Eyeshadows Over $10 | 2019 Editor’s Favorites
Eyeshadow palettes continued to be released in full force throughout 2019, but there were some higher-end single eyeshadows that caught my eye over the year. It was nice to see Pat McGrath singles launch earlier this year with some standout shades like Lapis Luxury and Divine Mink become available.
I’ve long been a fan of the more loose/pressed hybrid powder eyeshadow, so I enjoyed Tarte Chrome Paint Shadow Pots, Ciate Marbled Metals, and Touch in Sol Metallist Eyeshadows. MAC Vio-lit might be one of the most gorgeous purple eyeshadows ever released.
If you’re unfamiliar with how I like to do my year-end favorites, here’s the low down: I pull from the products I reviewed in 2019, regardless of whether they were new, limited edition, or an established range I’ve only just gotten around to reviewing. These are personal favorites, so they may or may not be the highest rated products reviewed during the year (though they will tend to be better rated, naturally!). (You can check out best of 2018 if you missed it.)
