The Most Gorgeous Eyeshadow Palette Launches of 2025 So Far

One of my favorite makeup products to peruse is eyeshadow palettes. The color combinations, dynamic designs and rich pigments feel like a work of art before the eyeshadow is even applied. The modern-day makeup artist’s palettes are a thing of beauty, both in the package and on the eye. We’ve watched all the eyeshadow palette launches of the first half of the year trickle in, and these are our favorites taking up real estate in our minds.

The best eyeshadow palettes of 2025

Lancôme Idôle Café Crush Nude Eyeshadow Palette ($59)

As I’m typing this, I have a strawberry milk latte by my side, and I can’t help but notice the striking resemblance between my sweet caffeinated treat and this gorgeous eyeshadow palette. The palette was designed in collaboration with Sheika Daley—one of Zendaya’s go-to makeup artists. It has a delicate balance of mattes and glitters and warm and cool tones, so you can create a variety of looks. “Cafe Crush is my interpretation of a rich nude palette, designed to flatter all personalities. The perfect blend of neutral shades, from light to deep, infused with a secret ingredient only Lancôme knows: a strong pink kick,” says Daley.

Lisa Eldridge Desert Gleam ($62)

Lisa Eldridge created a palette of six “sensual, sandy desert tones,” and we can’t get enough. “Inspired by the golden tones of sun-scorched landscapes and the glamorous energy of Studio 54 and infused with a touch of modern grunge, this collection promises to deliver bold, effortless beauty for the season ahead.” While there neutrals to lean on in the palette like Dunes, Acacia and Sahara we’re especially taken with the shades that are like nothing we’ve ever seen before like Firefly, which we reminds us of a shimmering honey mustard in the best way possible.

Charlotte’s Palette Of Beautifying Eye Trends ($60)

These six eyeshadow palettes were launched at the beginning of the year, but we’re still mystified by them. Each of the limited-edition palettes features nine shades that are meant to work harmoniously together and were designed with the trends of 2025 in mind. Denim Dimension is a perfect palette for the blue eye makeup trend, while Sensual Sunset has must-have shades for the summer into autumn transition.
