WHAT ARE EYESHADOW PALETTES?
Eyeshadow palettes are curated collections of shades designed to enhance, define, and complement the eyes. They come in various finishes—matte, shimmer, satin, and metallic—allowing endless possibilities for natural, bold, or artistic looks. MAC’s Pro Palettes and Eyeshadow x9 & x12 palettes offer highly pigmented, blendable shades for all eye colors and styles.
