TRIED & TESTED

ZOE CRIPPS AND LYNNE HYLAND ON EYE PALETTES

ALDI LACURA EYESHADOW PALETTE IN DESERT RAIN £5.99, ALDI ★★★★★

LYNNE says: “This is very like the Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam palette, minus the £46 price tag. The shimmery pigments in Aldi’s version are very pretty and the ‘black’ proved to be a really wearable charcoal, perfect for a soft smoky eye. Grab it quick.”

MAYBELLINE NUDES OF NEW YORK EYESHADOW PALETTE £9.99, Superdrug ★★★★★

ZOE says: “I’m a sucker for a palette that comes with a mirror. This doesn’t, but I’ll make an exception for it, because it’s a great bargain buy. The nudes all have a lot of pigment, blend easily, and I’ve created three or four completely different looks already.”

NIKKIETUTORIALS X BEAUTY BAY PRESSED PIGMENT PALETTE £25, Beautybay.com ★★★★★

ZOE says: “If colourful eyeshadow is your thing then you’ll love this palette from Youtube sensation Nikkietutorials. The shades are so pigmented and transfer beautifully onto lids. I dipped an angled brush into the blue and used it over my black liquid liner, and the result was lovely.”

URBAN DECAY STONED VIBES EYESHADOW PALETTE £46, Urbandecay.co.uk ★★★★★

LYNNE says: “Stoned Vibes dazzled me with its sparkly case before I’d even opened it, and I loved mining the cavern of rich gemstone tones inside. Fabulous pigments and style.”

CLARINS OMBRÉ EYESHADOW PALETTE IN JADE GRADIENT £34, Clarins.co.uk ★★★★★

LYNNE says: “Sometimes I don’t even know where to start with a palette, but these sets make it simple. They come in six versions, and the four graduated shades have been cleverly picked, so you can blur from lightest to darkest without seeing the joins.”
