Wet ‘n’ Wild eyeshadow palettes are suited for those who are experimenting or have just started applying makeup. They have a range of four eyeshadow palettes in trios. The palettes’ names indirectly suggest the color effect or look you’ll end up sporting after application. Their palette Don’t Steal My Thunder is perfect for smokey eyeshadow makeup. But if you are looking for a neutral or nude eye makeup, go for Walking on Eggshells.
Coloressence eyeshadow palettes offer some interesting eye makeup colors to play with. From cool blues and earthy tones to greens and mauves, you get a wide range of eyeshadow palettes to choose from. The shades are perfectly suited for day makeup as they are subtle and light on the eyes.
theBalm is a US-based cosmetics company. The two three-shade eyeshadow palettes offered by it are perfect for getting that smokey look. If you have to choose which of these to go for, then first identify your skin undertone. If you are cool toned, opt for volume 1 else, opt for volume 2.

India’s leading cosmetics company, Lakme, has an amazing range of eyeshadows for personal use. You can use the four palettes for day and evening party makeup looks with ease. Desert Rose palette is great when you are stepping out during the day. For evenings, play with Silk Route and Smokey Glam. If you want a more dramatic eye makeup look, go for Tanjore Rush. Note that the 9 to 5 range is glitter eyeshadow palette and will work best when you pair it with not so glittery or shiny outfits.
If you are looking for premium eyeshadows on a budget, L.A. Girl’s eyeshadow quartets are just what you want. You get an amazing variety of color schemes to play with. From violets and pinks to browns and blues, every colour combination is available in this matte eyeshadow range. Of the 16 palettes available, three can be used for smokey eye makeup – Privatize, Polarize and Dramatize (use yellow for heightened drama!). The palette Tranquilize can be easily paired with any of your teal or turquoise-colored outfits, be it Indian or Western; whereas Glamorize can be teamed with your violet and purple outfits.
When buying eyeshadow palettes, keep in mind how you will match your eyeshadow makeup with any Indian outfit.
NYX’s Full Throttle range is full of bold colors and is ideally suited for evening makeup. If you want to make your eye makeup even more dramatic, just add glitter on the center of your eyes once you are done with the palette. The glitter will add to the dramatic look and make you stand out.
