Best Eyeshadow of 2026

"I've been using these eyeshadows for years and they're truly my favorite. The colors are perfect for my fair skin and blonde hair, and the darkest shade looks gorgeous on my lower eyelid. I love that it stays on all day and into the evening, plus the soft, glittery brown is just beautiful."

"I was a bit unsure when I first opened the package because the shades were more lavender and gray than the mauvey pink tones I expected. But after giving them a try, I found the colors to be sheer yet buildable, and they lasted all day without fading or smudging. Even though I'm not usually a fan of purple shades, these work well with my fair skin and blue/gray eyes. I'm tempted to try more shades, but I might check them in-store first to be sure."

"These shades are absolutely beautiful and they flatter my light skin and green eyes. I love using the middle shade as a sheer wash in my crease and the lighter colors on my lids for a bit of brightness. If you're looking for super pigmented eyeshadow, this might not be for you, but for a soft, buildable look that's friendly to aging skin, this palette is perfect. It's become my everyday go-to!"

"I’m amazed by how smoothly these shadows apply and the color payoff is fantastic. I work long overnight shifts and my makeup stays put the entire time. For just around five dollars, the quality is better than I expected. I’m not into low-quality makeup, but this palette truly impressed me!"

"I’ve used this palette for over a year, and even though I’m not a makeup pro, it’s so easy to use and super pigmented. The color combinations are perfect for my warm skin tone. Plus, at less than $4, I never feel guilty about experimenting. My only wish is that the lids were sturdier, but it’s my go-to for any occasion."

"The five shades in the 'Walking On Eggshells' palette are gorgeous and versatile. I love how compact it is for travel and the shimmer gives a beautiful finish. Whether I’m going for a day or evening look, this palette covers all my needs. For the price, the quality can’t be beat!"

"I was expecting a matte eyeshadow set that would fit perfectly with my collection, and although the size and shade matched my needs, I was disappointed to find that the finish was actually shimmery and not what I anticipated."

"When I tried applying the product, I found that the color barely showed up at all—it was almost like I hadn't used anything. The limited edition pink shade was especially underwhelming for me."

"I've been using this eyeshadow for years and it's still my favorite. The color selection is great, it goes on easily and comes off just as simply, plus it lasts all day. Delivery was fast and the packaging was secure. I'm thrilled with my purchase!"

"I always rely on Revlon, especially this eyeshadow palette. No allergic reactions, which is rare for me, but I did receive it with a chipped lid—still, I kept it because it's hard to find in stores now."

"What I appreciate most about this palette is the colors are beautiful and they blend well together. The guide on the back is super helpful for application. I consider this a great buy!"

"As someone who does quick, grungy looks and occasionally goes full glam, I find this eyeshadow absolutely perfect for easy makeup days. The pigment is buildable, longevity is impressive—even on my oily lids—and it even survived an unexpected swim at work! For a budget palette, this one really exceeds my expectations."

"This palette has become my daily staple. The shades are beautiful, pigment is strong, and they're so easy to blend. I love how I can do both day and night looks with it. There's a little fallout, but it's minor compared to the quality and price. Honestly, I reach for this more than my high-end palettes!"

"I tossed out all my other palettes because this one just does it all for me. The colors are gorgeous, they apply smoothly, and it even survived a drop without breaking. I feel like I don't need anything else now!"

"I’m obsessed with how bright and shimmery these colors are—they really make my eyes stand out. The formula is super easy to apply and I’ve had no problems with irritation, even with my sensitive skin. I liked it so much that I immediately purchased more shades."

"I love how the applicator glides on smoothly and the eyeshadow lasts all day. The color is natural but still gives a noticeable glow, and I just dab a bit on and blend with my finger for the perfect look. I only wish there were more shades available in stores."

"The pigmentation is fantastic and it dries quickly, staying put all day long. I appreciate that it layers easily over other shadows. My only minor gripe is that the bottle is quite small, so it runs out quickly if you use it often."

"As someone who usually sticks to neutral makeup, I was looking for an affordable yet high-quality palette—and this one is gorgeous and very wearable. The pink hues are flattering on fair skin, the colors are well-pigmented, easy to apply, and they last throughout the day. Using a primer does help with staying power. Overall, I love the neutral tones with a twist!"

"I recently dyed my hair purple and wanted shadows that would complement my green eyes. The creamy, muted shades blend beautifully, and though the glitters are more subtle, they add a lovely highlight. No irritation even after wearing them overnight, and the durability is impressive—my eye makeup looked freshly applied the next morning. I’ll definitely try more from this brand!"

"I bought the On Cloud Blue Palette as a gift and ended up loving it myself. The mix of pastel and deep blue tones is perfect for any mood, and the blend of matte, metallic, and glitter finishes is so versatile. The colors are highly pigmented and stay vibrant all day. Glitters can be a bit messy, but with a primer, they stay put. This palette is a standout for creative looks!"

"I've used these eyeshadows for years and they're truly the best for fair skin and blonde hair. The colors are gorgeous, especially the darkest shade, and they last all day and night. The subtle shimmer and soft texture make them my top pick every time."

"I have light skin and green eyes, and I find these colors incredibly flattering. I use the middle shade for a wash of color and the lighter shades to brighten my lids. If you prefer a more sheer, buildable look that's aging-skin friendly, this is an ideal choice. Definitely planning to repurchase!"

"I was a bit unsure about the color differences compared to the pictures, but I ended up liking the soft lavender and gray tones. The shades are sheer but buildable, and they wear well all day without smudging. For someone with fair skin and cool undertones, these colors worked better than expected."

"I've stuck with this eyeshadow for decades because the formula is consistently creamy, natural-looking, and long-wearing. The neutral shades suit my brown eyes perfectly, and I can even use it for contouring or highlighting in a pinch. I just wish they’d swap out the lightest beige for a deeper brown, but overall, this palette has never let me down—even after all these years."

"As someone with sensitive eyes, I’m usually unable to keep eyeshadow on for long. But with this Revlon cream palette, my eyes don’t feel irritated, and the colors are soft and wearable. The palette is mostly matte with a subtle shimmer, and the mirror inside is fantastic. I recommend using a primer to prevent creasing, but otherwise, it’s comfortable for all-day wear."

"Now that my eyelids are a bit droopy, this has become my go-to daily palette. The brown shade works beautifully all over, and the shimmery pink adds a fresh, dewy look. It’s quick, simple, and holds up throughout most of the day, giving me a more youthful appearance."

"I absolutely love how this eyeshadow gives my eyes a gorgeous, luminous shine without being chunky or over-the-top. The formula is super smooth, applies effortlessly, and stays put for most of the day, even through long events. It’s perfect for both subtle and dramatic looks, and I’ve had no issues wearing it with my contacts. The only thing I wish is that there was more product in the container for the price, but the quality is unbeaten."

"As a makeup artist, I used the Space Cowboy eyeshadow on a bride and it was truly magical. The soft, sophisticated shimmer made her eyes glow beautifully for photos and in person, and it lasted from the ceremony through the reception—no fallout or fading even after tears and dancing! My bride felt confident and radiant all day."

"The champagne shimmer is delicate and versatile—it looks fantastic layered over other eyeshadows, adding a subtle shine that catches the light. It’s not for full coverage but complements any look. I’ve even tried it on my cheekbones for a soft highlight. The only minor downside is that, like most glittery products, it can smudge if touched, but it’s still ideal for a night out or shorter wear."
