Are These The Coolest Eyeshadow Palettes Ever?

By BR Kellie

Bye-bye sunset orange.

See you later radiant reds.

Have a nice life pretty pinks.

There's a cool kid in town and they're getting ready to rule (or in some cases have been ruling on the down low for quite some time...).

Okay, that's all a bit dramatic, but it's true enough to say that in the land of beauty trends come and go, and we're seeing the trend for warmer toned eyeshadow palettes slowing down as finally, after a long time in the cold, the spotlight is being shone on cooler toned eyeshadows.

So what's out there? What's hot... er, cool... er, ykwim... 

Check these pretties out!
