a while. Today I will present you the best colorful eyeshadow palettes that I tested and LOVED.
So if you want to add some color to your daily looks with colorful eyeshadows, you’re in the right place. Let’s have fun and go shopping, friend!
We will go around the virtual shop considering your preferences and budget so that you will go out with your perfect colorful eyeshadow palette. Just trust me. 🙂
What Is Important When Choosing Colorful Eyeshadow Palettes?
Uhm, colors? 🙂
I mean, we will start from there, because if you don’t like the colors, the best quality of the product will not make you happy.
The Wow Colors
When you open your palette, you want to feel this “wow” and simply smile seeing so many beautiful colors. That’s how you know it’s the one.
But we cannot pretend like the quality does not matter. There are different levels of pigmentation and the low-quality ones can not last too long and be hard to put on. Unless you have great brushes of course.
Makeup Brushes First!
Oh, speaking of – these are the ones that I have because they are just so colorful and pretty. I’ve been using them for over a year now (Mum bought me them as a gift, thanks Mummy!).
But I was also using bamboo ones and maybe they are not as colorful and pretty, but they feel soft, yet are effective in putting eyeshadows and highlighters on.
So if you have great brushes as your weapon, low-quality pigment will not conquer you that easily.
Overall Quality
Colors need to be not only wow, but also long-lasting and easily blending.
The easiest way to check it is by taking a small piece of an eyeshadow and putting it on your hand. If the color goes off, the pigmentation is not the best. If it is almost as vivid as in the box, it is great.
Of course, we will not be doing that in our virtual shop, that’s why I’ve already tested the pigmentation of the three colorful eyeshadow palettes I’m about to recommend.

Colorful Eyeshadow Palettes On a Small Budget
The colors are vivid, some of them have glitter, and despite the low price, they are well-pigmented. Sadly, they are not so long-lasting. I needed to add more products once a day, but other than that they did just fine.
I do love the glitter colors and if instead of using a brush you put them on with a finger, they look wow. Generally, too glitter shades should not be blended with a brush simply because of their texture, so I do not count it as a disadvantage of this palette.
So overall:
Price: Low
Colors: 8/10
Quality: 7/10
Lasting: 7/10
Medium Budget
This one was my first love among colorful eyeshadow palettes and I use it till the very day. I fell in love with the packaging. I mean, just look at it.
The majority of colors are mat, but the glitter options are there too and believe me, they are wow.
They last longer than the previous palette, but pigmentation varies to the shade. Some of them are easy to blend and the color is the same in the box and on the body, but there are a few brighter shades that require more aggressive movements of brush.
Yet, overall, I am satisfied. Especially since the price is not killing one’s wallet too!
The ranking:
Price: Low/medium
Colors: 10/10!
Quality: 8/10
Lasting: 8/10
You can get my favorite palette here.
High Budget
Now that’s a brave one of our colorful eyeshadow palettes. The package is cute and I love the little stars in the eyeshadows itself.
I had the privilege to test it out and the colors turned out to be very pigmented. It is long-lasting so you do not need to worry about adding it up during the day.
It’s comfortable to blend the shades and they cooperated with every brush that I’ve used.
The price is not low for sure, but that’s a good investment because it certainly can serve for years.
Ranking:
Price: Medium/high
Colors: 9/10
Quality: 10/10
Lasting: 10/10
Let’s Have Fun With Colorful Eyeshadow Palettes!
Makeup should be fun. The colors should be fun. Expressing yourself through clothes and makeup should be fun! I hope you’ve found the perfect palette that can help you with that.
I love all three of my colorful eyeshadow palettes and I know you will love them too. Let me know which one you have decided on! (The crazy part of me would say – Spoil yourself and get all three of them! – but the responsible one would advise – Pick the best one. I guess you’ll decide for yourself which Marysia is right :)).
