10 best face palettes to streamline your make-up bag

If you’re shopping for a face palette that covers all make-up bases, this Sculpted by Aimee palette combines eyeshadow, setting powder, highlighter, blush and bronzer, all wrapped up in a gorgeous gold compact with an application mirror. Helpfully, the use for each shade is stamped on the separate powders, too.
Whether you’re a make-up expert or unsure where to start, this palette is incredibly easy to use. We tend to use the three shimmery and matte eyeshadow colours to add definition and texture to lids, while the silky soft transparent setting powder is ideal for adding a matte finish to concealer or foundation. The pretty pink blush has a cream effect and can be layered with bronzer and highlighter or worn alone.
Adding this palette to our product line-up made our morning routine quicker, and top-ups throughout the day were easy to apply, too. A palette featuring a whopping eight different blush shades, this pick has both matte and shimmery options to choose between. As such, there are two pastel colours that double up as a highlighter and blush – we popped them on our cupid’s bow and in the corner of our eyelids, too.
From tan to peachy, classic pink and earthy, the shades are varied. We found the powders to be lightweight, making them buildable. There’s no application mirror included but, with this palette coming in at less than a tenner, we really can’t complain.
While, technically, this is an eyeshadow palette, we used its three sparkly colours as a dot of highlighter on cheekbones and in the corner of our eyelids. There are nine colours in total, with five neutral and tan shades in matte, a vibrant gold and the three aforementioned shimmery options. This is a useful palette for day-to-day looks, with the lightweight powders delivering pigmented colour across our lids. The shades can be worn alone or together, and we applied them either dry or wet (seeing longer-lasting colour with wet application).
