Anastasia Beverly Hills built its reputation on professional-grade pigmentation, and this mini palette delivers that signature intensity in a denim-friendly edit. The nine shades span muted khaki, deep brown, shimmering gold, and cool-toned taupe — a range that lets you build a smoky eye without reaching for a second palette. Each swatch deposits opaque color in a single pass, which means less time layering and less product wasted.

The finish mix matters here: buttery mattes define the crease without skipping, while the high-shine metallics catch light without chunky glitter fallout. Because the palette is compact, the pans are smaller than full-size ABH offerings, but the powder density is identical. The integrated mirror is substantial enough for detailed work, and the velvet case prevents accidental opening in a makeup bag.

Reviewers consistently praise the blendability and the fact that the shades last through an eight-hour workday without fading or settling into fine lines. The only trade-off is shade range — you get nine carefully chosen tones rather than twenty experimental ones. If you want a versatile, travel-ready blue-adjacent palette that performs like a pro staple, this is it.

NYX’s Vintage Jean Baby palette leans into the denim aesthetic with 16 shades that run from faded indigo to deep midnight blue, plus supporting neutrals and warm browns for balance. The formula includes matte, satin, shimmer, and metallic finishes, giving you flexibility to create everything from a sheer wash to a fully smoked-out lid. At this size and shade count, the cost-per-shade is aggressive, making it a strong entry point for experimenting with blue tones.

The mattes require more building than premium brands — you’ll need two or three layers for full opacity — but the shimmers deliver a noticeable sheen with manageable fallout. Powder texture is on the drier side, so tapping off excess before application helps keep the base clean. Several reviewers noted that a few shades are labeled for face use only, so check the fine print on the packaging if you plan to use every pan on the eyes.

Staying power is decent when paired with a dedicated eye primer; without one, the lighter mattes may fade by the six-hour mark. The palette is slim enough to slide into a small bag, and the clear lid lets you see the full layout at a glance. For someone who wants variety without committing to a high price point, this is a solid choice.

ColourPop’s After Hours palette takes a different approach — it wraps cool nudes, smokey mauves, and rich burgundies around a blue-adjacent core rather than going full denim. The five finishes (matte, metallic, matte sparkle, pearlescent glitter, and satin) let you build dimension without needing a separate palette. The pigmentation is classic ColourPop: one swipe delivers opaque color that blends into a diffused edge without disappearing.

The formula leans soft and silky, which makes blending fast but also means a light hand is required to avoid overspilling the darker shades. The pearlescent glitter shades offer a refined sparkle rather than chunky chunks of glitter, so they work well for daytime wear. Some fallout is present with the looser metallic shades, but a primer catches most of it before it hits the cheeks.

Reviewers frequently compare the performance to luxury brand counterparts, noting that the wear time matches without the price premium. The mauve and burgundy tones pair naturally with blue-based looks, making this palette a smart add-on rather than a standalone blue option. If you want a palette that mixes blue-adjacent tones with everyday neutrals in a premium-feeling compact, this fits the bill.

Tintark’s Galactic Assemble palette is built for maximum metallic impact. The 14 shades are wet-pressed, which gives them a creamy, almost bouncy texture that deposits dense color without the powder cloud that dry metallics produce. Blue, silver, copper, taupe, and deep cosmic tones cover the cool spectrum, and the 3D raised pans are a visual standout on any vanity.

The wet-pressed formula is the key feature here: it delivers extreme shimmer payoff that stays visible for hours without creasing, but it demands a different application technique. A fingertip or damp brush picks up the most pigment, while a traditional fluffy brush tends to deposit a lighter wash. The palette includes upgraded bubble-bag protection in the packaging to prevent the pans from dislodging during shipping.

Reviewers rave about the boldness of the pigment and the unique celestial packaging, with several noting that the palette doubles as a thoughtful gift because of the included foil galaxy stickers. The trade-off is that this is almost exclusively a shimmer palette — there are no matte crease shades, so you’ll need a separate matte palette if you want depth in the outer corner. For pure metallic blue glam, this is tough to beat.

The Stone Cold Fox palette is the most comprehensive cool-toned offering on this list. With 30 pans — a mix of ultra-cool mattes and glimmering metallics — it covers every possible iteration of blue-adjacent eyeshadow from pale icy taupe to deep charcoal navy. The shade selection is designed to take you from a simple one-shadow wash to a multi-dimensional editorial look entirely within one case.

ColourPop’s pressed-powder formula here is notably silky and blendable, with the mattes diffusing into the crease almost on their own. The metallics are dense enough to be used as a lid wash with a flat brush, though pressing them on with a finger intensifies the shine. Staying power is excellent — reviewers report the shadows lasting through an eight-hour day with minimal fading, especially when used over a primer.

Given the 30-pan size, the palette is substantial and covers a full vanity footprint. The packaging is sturdy cardboard with a secure clasp, and the mirror is generous. The only real catch is that this palette is firmly cool-toned — if your skin leans warm, you may find the greys and silvers difficult to blend into a natural finish. For cool-toned lovers, this is the palette to beat.

Clinique’s All About Shadow palette is designed with sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers in mind. The 8-shade palette includes shades inspired by the brand’s iconic Black Honey and Pink Honey lip colors, translating into a wearable mix of nude, mauve, pink, and soft brown tones that coordinate with blue makeup without being blue themselves. This is a supporting palette rather than a standalone blue option.

The formula is finely milled and buildable rather than intensely pigmented in one swipe. The shades layer smoothly and blend into a soft wash of color that works for subtle daytime wear, but achieving a bold smoky eye requires deliberate building. The powder is crease-resistant and fade-resistant, and the lack of fragrance makes it suitable for those who react to scented cosmetics.

Reviewers appreciate the gentle formulation and the sophisticated color story, though some note that pigment lovers may find it too sheer for dramatic looks. The compact is slim and travel-friendly with a mirror that flips open easily. This palette is best for someone who prioritizes skin sensitivity and buildable wash of color over maximum opacity.

The Tartelette in Bloom is a cult-favorite neutral palette that works as a pairing companion for blue eyeshadow looks. The 12 shades are arranged in three rows of coordinating finishes — matte, shimmer, and satin — that take you from a fresh morning look to a sultry evening smoky eye. The Amazonian clay base gives the shadows a slightly denser texture that grips the skin and extends wear time.

Pigmentation is robust, especially in the matte shades, which blend into the crease without patchiness. The shimmers are refined rather than chunky, delivering a soft metallic sheen that layers well over blue tones. The palette has a subtle vanilla scent that many reviewers find pleasant, and the sturdy packaging includes a large mirror.

Being an Allure Readers’ Choice Award winner, this palette has proven staying power in the market. Reviewers consistently note that daily use for months shows minimal dips in the pans, indicating a densely pressed formula that resists crumbling. The neutral color story means it won’t provide blue shades on its own, but it’s an ideal anchor to pair with a dedicated blue palette for crease definition and transition blending.
