7 luxe metallic eyeshadow palettes set to add shimmer to your stash
Best believe they're still bejewelled
If we're talking about 'makeup that makes the biggest impact', there's nothing that tops the work of a metallic eyeshadow palette. It's pizazz in pigment form, able to transform a look from basic to bejewelled with a few shimmery swipes.
Metallic eyeshadow doesn't only come in copper or gold form, either; the superior shadow edits often also offer deeper metallic hues that double as liners or molten colours that make brighter looks a breeze.
The key to mastering metallics? Selecting the right collection of shades. The magic of any metallic eyeshadow palette lies in its versatility (as well as the blendability and staying power of its pigment), so it's important to assess which will give you the most options based on your personal taste. The more thought you put into adding the right one to cart (and then your collection), the better it will serve you in your mission to create majestic metallic looks.
So if you've come in search of the best metallic edits on the market, we've got you (and your lustre-craving lids) covered. Whether you're looking for pastels, neutrals, or a mix of everything in between, here are the metallic eyeshadow palettes we're obsessing over right now...
