Makeup Palette Must-Haves

Makeup palettes are like a box of chocolates. Sure, it's good to have one chocolate, but seeing a variety of different chocolates wrapped up in a pretty package makes them seem even more delectable then they really are. Palettes take the guesswork out of color combinations yet they have enough variety to allow you to express your creativity by creating new looks. Which are the best palettes for summer? Here's a look at some top-performing makeup palettes.

Hilary Duff, Jessica Simpson and Jessica Alba rely on DuWop Eyes to make their eye color look more beautiful. The palette has customized colors for you based on your eye color. It comes with a base color, lighter and darker versions, gold or silver shimmer, and a matching cream liner. You can create a sheer and natural look for everyday wear, or add shimmer for a nighttime look. It's a great kit for someone with dazzling color eyes who doesn't know which colors to choose to make them stand out. It used to come in a cream formulation, but now comes in a velvety smooth powder finish. It makes your eye color look more intense and lasts all day. DuWop Eyes come in 6 shades: Blue Eyes, Green Eyes, Violet Eyes, Gray Eyes, Brown Eyes, and Amber Eyes. DuWop Eyes is available at Beauty.com.

Hard Candy's Princess Palette is housed in a chic case that features my favorite things: sparkly pink high heels, a tiara, pink chandelier earrings, a necklace and a bejeweled handbag.

The kit contains Princess Palette includes eye shadows in rich chocolate, dusty mauve, and shimmery champagne; blush in deep rose; shimmer in baby pink; and lip glosses in juicy watermelon and sheer berry. Then it gives you illustrated instructions on how to put on your princess party face. It shows you how to go from day to evening in a snap. This kit is a beauty powerhouse wrapped up in an adorable package. Available at www.hardcandy.com
