Best Talc-Free Eyeshadow of 2025

“My palette arrived bubble wrapped and in perfect condition. The colors are very rich and a little goes a long way. I was very impressed by how pigmented they were. I used the first color as an all-over base, and while it looked pinky in the pan, it went on more neutral. The second color was great for the inner corners with a metallic pop, though I found it pulled more cool than I preferred. The third color blended well in my crease, and the final metallic bronze was my favorite - like golden honey.”

“I really like this eyeshadow palette. All the colors look lovely on and are easy to apply, giving a smooth finish. They definitely make my eyes pop.”

“These shadows are high quality and intensely pigmented. I bought the quad called Ballerina, and I absolutely love it. Despite having many palettes, I find myself wanting to wear this one every day. It’s very flattering for my over 40 skin, with just the right amount of shimmer that blends well and lasts all day.”

"This is my second eye shadow from this brand. They are as good as more expensive brands. The shadow applies smoothly, has good color, and stays fresh a long time. I'm now a fan of this brand."

"I was very pleased with this eye shadow. The color is soft and complementary. It goes on and stays on well, and there are so many colors to choose from, making it easy to find something I like at my age."

"I purchased the Smokey Plum shade. While it was the perfect shade of 'bruise,' it didn’t live up to the fantastic reviews. The application was uneven, and it wiped away quickly when blending. I found it lacking overall."

"I've been searching for this exact color palette for a long time! The colors work perfectly together, and the product itself is superb — it blends easily and stays on all day. Having it all in one case is ideal. I love bareMinerals eyeshadow!"

"This is my second time buying this palette — I've been very pleased with all the beautiful shades and the smooth texture. Once applied, it lasts all day, and I never have to touch up."

"I purchased the Heather set, and it is absolutely beautiful! I love how you can combine the colors in many different ways and adjust their intensity by layering. The packaging is nice, too, with a stretchy elastic band to keep it closed."

"I love how easy to use this eyeshadow is, even for someone like me who doesn't have a lot of skill. The colors are true to the pan and apply nicely without much blending."

"I mainly ordered this for the black shimmer color, which is beautiful. However, I noticed a fair amount of fallout, so I recommend applying it before your face makeup."

"I'm really pleased to have found this palette again. The colors are great for mature eyes, and I appreciate that they stay on well, especially when using a primer."

"This is probably my third time buying this eye shadow set. It’s my go-to because I love all the colors and how well they work together. The set lasts a long time, and as I get older with whiter hair, these subtle colors look great on my fair skin."

"I’m transitioning to EWG-certified products after learning about harmful chemicals. I found this larger eye shadow palette from Pacifica, which is safer yet offers so many choices. Whether I want a dramatic look for a night out or something professional for the office, this is a one-stop shop for eye color!"

"I’ve received this palette and immediately swatched it. I own many high-end palettes, but this one impressed me. The colors represent well for my cool-toned olive skin. The shimmers are sheer yet complement the color story beautifully. The fact that the shades don’t skew warm is a huge plus for me!"

"I was unsure about ordering this palette, but I’m glad I did! I usually prefer matte finishes, but this shadow lasts all day without creasing. I found the pigmentation to be just right. Definitely a nice product that I would buy again."

"This brand is new for me, and I'm really pleased! I bought both palettes, and this is my second one. The eyeshadow is easily buildable, allowing me to add intensity gradually. The colors are beautiful and finely milled, which works well for my fair skin and medium blonde hair."

"At 59, I wanted an eyeshadow that would brighten my eye area, and these colors are just perfect! The lighter shades have shimmer, which makes me extra happy. I'm very satisfied with my choice!"

"I was in a tough spot with sudden skin allergies around my eyes after using Too Faced eyeshadows, which I had been using for years. Thankfully, I discovered Ilia eyeshadow. This palette has been a lifesaver! I haven't experienced any flare-ups since I started using it, and my eyes feel so much better. The colors are beautiful, especially the gold shimmery one, and they're super pigmented with little to no fallout. I absolutely recommend this for anyone with sensitive skin!"

"This is my favorite eyeshadow ever! The color is highly pigmented and lasts all day. I find that the palette lasts a long time and is well-priced."

"I was initially unsure if I could achieve a smoky eye look with this palette, but I absolutely can! It's perfect for a warm, natural-ish smoky eye, which I prefer. As a beginner in makeup, this is my first eyeshadow palette, and I'm quickly becoming a huge fan of Ilia. The pigmentation is fantastic, and it’s like magic how it doesn't cling to the brush when I switch colors!"

"I was thrilled with the great price and trusted name brand of this product. The vibrant pigment doesn't bleed or fade, and I absolutely love the metallic shimmer of the palette. I felt glamorous wearing it! Applying and blending was easy, and the colors lasted a long time. They looked professionally applied and came off easily with micellar water. I'm definitely buying this brand and palette again!"

"This palette is simply gorgeous! The pigmentation is fantastic, though they do kick up a lot of product when used. Just a quick tap to remove the excess, and you're good to go! The reflective shimmers and smooth mattes make it easy to create both bold and soft, romantic looks!"

"I was really excited about this palette, but unfortunately, it arrived shattered. The packaging was inadequate, just a thin plastic sleeve without bubble wrap. However, I later bought it in-store, and I found the colors to be beautiful. The palette is decent for the price, but I prefer other brands for my olive skin tone."

"This product glides on smoothly and is perfect for senior women like me."

"I appreciate that these shadows don't irritate my eyes. They provide a finished look without appearing overdone."

"This palette is ideal for achieving the 'no makeup' makeup look effortlessly. I can also go heavier for a glam look. It's my go-to for travel!"

"I appreciate how highly pigmented these eyeshadows are. A little truly goes a long way. However, I found that they didn't blend easily. I always use an eyeshadow primer, so maybe that's why? It's unusual since I usually blend well with other brands. Additionally, I noticed that the colors in the rosey nude palette were a bit warmer than I anticipated. I have fair, cool-toned skin, and these shades leaned more orange on me than I prefer, so if you're also cool-toned, you might want to consider that. Still, I enjoyed the variety of matte and shimmery colors!"

"I decided to replace my makeup bag with healthier options, and I love that this eyeshadow is talc-free, making it safer to use. The color palettes are gorgeous, and I’m impressed that it lasts all day without fading!"

"I think Palladio's Natural Earth 9 pan palette has a great color story. The earthy colors are beautiful and not boring at all. I noticed that a few shades can be a bit chalky without primer, especially on my fair skin, but the deeper and shimmer shades apply beautifully, particularly with a finger. Overall, I believe that inexpensive makeup can look just as nice as high-end brands if applied properly!"
