By 2019 was a great year for beauty products — we got to see the launches of everything from from a whole host of CBD skin care essentials, to some seriously seamless serum foundations. Of course, new makeup palettes are always particularly exciting, and big brands like Tarte, Pat McGrath, and Anastasia Beverly Hills delivered some options that were nothing short of amazing.
But, big names aside, it’s safe to say that there were plenty of other stunning palettes that were among the year’s finest.

From metallics to mattes (and big brands to small), these were the ten best palettes of 2019, according to expert makeup artists.
