I haven't much experience with eyeshadow so I'm not too good at it haha, do you have any recommendations for beginners? Singles, quads, duos, trios, palettes whatever. Also any tips? Thank you in advance.

What is your budget? And do you want more natural colors or bolder colors?

Jocelyne, I use more natural since I'm just staring out bolder colors scare me lol, and I'd like to keep it low budget thing but if I were buying a palette I'd get a lot of use out of I could buy more high end

I've been using eyeshadow for a while and bold colors still scare me lol From the drugstore I love wet n wild eyeshadows, 8 pan, trios and some of their single eyeshadows are great. I like maybelline color tattos, single shadows, quads/5, and loreal single eyeshadows. For high end my favorite palette is the too faced chocolate bar palette 49$. I also love the Lorac pro palettes 42$. Too faced also has eyeshadow palettes for 36$ that are also great. As for tips make sure you have a good blending brush. Look up tutorials on youtube and just experiment to see what looks good. And just practice (:

I think the small too faced palettes for $36 would be a good starter.

I really like the blending crease brush by It cosmetics brushes, the ones that they sell at ulta. Blends shadow so well and is only 14$

I highly suggest the Lorac Pro palettes, they're perfectly pigmented and blend super easily. They have matte and shimmer shades with a lot of neutrals and a few fun colors so if/when you want to try a new color you'll already have it (:

Morphe brushes 35W palette is amazing for beginners!! That palette got me going! It has the perfect transition, crease and lid colors! It has those neutrals but also has those few pop of colors when you want to go more dramatic! :)

Elf palettes, the Clinique quads are good for beginners, I say neutral though bc if Your a beginner you can't mess up too bad with neutral.

Definitely check out Too Faced. With their $36 palette it comes with little tutorial cards to help you create different looks. Its a worthy buy.

If you think you'll want to try lots of colors of eyeshadows you could try BHCosmetics! I love their stuff, and every time I look at their stuff it's on sale! I think their 88 palette is maybe.. 15$? They have littles ones, 88 ones, and I'm thinking 120 color palettes in matte & shimmer. :) plus great pigment.
