Hey Beauties!
The art of makeup - it really is an art form - has evolved so drastically over just a few years. I might be showing my age but I remember that up until just a few years ago it was totally taboo and frowned upon to go outside the box with your makeup. Unless you were a professional artist or a serious risk taker, your makeup kit consisted of a range of neutrals and nudes with a gloss or maybe a red lip thrown in.
Over the last year or two it has become so much more acceptable and frankly more "mainstream" to break out of your comfort zone. For me it means I no longer have to wear the same taupe eye shadow everyday but I can break out the bright, bold shades of red, yellow, orange and pink that make my heart go aflutter!
What's even better is that it's SO much easier to get your hands on these vivid colours! I remember trying to hunt down a burnt orange shadow and having the hardest time! I eventually gave up and ordered one from Makeup Geek but now I have endless options and it means my dreams have come true!
While I may LOVE that there are so many options, I know it can be pretty overwhelming and seriously confusing to be faced with such a variety. So I'm breaking down the best warm toned eye shadow palettes for every budget to help you figure out what to buy!
