It’s been a couple of weeks since the television show Euphoria completely stole our hearts, and to be quite honest—we’re still not over how glam each character’s face looked. Each and every Sunday, we continued to be blown away by the bright and colorful makeup on Zendaya, Barbie Ferreira, and Hunter Schafer. With Alexa Demie and makeup artist Donni Davy using a mood board filled with the likes of Showgirls and Nina Simone, how could they go wrong? Along with fellow makeup artist Kirin Rider, a phenomenon and cult following grew at hyper speed—a sea of bright, flashy looks were all over our newsfeeds and saved pins, practically overnight.
Don’t get us wrong, we’re definitely here for glitter, crazy lashes, and the occasional gluing of a few pearls on our eyelids. But we think the best Euphoria starter pack begins with eyeshadow that’ll step up any makeup look.
Below, we’ve rounded up the best of the best eyeshadow palettes that’ll keep you standing out through the fall!
1. Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Palette ($65)
This palette screams ‘Euphoria’ and nothing else. From its glittery browns to its intergalactic turquoises, there are about a million and a half reiterations of the show you could create. With immediate color payoff, you have 18 (yes, 18) shades in four unique textures: glitter, matte, shimmery pearl, and chrome to pay homage with.

5. Pat McGrath Mothership III: Subversive Palette Eyeshadow Palette ($125)
Mother Pat McGrath’s products could solely be used on the set of Euphoria, and we think that the Mothership III Palette is ideal for even the most grandiose of makeup ideas. Violets, blues, and greens saturate the lids while matte neutrals help fade the outer corners of any completed look.
