If there's one thing that there's no shortage of in the beauty industry right now, it's eyeshadow palettes. In the past few years, it's started to seem like every makeup company is striving to get at least one palette of their own on the market. Social media influencers and YouTube beauty gurus are also joining in on the palette pandemonium. Remember when Kylie Jenner's beauty line first launched and it was called Kylie Lip Kits? It focused on... well, lip kits - but then the eyeshadow palette industry just kept growing and growing, and boom! Kylie Lip Kits became Kylie Cosmetics and among the first releases are Kyshadow and Kyliner. Plenty of YouTubers have collaborated with a makeup brand to release an eyeshadow palette that was inspired and curated by them, including women like Aspyn Ovard, Jaclyn Hill, and Bunny Meyer. Myspace musician turned YouTube sensation Jeffree Star even managed to launch his own beauty product range that eventually expanded to include an eyeshadow palette. It's wild! With countless palettes available, it's hard to keep track of quite a few things. What brand does this one belong to? Which ones are limited edition releases? Which ones are only available online or at a specific store? Which ones have the best reviews? Ugh, honestly, it's even hard to keep track of the names of all of the different eyeshadow palettes. Even Sephora employees, beauty gurus, and makeup artists have to get confused sometimes - and they're the experts! There's no way anyone without some kind of experience or certification could name 40 different eyeshadow palettes... Right?
