Ah, fall: The season of knee-high boots, cozy cardigans and pumpkin spice lattes is upon us. And you know what it's brought with it? A whole host of seriously gorgeous eyeshadow palettes. There are perfectly curated quads from Shiseido, "sultry" offerings from Anastasia Beverly Hills, fun new Maybelline palettes that may or may not have appeared on the Met Gala red carpet — the list goes on.
Seriously, there's an embarrassment of riches right now on the eyeshadow palette scene, so if you're in the market for something new, keep on reading. We've rounded up 15 of our very top picks.

Stars like Scarlett Johansson and Thandie Newton rocked this palette to glorious effect on the Emmys red carpet. Take a look at their makeup from the night and you'll get a pretty good idea of just how versatile this palette is. The pinks and corals are about as high-impact and arresting as they come and they're perfectly complemented by a lovely curation of bronzes, golds and warm browns.
We're in love! This palette is home to a veritable rainbow of shades, perfectly coordinated to create a wide array of gorgeous eye looks. Focus on the upper right corner for a sunset-hued smoky eye, or the bottom left corner for a fun, vibrant purple look — the options are endless. The color payoff is great, especially on the shimmery shades and there are enough neutrals included that you can use the palette for daytime looks too.
The glittery shades in this palette are so pretty it's not even fair (and the buttery mattes ain't too bad either). Plus, since this new option features cool-toned shades, you don't have to feel guilty about adding it to your growing collection of Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow palettes.
Shiseido recently relaunched and reformulated its entire makeup collection and the new-and-improved eyeshadow palettes are gorgeous. We're especially enjoying the Jizoh Street Reds quad with its wearable red, orange-y gold and two neutrals — it's absolutely perfect for fall.
