YSL Beauty Multi-usage Palette Collector Sparkle Clash Edition, $129.

This iPhone-sized stunner may be all you need for the party season. It boasts four eyeshadows in wearable shades of plum, gold, bronze and pink, two lip colours – red and nude – that can double as blushers, and a highlighter with pink and gold undertones to brighten sallow skin. The icing on the cake: its festive, sparkly ombre gold-and-silver case.

Tom Ford Beauty limited-edition Soleil Eye and Cheek Palette, $217.

The ivory-and-gold case houses a blusher, a highlighter and four eyeshadows that function much like Instagram filters you can apply. Choose from two variations: sultry Warm, which has a peach blusher and earthy eye colours, and icy Cool, with pinkish hues such as a highly flattering rose gold.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit – Surreal Light, $140.

Whether you’re stepping out a la Kardashian, makeup-wise (contoured jawline, highlighted cheekbones), or gunning for a natural-looking glow, this lets you achieve it. Use the five powders (which includes a setting powder) individually to brighten, highlight and contour for a glamorous look, or swirl everything together for a wearable peachy blush. We love how comfortable the finely milled powders feel on the skin.

Elizabeth Arden Fall Color Makeup Palette, $119.

Serial over-packers will love this, which covers all bases and then some. It even comes in a matching clutch that holds additional items and lip colour options. In all, the set comprises: a whopping 10 eyeshadows in colours ranging from teal to taupe, a rosy pink blusher, a highlighting powder, a black eyeliner, mascara, three lipsticks (in berry-red, coral and pink), three lip glosses (in coral, peach and fuchsia), a threepiece brush set, and an eye and lip makeup remover.
