There were over 225 eyeshadow palettes reviewed this year, despite it being a “lighter” palette year, so clearly… the trend isn’t going to disappear anytime soon. OF COURSE!! I am going to include my collaboration palettes with Sydney Grace on the list (I just included the deep versions, but the light versions are just as much my favorites). There were a lot of decent palettes, but these were the 26 that I really enjoyed using!
If you’re unfamiliar with how I like to do my year-end favorites, here’s the low down: I pull from the products I reviewed in 2021, regardless of whether they were new, limited edition, or an established range I’ve only just gotten around to reviewing. These are personal favorites, so they may or may not be the highest rated products reviewed during the year (though they will tend to be better rated, naturally!). (You can check out the best of 2020 posts if you missed last year’s.)
