There’s something exciting about an eyeshade palette. It is one of the best beauty investments mainly because the convenient little package contains a variety of pigments to play with. When it comes to nude or earthy eyeshade palettes, there’s no shortage of options, but finding the right one can surely be a task.

While hues such as taupes, beiges, and chocolate browns in a neutral palette might seem boring, these palettes are just like your favourite jeans – they’re versatile and they never go out of style. There’s so much you can do with earthy tones; you can keep it subtle or blend to brighten up your eyes or add some eyeliner for added drama. Nude eyeshadow also makes an excellent base to add graphic elements like winged liner, splashes of vivid colour, or glitter to create a visual masterpiece on your eyelids.

It is time to up your eyeshadow game with these 6 new palettes that are worth every penny.
