Pat McGrath Labs
Mothership V Eyeshadow Palette - Bronze Seduction, $125 at Sephora
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.

Catrice
Paradise Desert Eyeshadow Palette, $14.99 at Ulta
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.
