Even though this palette only has 5 colors, it can surprisingly help create a NUMBER of lewks! The super soft, pigmented matte formula also makes for great transition shades and can easily compliment other more colorful palettes.

With the cheapest price tag of the bunch, this palette is a steal! The unique mix of brown based shades give you just enough to mix it up and get creative, or stay within the realms of neutral glam.

Although I admittedly have mixed feelings about Tarte as a brand, this palette has remained my guilty pleasure. Each shade is pretty neutral but at the same time very versatile. The clay shadow formula is also super pigmented and blendable.

The Identity Palette is an amazing neutral palette, especially for those with brown eyes. This is another palette that also has a great mix of warm and cooler tones as well as mattes and shimmers.

This palette DEFINITELY skews warmer but it was one of the first palettes I owned that allowed me to actually use every single shade! (You can use the code 'COCOA' for $$ off your purchase)
