When you’re shopping for makeup, come to Macy’s. We carry the best in beauty, with all-time favorite brands and new names to try. One of the simplest ways to update your look is with eye makeup. We love the ease of eye shadow palettes, and the coordinated shades work together in so many ways. Whether you’re expanding a palette of neutrals or experimenting with vibrant hues, find all the best eye shadow palettes in one place.

Why Buy an Eye Shadow Palette?
If you’ve always relied on single-shadow compacts, it’s time to branch out. The best eye makeup palettes feature eye shadows that combine in different ways for various daytime and nighttime looks. For example, a nude eyeshadow palette usually includes light-colored shadows for highlighting, mid-tone shadows to use as bases, and dark-hued eyeshadows for creating smoky effects. While most palettes contain powder-based shadows, a cream eyeshadow palette has wax-based pigments to wear alone or layered with powder eyeshadows. You’ll need makeup brushes to get the most out of any eyeshadow palette. Thin brushes are best for lining (yes, the dark shadow in your palette will double as eyeliner), while wider brushes are better for blending.

How to Use Eye Shadow Palettes
For daytime, sweep a base tone from your neutral eyeshadow palette over the entire lid. Then accent the browbone with a light color and dot a darker shadow at the lash line, softly blending as you go. Define the eye with eyeliner before moving on to mascara. For nighttime, swap out your matte eyeshadow palette for a sparkle eyeshadow palette that’s heavy on shimmer. Evening is the right time to rock a smoky eye or go bold with a colorful eyeshadow palette. Choose from your favorite mascaras to complete any dramatic look.
