Valentino Beauty Color-Flip Eyeshadow Palette
While this compact can fit in your hand, it holds eight universal shades to help you create a fierce eye look. You can also get creative with it and use it to contour your nose, add a flush to your cheeks or whatever else you come up with. It even comes with the tools you need — one flat brush and one eyeliner brush.
IT Cosmetics Your Most Beautiful You Anti-Aging Matte Bronzer, Radiance Luminizer & Brightening Blush Palette
If you love flawless face makeup and like to be able to touch up during the day, you’ll adore this palette from IT Cosmetics. You’ll find a matte bronzer, glowy highlighter and blush inside this handy compact. As with all of the brand’s products, it’s infused with skin-loving ingredients like hydrolyzed collagen, silk and peptides for an anti-aging effect on your complexion.
Lancôme Hypnôse 5-Color Eyeshadow Palette
A travel-friendly nude eyeshadow palette, such as the Lancôme Hypnôse 5-Color Eyeshadow Palette, is an essential for any makeup lover. The shiny metallic shades are perfect for highlighting the high points of your face and creating sultry nighttime eye makeup looks, while the matte shadows are great for everyday wear.
YSL Beauty Couture Clutch Eyeshadow Palette
Inspired by the desert, the stunning earthy hues of the YSL Beauty Couture Clutch Eyeshadow Palette can be used on your eyes, as intended, or your face when you feel like experimenting. We particularly like the idea of using the rosy shades as blush. The gorgeous compact also doubles as a designer clutch, making this palette even more dynamic.
L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Palette Nude
The L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Palette Nude comes with 10 versatile shades in three different finishes — shimmery satin, buttery matte and lustrous sheen. Play with different combinations of colors to achieve beautiful eye makeup looks that will take you from day to night.
Charlotte Tilbury Look of Love Instant Look In a Palette
If bronze makeup is your thing, then this palette should be on your radar. These pillowy-soft powders will be your secret to an airbrushed-looking complexion. Not to mention, the seven shades are housed in a gold compact that will look luxe as you pull it out of your purse.

Glossier Monochromes Palette
The Glossier Monochromes Palette features three complementary monochromatic shades in a small, convenient compact so you can touch up throughout the day. While each of the ten colorway options is gorgeous, we’re partial to Heather because the neutral rose shades would also work as blush.

An exciting, limited-edition offering, the ILIA Beauty Multi Stick Palette combines six shades of the brand’s signature Multi-Stick cream makeup in one package. The blendable, sheer formula can be used on your face and lips, with color options that work as blush, bronzer, lip tint, highlighter and eyeshadow.
