The Eyeshadow Palettes You Need This Fall

by Jessica Willingham

Fall is (almost) officially here, and that means it's time to bust out all your favorite fall makeup, from cool browns, to warm oranges, to deep olive greens. If you're looking to shop the best eyeshadow palettes for fall, full of your favorite colors, look no further.

Eyeshadow palettes can be tricky. It's a bit like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates — you really never know what you're going to get and there's almost always one shade that you never touch. It's totally cool, I understand. I've spent money on popular palettes only to realize they were a total waste of money because I'm not using half the shades available.

When it comes to eye shadow palettes for fall, I try to find a mostly neutral palette with pops of signature fall colors like orange, green, and brown. Warm shades look beautiful with whatever sweater or scarf you choose to rock, and gold and red hues are very popular. However, the biggest challenge is finding a palette that compliments your skin tone, isn't sold out, and has enough colors to justify the cash you spend.

Below are seven of my favorite fall-based palettes that will take you from back-to-school to Thanksgiving and beyond.

1. Morphe 35O Palette

Full disclosure: this beautiful beauty tribute to autumn is currently sold out. But no worries: it's a permanent member of the Morphe family and is back up for grabs later this month.

2. Kat Von D Shade Light Eye Palette

A great, neutral everyday palette with plenty of matte shades. That rusty red earth tone is gorgeous for fall.

6. Urban Decay Naked Smokey Eyeshadow Palette

7. Anastasia Beverly Hills Artist Palette

If you aren't quite ready to give up your blues for the autumn, this one is for you. You still have a gorgeous, dusty orange color mixed in with an electric yellow.
