Best Makeup Palettes of 2026

"I’m truly impressed by the velvety softness and wide color range in this palette. The makeup stays flawless all day, and as someone with mature skin, I appreciate that it doesn’t highlight my fine lines. I love being able to do my whole face with one product and still look great hours later. This palette has totally won me over."

"Being in my 60s, I’d almost given up on makeup because it always settled into my wrinkles. But after trying Laura Geller, I found the warm colors and easy application make me look and feel more confident. The shadows, blush, bronzer, and highlighter last all day and don’t settle into lines. Now, I actually look forward to doing my makeup each morning!"

"I wanted to add some glam to my daily routine, but I found the blush and bronzer a bit too intense if I wasn’t careful—they can look heavy or create harsh lines. The eyeshadows are lovely, though the pans are small. I still use the shadow shades, but I’d prefer more product for the palette’s size."

"I was a bit unsure because of what I’d seen on social media, but once I tried this makeup, I was immediately impressed. The colors are beautiful, the texture is light and bright, and my makeup looks so natural and fresh—even my daughter commented on how clear and glowing my skin looked! I highly recommend this palette for a radiant look."

"After searching high and low for a palette like this since my old favorite was discontinued, I’m so glad I waited. This palette is absolutely perfect—blends smoothly, lasts all day, and is definitely worth the investment. My only wish is that it came in a more compact size for travel, but overall, it’s a solid 10/10 in my book!"

"At 69, I was concerned this palette might be too glittery, but I’m amazed by the results. The blush, bronzer, and highlighters create a balanced, glowy finish, and the eyeshadows work beautifully with any eye color. The illustrated instructions on the back made application a breeze. I’m definitely buying this again!"

"I’m absolutely thrilled with this Laura Geller palette set. The colors are rich and blend beautifully, delivering a glamorous, polished look every time. I love that the palettes are compact and sturdy, making them perfect for travel or tossing in my purse. And the deal I snagged was incredible—three full-sized palettes for just $20! Highly recommend grabbing this set while it’s still on sale."

"These palettes are a fantastic pick for travel! I actually gifted one since I didn’t need all three, but I use the others daily because the shades are so natural and pigmented. They have impressive staying power and are ideal for everyday wear. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, versatile makeup set."

"As someone with mature skin, I’m really impressed by Laura Geller’s makeup line. The pigmentation is top-notch and I love that I can build the color from light to dark. Best of all, the formula never cakes or settles. This is hands down the best brand for mature skin I’ve found."

"I've tried a lot of neutral palettes, but the Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics is truly a staple in my routine. The taupe-based, cool shades flatter my skin tone and work for both day and night. The matte shadows are buttery, blend beautifully, and the compact size is perfect for my travel bag. I love how it transitions me from the office to after-work events. For me, it's a reliable, 5-star must-have for a natural, polished look."

"This palette is the best neutral eyeshadow I’ve ever used. The pigmentation and smooth application are top-notch, and I actually use all the colors—unlike other palettes. It even does a great job on my eyebrows and lasts all day. The only minor downside is that it's a bit overpriced for being so mini, but the quality makes up for it."

"I love how compact and perfect for travel this palette is. The muted shades blend easily with almost no fallout, and it gives me everything I need for both day and night looks. Plus, it's a great match for my green eyes. My only wish is that it came with an applicator, but that’s just a small inconvenience."

"This is the best palette I've tried for contouring my medium-light skin. It gives a really natural look, isn't chalky, and has hardly any fallout. I love that it doesn't settle into fine lines and the price is unbelievable for the quality. Highly recommended for lighter skin tones!"

"The bronzer shades are so soft and blend beautifully. It gives me a warm, natural glow that feels light on my skin. The packaging arrived in perfect condition and looks elegant. Great for everyday use!"

"Perfect colors that look great and go on smoothly. The price is excellent, so it’s a fantastic buy for anyone looking for quality on a budget."

"I've tried countless makeup brands, but Laura Geller's line truly stands out—especially for mature skin. The color blends beautifully, doesn't settle into fine lines, and provides fantastic overall coverage. I can't imagine going back to any other brand."

"I love how the bronzer and blush add natural color and a subtle glow to my look. However, the highlighter feels a bit much for my preference, so I usually skip it."

"When I ordered the medium shade, I was impressed by how well it matched my skin and how easy it was to use, even when I’m in a rush. The finish is so natural—it’s quickly become my go-to."

"The compact size of this palette makes it ideal for travel. I love how I can easily create both daytime and nighttime looks with these shades. With my light blue eyes, the shimmery pinks and coppers really make them pop. I might even prefer this mini to the full-sized palette!"
