When you want to add a little smolder to your makeup look — whether it's for a virtual date night, an evening out with your face mask on, or a big-time Zoom presentation, the easiest thing to do is throw on a dramatic set of false lashes and smoked-out (or bright) eyeshadow. When it comes to the latter, the key is to find a do-it-all palette that makes you feel bold.
Of course, there are a few things to keep in mind when choosing the perfect option: the shadow should be super pigmented, easy to blend out, and come with a wide range of deep, sultry colors that will help grab all the attention. Ahead, we've rounded up the sexiest eyeshadow palettes on the market that will make you feel hot, hot, hot — even if you're inside.
