Eyeshadow palettes.
For beginners, eyeshadow palettes are a great choice; they come in a wider variety than contour palettes and often include shades suitable for contouring-such as earth tones. These are a classic essential, serving the dual purpose of contouring and eyeshadow application.
Contour palettes are primarily designed to sculpt facial features and add visual dimension, whereas eyeshadow palettes are intended for eye makeup, offering a broader range of colors and higher pigmentation.
