This year we’re planning to party hard. The best colour palettes just call out to be worn for cocktails, nights out and beyond. Some are almost too pretty to use – the Chanel No5 limited edition eye palette is a case in point. But palettes can also be practical – a whole set of colours in one place (with Fenty’s Snap Shadows, you can even click two together). Go for feisty rose shades or autumnal bronzes and charcoals, with a hint of shimmer. We love a good cheek palette, too, or an entire face lighting-up system, like Hourglass’ legendary Ambient. And increasingly, palettes are more environmentally conscious, with brands like Hourglass and Glossier creating refillable versions. You could also opt for a complete brush set, to accompany those palettes that don’t come with their own applicators – try the Everyday Essentials Brush Set, €60, at www.sculptedbyaimee.com.
