There is no one perfect number—it depends on your lifestyle. Small palettes are great for everyday use, medium palettes give you variety, and large palettes are perfect for experimentation. The best palette is the one you’ll actually use and enjoy.
No palette is 100% free of fallout, especially shimmers or loose glitters, but many come close. By choosing well-pressed shades, quality formula, and using good tools + techniques, you can enjoy beautiful eye looks without the mess.
A travel-friendly palette should combine compact design, versatile shades, good pigment, and secure packaging. Choose one that fits your style, bag size, and the looks you’ll use most. That way, you travel lighter but still look polished wherever you go.
If you have dark skin, the best eyeshadow palettes are those with rich pigment, warm or jewel-toned hues, and a good mix of matte and shimmer finishes. Don’t be afraid of bold shades—they often look amazing. With the right base, technique, and color story, you’ll find palettes that make your eyes stand out beautifully.
