Regardless of whether you’re packing for an overseas sojourn, a makeup minimalist, or simply looking to add another complexion-boosting product to your beauty arsenal, an all-in-one face palette can pose the ideal solution. While we’re all familiar with eyeshadow palettes, the best all-in-one face palettes typically comprise blush, contour or bronzer, eyeshadow, and highlighter formulas, with some iterations also including a setting powder. Additionally, many all-in-one face palettes are also equipped with a mirror, so you can truly have everything you need in one place.
Ready to streamline your everyday makeup routine? These are the 5 best all-in-one face palettes to try.
1. Ciaté London Brazillian Glow Face Palette
Designed to create a glowy, bronzed look, the Ciaté London Brazillian Glow Face Palette contains blush, pigmented matte and shimmery eyeshadows, bronzer, highlighter, and a sheer glow powder. Available in Light Medium and Medium Dark, there’s an option to suit every skin tone and comes complete with a mirror.
2. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette
Ah, the infamous Hourglass palette. Typically sold out within minutes, the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette is a limited-edition release that combines the brand’s bestselling Ambient Lighting shades within one easy-to-use (and chicly decorated) palette. Each palette features two blushes, two finishing powders, a strobe (or highlighting) powder, and a bronzer. The iridescent shades work to highlight and subtly contour the face, resulting in a radiant complexion. While there aren’t any dedicated eyeshadows in the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette, the blush or bronzer shades can easily serve double duty by providing a wash of colour over the eyelids. Three iterations of the palettes are available; Elephant, Tiger, and Butterfly. Butterfly is best suited to fair skin, while Tiger and Elephant work on most skin tones. They’re never in stock for long, so ensure you get in quickly!
3. Mecca Max Game Face Everyday Eye & Cheek Palette
An unbeatable value proposition, the Mecca Max Game Face Everyday Eye & Cheek Palette is a budget-friendly option that doesn’t skimp on quality. Perfect for lovers of neutral tones, this compact palette houses four eyeshadows (both matte and shimmery), as well as a blush, bronzer, and highlighter.
4. Anastasia Beverly Hills Face Palette
Drawing inspiration from sun-soaked getaways, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Face Palette comprises a trio of face formulas, with a blush, bronzer, and highlighter designed to illuminate the skin and enhance its natural radiance. The palette is available in Italian Summer and Off To Costa Rica; for fair to medium and medium to dark skin tones, respectively.
5. Morphe Quad Goals Multi-Palette
An innovative take on the classic all-in-one face palette, the Morphe Quad Goals Multi-Palette forgoes the traditional layout in favour of a stackable quartet. Available in five variations, each set of four includes a soft shimmery eyeshadow, blush, lip tint, and a dewy balm for an all-over glow. Standout variations include the party-ready Violet Vibes and Stay Golden palettes, as well as the everyday Oh-So Nudie.
