A good neutral eyeshadow palette really is a girls’ best (makeup) friend! Reliable and versatile, a neutral eyeshadow palette is a must-have in your makeup collection, and will have your back for both your day and night makeup looks.

With so many eyeshadow palettes on the market right now, I’ve rounded up some of the best neutral eyeshadow palettes for any occasion below.

Best Neutral Eyeshadow Palettes

Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eye Shadow Palette

An amazing neutral palette that includes fourteen shades, with a mix of mattes and shimmers, perfect for taking your look from day to night. The shades are bendable and smooth and the palette comes with a double ended brush too. Burnt Orange (also in the Modern Renaissance palette – another amazing palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills) and Sienna are two of my most-used shades from this palette.

Marc Jacobs Eye-Conic Longwear Eyeshadow Palette – 720 Glambition

The perfect edit of matte browns and satin neutrals puts this one on my list of best neutral palettes. This palette is perfect for anyone who doesn’t need a really large shade selection. Being a bit smaller, it’s nice and compact so great for travelling with too, and it still has a great range of shades and finishes for both day and night looks. Marc Jacobs eyeshadow formulas are some of my favourite – so pigmented, buttery and bendable. This is definitely one of my must have eyeshadow palettes. If you love warm tones, 740 Scandalust is another great everyday eyeshadow palette.

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette

The Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette is a staple for so many people, and for good reason! It has a great mix of natural browns, delicate pinks and luscious plums in both matte and shimmer finishes, all enclosed in a cute chocolate bar tin. It smells like chocolate too!

Tarte Tartelette Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette

This warm neutral eyeshadow palette is full of 12 matte and lustre neutral eyeshadows, perfect for either a low-key daytime look or a sultry evening makeup. Infused with an Amazonian clay formula, these eyeshadows are bendable and long-wearing, all housed in a chic, portable palette with a beautiful floral design.

Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette

A matte neutral eyeshadow palette with a versatile array of true contouring shades, conveniently arranged in three colour quads -neutral, cool and warm. These eyeshadow formulas are velvety, bendable and buildable and wear well throughout the day. One of the best everyday eyeshadow palettes!

Too Faced Natural Eyes Eye Shadow Palette

Small and compact, but with everything you’ll need for your day-to-day glam, this is one of the best neutral eyeshadow palettes. This versatile palette contains nine neutral shades, with three of them being oversized based shades, all formulated with coconut butter for an ultra creamy, comfortable colour payoff. There’s also a matte version for those of who you love an all-matte palette.

Urban Decay Naked Reloaded Eyeshadow Palette

Remember the original Urban Decay Naked palette? Urban Decay has introduced a new palette to their lineup, complete with a universally flattering selection of high-pigment neutral nudes. It includes four larger pans of the base shades you’ll use the most.

Dior Backstage Eye Palette – Warm Neutrals

Another great little compact palette, perfect for travelling or to fit in your on-the-go makeup bag. This palette also comes with an eyeshadow primer that provides long-lasting hold and intensifies the effect of the colour that will be applied over it. The result is long-wearing yet richly pigmented, buildable colours with a second-skin finish. The size makes it one of the best travel eyeshadow palettes.

Nars Skin Deep Eyeshadow Palette

The ultimate palette of nude shadows created for all skin tones. This palette contains matte, satin, shimmer and metallic finishes, with four larger matte shades for your everyday, base look. This palette is limited edition, so grab it while you can!

Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette – The Sophisticate

A super compact cool neutral eyeshadow palette that will easily fit into your makeup bag – perfect for travelling or when you’re doing your makeup on-the-go. This is one of the best neutral eye palettes for travelling – it’s so compact and the shades make it perfect for creating a natural everyday look.

Tarte Clay Play Face Shaping Palette

Who doesn’t love a good multi-tasking product?! These 12 essential Amazonian clay matte eyeshadows multitask as universal eye, nose and brow shapers, and contour colours, which makes them perfect for defining and contouring your features. This palette contains nine neutral-to-smoky matte shadows with buildable colour, and three sculpting face powders contour a variety of skin tones.
