6 Jewel-Toned Eyeshadow Palettes Prettier Than Well, Most Things
December 06, 2018
The holidays often call for glam makeup looks — ranging from the classic gold eye and red lip pairing to applying glitter practically everywhere. While these looks are classic for a reason, we have our eyes set on jewel-tone makeup for the upcoming season — and there’s no better way to get the jewel-tone look than with a jewel-tone makeup palette. These shades look great on just about everyone, and their rich, gemstone-colored hues feel warm and chic. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best eyeshadow palettes to get the look, from the versatile palette with nearly every color under the sun to the color coordinated gem taking over the ‘gram.
Peep our picks, ahead:

With 21 versatile shades, Born to Run is one of those palettes we’d want to take, well, on the run. They’re pigmented, easy to apply and designed to look good on a wide range of skin tones. The palette contains lots of on-trend hues like Hell Ride, a berry-toned shadow and Radio, a deep shimmery blue.
