Makeup trends may come and go (and nothing against ’em, we love ’em), but there are certain looks that are just quintessentially classic and timeless. Think a red lip, a graphic black cat eye, a sheer pink nail—you get the picture. And when it comes to eyes, a natural, nude shadow falls on that list. No matter your skin tone or eye color, nude shadows always look great, not to mention that they work for, quite literally, any and every possible occasion.

We’ve put together the very best neutral eyeshadow palette small of all time! With these best small neutral eyeshadow palette and best neutral everyday eyeshadow palette, you can create any look, from cut-crease to smokey and everyday to party.

Natasha Denona Glam Eyeshadow Palette

Is any eyeshadow palette review ever complete without a Natasha Denona palette? I don’t think so! Starting off these neutral eyeshadow palettes, we have the beautiful Natasha Denona Glam Eyeshadow Palette!

Glam indeed, this palette is perfection in every way and a bestseller too. With 15 cool and neutral shades, it’s the ideal palette to create a neutral eye look.

A cute and useful add-on to the glam palette is that the shades are labelled to help you create the perfect look.

You don’t need to be a pro at applying eyeshadow, the palette tells you exactly what to do with names like ‘outer eye lid’ and ‘crease’.

Tarte Tartelette In Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette

The Tarte Tartelette In Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette is a favourite by many. Just looking at the palette you can understand why. It has all the neutral shades you would need for a smokey eye look or an everyday simple look. If you love your neutrals, you will love this palette, it’s simple, has lovely shades and has amazing quality!

All of the shades in the palettes are really useful. All too often we use only a few shades in a palette, leaving some completely untouched. Well, that’s not the case here. Each and every shade is beautiful and useful! The palette is long-wearing and made with Amazonian clay to prevent smudging and creasing. It’s also dermatologist and pathologist tested. Tarte Tartelette In Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette is cruelty-free.

NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Shadow Palette – Warm Neutrals

When it comes to affordability versus quality, NYX makeup is all the way up there! Their makeup is top quality, while they are still relatively affordable.

NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Shadow Palette in Warm Neutrals comes with 16 neutral shades. They are warm-toned, as the name suggests, so while they would work with all skin tones, this palette would look best on warm skin tones.

Small enough to fit in your handbag, yet big enough to give you the full eyeshadow package!

Honest Get It Together Eyeshadow Palette

This earns our vote not only because the colors are super pigmented (meaning a little goes a long way) but also because it features both lighter and deeper nude tones, even ones that can be used in place of eyeliner. There are shimmery, satin, and matte finishes, all of which are nicely blendable, too.

Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette

Prefer that nothing even remotely resembling shimmer be on your lids? This palette is for you. The dozen matte, nude shades are inspired by human skin tones, offering something for everyone, says Cantor, who is a fan. The buildable formula also has superior grip and minimal fallout but still offers extreme blendability, he adds.
