If you could use one pre-made eyeshadow palette for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
If you could use one pre-made eyeshadow palette for the rest of your life, which would you choose? (See what I did there? You can’t cheat and choose one you created yourself!) Share!
Guerlain Turandot or Urban Decay’s Naked1. I think I could be pretty happy with either! I wouldn’t want to commit to a single palette for the rest of my life, but you know, if I had to.

NAKED2.
UD Naked 1
I’m going to go with UD Naked 1 as well. It’s versatile, suits my skin tone, and honestly, it’s the palette I really learned to do eyeshadow with. I could create endless looks with it!
Probably Urban Decay Vice 2. Anything with less variety would bore me after a week.
Lorac Pro palette, for sure! -Terese
Naked 2. It has all the basics for me and it’s pretty much the only one I’ve used the past few years. BUT I just bought UD Electric palette and I’m ready to venture out and try some new looks. 🙂
I have to chose Naked 1 as well. It’s so versatile.
**choose
Naked 1 or The Anniversary Palette by Urban Decay.
Hands down, Urban Decay’s Naked 2. I can create a great range of looks, it has some solid basic shades, and the shadows wear so well on me.
Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette, I mean come on, right? 😉
This is so hard, but I’m gonna have to go with my Naked 2. It was my first palette, and still the one I reach for every time I don’t know what to wear. I love it so much!
Too Faced Boudoir Eyes palette. Even though it doesn’t many colors as other palettes have it has my favorite taupe colors to use and also some nice purply shades and I can do an array of looks from natural to smoky and dramatic. I love that I can travel with it and have all the colors I need. Whenever I use it my eye shadow looks amazing. Its one of the few palettes I’ve actually hit pan on and plan to repurchase.
I totally agree. That was the first palette I ever bought and I’ve had many more since, but that’s still the one I keep going back to. No matter the color combination, it always results in a great look.
Guerlain Ecrin 4 Couleurs in Les Fumes/Turandot, Tom Ford Eye Color Quad in Burnished Amber/Cognac Sable, or Urban Decay Naked 1. 🙂
Oops! I forgot to include Chanel Ombres Matelassees in Charming. 😀
Urban decay naked 3…not an original choice I know.
I’d pick the Lorac Pro palette. Perfect mix of textures and gorgeous nude shades.
Probably Naked 1! Mayyybee Lorac Pro palette too.
Speak no such evil, Christine.
(Too Faced Naked eye, maybe?)
Committing to one palette isn’t something I’d ever want to do. However, I had to choose today, it would be the MAC 15x Cool Neutral palette. It pretty much covers the bases with wearable color variety (it’s really one of the few palettes from which I can wear each and every shade without issue).
I’d pick Naked 3. I just bought it and I’m in love with pretty much every shade. If you’d asked this question last week I wouldn’t have had an answer. But I’m happy to say I do now!
Uggh that’s tough. Naked 2 I guess. It’s a little easier to wear all the time with my fair/cool skin, although I love my Naked 1.
I think it would be the 28 Color Neutral Palette by Blush Professional/BH Cosmetics.
UD Naked Basics. I pretty much wear only neutrals on my lids anyway.
i can never commit to a single palette!! No matter what!! My palettes shall go to my grave with me (LOL!)
L’Oreal Color Riche quad in Eau de Rose
I would have to say Naked 2 based on how much I’ve used it so far. Even though I’m currently loving Naked 3 I still reach for 2 quite a bit. I could spend my life in taupe, sure!
Probably I’d choose the Sleek Storm palette. It has a matte highlight shade, a matte black, some neutrals, and some beautiful dark shades for a color smokey eye. I love Naked 2 too, More limited to neutrals but gorgeous shades.
I think ill go with Edward Bess Cosmic Bliss palette. Its never talk about much but its gorgeous and really good for someone who does not like much color on their eyes, just beautiful glowy definition. I feel so beautiful whenever I wear it!
Based on what I have now (= not many palettes at all), it would be Urban Decay Naked 2. However, I would lie if I said I wouldn’t miss pops of bright colour, so I’m not sure my perfect palette has been found yet…
Urban Decay’s Naked 1 for sure! It’s the best of the Naked line
I am not a fan of the larger palettes; I prefer something like one of the Smashbox Photo Op Trios. Maybe Screenshot.
BareMinerals the power neutrals but I would be very sad!
Probably my Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. I love the color selection and the variety of finishes. I can easily create an entire look without having to reach for another shadow. I love it!
Guerlain’s Les Fumes or Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette (though the Tarte for Aqualilies is also tempting, though it’s not just eye shadows – it also contains face products; also, Naked 1 or 2 – I’d be happy with either of those in this horrible, oppressive land that would rid me of all my other beloved palettes!). WAIT – scratch all that – it would be UD’s Vice 2 (it has so many shadows that it would minimize the pain). Okay – Vice 2 or TF Chocolate Bar…it would be between those 2!
I just got the Kat Von D Monarch palette and am totally in love with it. The best part is that it has both matte and sparkly shades, so there are more possibilities than other palettes that are one or the other. The base colors are great, and the black and dark brown liner shades are perfection. The shadows themselves are triple-milled, so they’re super silky and fine. This is great for those of us with contact lenses, or people with sensitive eyes, since they’re less irritating than thicker pigments. I’m obsessed!
Definitely Urban Decay’s Naked 3; it’s the first palette I’ve found where every color looks good on me. To be honest, it’s the only palette I’ve used since I got it; I haven’t touched anything else. The rest of my palettes are lonely. 🙂
Lorac Pro Pallete!!!!
Though it’s not my “go to” palette, I’d choose UD 15th anniversary palette because it has a mix of neutrals and bold colors.
Isn’t that a great palette? I am so glad I have it but I need to remember to use it more often.
Nars, And God Created The Woman palette.
Nars Earth Angel eyeshadow duo or Clinique On Safari.
It would be a tie between theBalm Nudetude Palette and the Wet N Wild Vanity Palette.
I’d say the Coastal Scents: 252 Ultimate Palette. For the rest of my lifetime, I would need the variety. This palette covers it all.
Naked 3 palette. I would be satisfied with it but i wouldn’t be happy, but since neutrals go with majority of looks i’ll pick this.
LORAC Pro Palette
Urban decay naked basics
This is tough, but it would be between Urban Decay Naked 1 or LORAC Pro.
Out of the ones I own? Chanel Charming.
Tarina Tarantino dreamy palette! Or maybe violet storm from the aurora collection
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH. I’d have to search and find something that contained a really good taupe/taupe/bronze/brown/black/antique gold/pewter/grey/teal/plum mix, or I’d go insane. Preferably buttery mattes. Is there such a palette!?
I suppose if one were to come to mind… I’d probably go for something like…
Oh, dear. All my favorite eyeshadows are actually singles.
Let’s see… If I absolutely had to… maybe one of the Addiction by Ayako neutral palettes? Or Edward Bess Soft Smoke? Or a Le Metier de Beaute Kaleidoscope? I’d have to compensate by getting some really nice colored eyeliners and learning how to blend them out…
Naked 1..
LORAC Pro Palette
Naked 1
Lorac Pro Palette
Lorac Pro Pallet !
UD Naked or Lorac Pro. No question.
I honestly don’t think any palette out there would do for me. I’m not a huge fan of color so I’d need a mix of shades from both neutrals and colors and finishes. The LM Artist Palette for Christmas came close to being a great one for me, but I missed out on the sale!
Can I supplement with other shadows (like a highlighter and transition shade)? If not, one that hasn’t been made yet. I still haven’t found one that has the right combination of finishes, undertone and light/medium/dark shades.
Stila In the Know!!!
NARS And God Created Woman palette.
Cognac Sable by Tom Ford – the perfect neutral palette!
Lorac Pro. HANDS DOWN!!!
This is such a hard question. I will have to go with my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. I wish I could throw Naked 1’s Toasted and Smog in there though!
My favourite all time eye shadow palette is the Naked 3 one.It has all my
colours and is so easy to mix and match.Love it so much that I bought 2 of them.:)
Urban Decay Naked 2
This is tough! I use Naked 1 more than anything else, but I combine it with pops of color. I’d probably have to say the UD 15 year anniversary palette. It has gorgeous nuetrals, purples, and teals, the only thing it’s really missing is a good green.
As I am getting older I am wearing less exciting colors, and always use my Stila in the Garden palette. It lays on top of my naked palettes.:)
Sorry ladies but I think that I just might be the only woman who DOES NOT like or wear eyeshadow.
I just don’t care for it and I don’t know why.
Laura Mercier Artists’ Palette for Eyes from end of 2013–mattes and shimmers from light to dark along with the plummy shades I love.
This is a hard choice, but if I had to pick it would be between Naked 3 and the Too Faced Chocolate bar palette! I love these both so much, my other pallets are sad!
Guerlain L’Heure De Nuit ombre eclat duo & liner 383
Once I found this, that was it; I’ve never worn anything else for everyday wear. I don’t like looking like I wear makeup, and this is neutral on me, so it just makes my eyes look big, not all colourful or showy.
Unfortunately, they don’t make it anymore, but I bought one extra and put it away lol 🙂
UD Naked 1
Mac pro pallete premade in warm neutral
Probably the Naked Basics (Naked 3 was really close). I don’t have the Naked 1 or the Lorac Pro, but I have a feeling if I did I’d be pretty satisfied with them as well!
Naked 1, or mac 15x warm palette.
If I had to choose one palette to use for all occasions for the rest of my life, I think I would choose UD Naked Basics. It would be a natural look all the time but could be intensified. The colors are all matte and will be more friendly to crepey eyes as I get older. Not fun at all but would work for me.
Too Faced Chocolate Bar, Laura Mercier Artists’ Palette or Urban Decay Wizard of Oz Glinda, those have some good variety in them.
Bobbi Brown Smoky Eye Palette
Laura Mercier Artists’ Palette..I use this probably 5 days a week.
Urban Decay Naked 3 palette! I just love this palette!
Balm Voyage
Kat Von D Ladybird palette
That is really tricky! I would say it is either Dior 5 Couleurs Navy Design or Estee Lauder’s Film Noir.
I am also very partial to my new Urban Decay Vice Palette 2 as well.
For my green’s it would be Shiseido’s jungle palette.
Without hesitation the naked 2, it’s just beautiful!
Lorac Pro palette or Too Faced Chocolate Bar… my current favs
I think I would be pretty happy with the lorac pro palette. im pretty big on having enough variety of warm/cool tones so i dont think i could commit to a naked palette.
I think UD Naked 1 and Electric would be suffice for me!!
This was tough!! I guess I’d have to go with UD Naked 2. I could say the Lorac Box Office sensation, but kind of feel like that would be cheating LOL! I generally don’t buy a lot of premade palettes anymore. I have them, but don’t reach for them very often.
Ooh tough one! TF Chocolate Bar or or one of the UD Nakeds, 1 & 3 are my favorites.
UD Naked 1, hands down. I’ve got 2 & 3 but keep finding myself going back to 1.
Lorac Pro Palette….one of my favorite palettes ever created!!!
Clinique Pair of Shades Eye Shadow Duo in Angel Eyes. It’s been nothing but love with that Angel. They don’t make it anymore, and nothing has ever been able to be a dupe for the darker shade which I revere so highly. <3
I have a big-a$$ one that I got in a swap from a gal in Hong Kong. The quality isn’t great, but at least I’d have access to almost every color imaginable.
