We know you’re already counting down to Christmas, because we certainly are!

The best part about Christmas for a beauty junkie is undeniably the fact that beauty brands are releasing all the new, limited-edition products that you want to have, pronto. One of the most exciting makeup products is definitely the eyeshadow palette – think the most outrageous, most glittery, most flattering, AND the most number of shades in one palette!

However, it can get a little overwhelming, considering that every brand is releasing an eyeshadow palette (sometimes even multiple palettes!), and you can’t keep track of what’s worth buying this Christmas.

We’ve rounded up all the newest eyeshadow palettes that will definitely put you in a festive mood. Whether you want to give them to a fellow makeup enthusiast, use the palettes only when you hit pan on your existing ones, or open them immediately for that extravagant Christmas makeup look, we won’t judge – go forth and gather all those beautiful palettes ASAP!

1. Innisfree Mood Up Party Palette

Whether you are headed to a family gathering or heading out for a Christmas dinner with your loved one, there are so many different looks you can create with these long-lasting, silky shadows!

What we also love is the fact that the palette also features blushes in 4 universally-flattering shades: you can either wear them separately or layer together to add dimension to your face for that extra glamorous photo you want to post on social media.
