Seasons or trends notwithstanding, there's really no right or wrong time to shop for the best makeup palettes. It's always a thrill to see what new and wonderful offerings in the world of makeup are out there, and something about seeing fabulous color curations in equally pretty packaging, all laid out for you to play with, sparks our inner makeup artist.
The main draw of a good palette is that you have all of the shades you could possibly need for eyes, cheeks, and lips—all in one convenient place (beautiful shadows, exciting color combinations, different textures—oh my!). The marketplace is saturated with offerings from everyone from celebrities to makeup artists who've come up with their own collections too, so this is a great time to be on the lookout as you'll undoubtedly find something that tickles your fancy (and budget).
