Upgrade your autumn wardrobe with these perfect palettes
At Cult Beauty, we're passionate about palettes (aren't we all), and 'Back to School' presents the perfect opportunity to do some 'palette cleansing'. Say 'out with the old' and donate all your barely-touched edits in favour of stunning new eyeshadow wardrobes... helpfully, we've rounded up the latest (and the all-time greatest) offerings to tantalise your make up tastebuds!
Bringing the Parisian skyline to your make up bag, BY TERRY's {Bonjour Paris Palette} is beautiful enough to rival the Louvre's finest artwork — just gaze upon its sumptuous cream textures, ornate embossing and uber-blendable pearlescent pigment. A stunning curation of warm-toned hues, elevate your everyday look with this spectrum of twinkling copper and rose shades for that je ne sais quoi.
If you like creative license, keep an eye out for the launch of Hindash's {Beautopsy Palette}. Inspired by the make up master's background as a painter, this six-pan gradient palette of 12 universally flattering shades can be wielded as eyeshadow, blush, contour, highlight, eyeliner and brow powders. We love a multi-tasker... Join the waitlist to find out when it lands!
A full 'face' in one place, Charlotte Tilbury's {Nudegasm Face Palette} is a cute and convenient edit of butter-soft powders to sculpt, highlight and beautify eyes on the go. A non-negotiable handbag must-have, this gilded palette features four sensorial pans in champagne gold, rich umber, golden peach and sandy taupe tones.
Irresistibly autumnal (and aptly titled), Morphe's {35F Fall Into Fabulous Artistry Palette} spans the full kal-eye-doscope of soft, September shades. From juicy hedgerow hues to golden tones and burnished bronzes, this pro-grade palette features 25 iconic shimmers and 10 subtle, suede-effect transition shades to ensure eyes will mesmerise through autumn (and beyond).
The epitome of vintage glamour, Natasha Denona's {Retro Palette} is a 15-pan edit synonymous with rich pigment, seamless blend and longevity. Like looking at the iconic Glam Palette through a polaroid camera, this retro reimagination features high-pigment matte and metallic shades, ranging from dusty roses and romantic pinks through to deep plum, sepia browns, burgundy and mauve shades.
Spawning countless contenders, this palette's reign remains unrivalled. Undisputed QUEEN of the beauty scene, Anastasia Beverly Hills' {Modern Renaissance} has never stopped causing furore since launch. The perfect opportunity to gift yourself a slice of make up iconography, its pink velveteen case contains 14 soft, buttery powders in shades from soft pearl to deep brown via coral, pale petal and fuchsia. Versatile and pigment-packed, this is THE edit every self-respecting make up maven has to have.
