Having the best eyeshadow palettes at your disposal may be the quickest way to feel like a pro makeup artist. The sheer variety of shades, finishes, and required brushes alone opens the door to a world of possibilities—from endless color combinations to matte, sparkle, or matte with sparkle looks. And while the palettes can evoke a kid-in-a-candy-store feeling for makeup lovers, they can also overwhelm those who don’t quite know, well, how to use them. This is where the pros come in.
