Makeup Palettes

Q. What is the best makeup palette?

A. Hi Beauty! The best makeup palettes are the palettes that are easy to use. These palettes will all have colors and shades that complement one another no matter if it’s eyeshadow, foundation, highlighter, or blush. At the same time, they won’t be so similar that your makeup look will be boring! You should always look for complementary and colorful makeup palettes. This is especially easy to accomplish if you decide to get a custom makeup palette, where you can choose your own shades! Getting an empty makeup palette can be a little scary if you’re a beginner, but the possibilities are literally endless! Another amazing aspect of customizing your makeup is that you can even get a magnetic makeup palette to help make sure none of your pans fall out or organize them however you’d like! Additionally, you can replace single colors when you run out instead of buying an entire new palette!

Q. What is a face palette?

A. A face palette is a wonderful addition to your makeup arsenal as it can shorten your makeup routine in the morning. Typically, buying a face palette means you’re getting a full face makeup palette, including foundation makeup, primer, bronzer, highlighter makeup, blush, and sometimes even eyeshadow! However, there are blush palettes, highlighter palettes, contour palettes, and combos of these as well! Adding one of these bad boys to your makeup collection will ensure you can try out any face makeup ideas you’ve ever had. You just need to make sure you have the best makeup tools to get the job done, such as the best foundation brush, which can be used for highlighter and blush as well!

Q. How do you use a highlighter palette?

A. Hey Lovely! Before you put on any highlighter, make sure you have the best shade for your skin tone! You also must properly prime your face, just as a painter must prime his canvas before he makes a masterpiece! After you apply your face primer, foundation makeup, and concealer, it’s time to start applying your highlighter makeup. 

1. First, you’ll start off with your base highlight. Using a medium shade, use a fluffy highlighter brush to apply the face highlighter to the middle of your forehead, underneath your eyes, above your eyebrows, and on your chin. Then use the same brush to blend the next lightest shade into the edges. This technique will ensure your face is glowing all around! 

2. The next step is to grab your angled highlighter brush to apply a more precise highlight to the bridge and tip of your nose, the spot right above your upper lip, high up on your cheek bones, and right under the outside edges of your eyebrows. These more precise highlights, especially the ones on your cheekbones, will help lift your face. You can use a fan brush too!

3. Finally, add some color! Grab the most pigmented shade, whether it’s pink blush, red blush, or peach blush, and apply it right above your cheekbones with a blush brush. Adding a colorful highlight will not only lift your cheeks, but it will also give you a beautiful rosy glow! Have fun experimenting with your new highlighter palette!

Q. What are the best eyeshadow palettes?

A. As all makeup gurus know, the best eyeshadow palettes allow you to get creative with your glow up! Whether you prefer nude eyeshadow palettes, pastel eyeshadow palettes, or super colorful eyeshadow palettes, the purpose of eyeshadow is to express who you really are through any eyeshadow look you can dream up! Most palettes include gold eyeshadow, pink eyeshadow, white eyeshadow, brown eyeshadow, and even black eyeshadow because those are typically the colors you’d want for a simple eyeshadow look. 

However, if you want to try out a more bold eyeshadow look, the best eyeshadow palette for you would include blue eyeshadow, red eyeshadow, green eyeshadow, yellow eyeshadow, and even orange eyeshadow, which is perfect for more colorful eyeshadow looks! You can even get color themed palette, like a bold purple eyeshadow palette. You also want to have an array of varying finishes, like matte eyeshadow, shimmery eyeshadow, and sparkle eyeshadow. (P.S. We’ve got some amazing duochrome eyeshadow if you want to go for a super bold look!) So, the best eyeshadow palette for you really depends on three things: your skin tone, your style, and how bold you want to be! Don’t forget! If you’re new to the makeup world and you’re not sure how to apply eyeshadow, there are an endless amount of eyeshadow tutorials out there just for you! Just have fun with your eye makeup and bring out your inner makeup guru!

Q. Which lipstick palette is best?

A. Cutie, the best lipstick palette depends on you! Although all lip palettes definitely need to have highly pigmented and long lasting lipstick, the lipstick shades depend on your skin tone and your style! There are lip color palettes that will best suit your shade of skin, but you obviously don’t have to adhere to those! You can get a bright lip palette and go bold with a red lipstick, girly with a pink lipstick, more serious with a nude lipstick, or super bold with purple lipstick or even black lipstick! The best lipstick palettes typically will include all of these luscious lip colors. You can also decide if you want a more shiny satin lipstick or a bold matte lipstick. The choice is yours, and the possibilities are endless when it comes to finding the perfect lip makeup for you! Now, go find a lovely lip palette that will turn you into the Lipstick Queen!
