These KyShadow Palette Alternatives Are Everything

by Jessica Thomas

Major major news hit the beauty world today when Kylie Jenner announced she's releasing KyShadow, a new eyeshadow palette. If you're living under a rock (or just don't follow the world of Kylie Cosmetics like a hawk), you should know that this is huge news for the teenage cosmetics mogul. Given the success of her lip kits, this latest product offering from Kylie Cosmetics is bound to sell out fast. Although I know I'll be hitting refresh on kyliecosmetics.com come 3 p.m. PST Tuesday, I know if I don't hit "buy" super quickly on the KyShadow it'll likely sell out. So I've got to have some alternatives, and these KyShadow palette alternatives to shop if you're afraid you won't be able to get one are super clutch.

Jenner's KyShadow palette includes nine bronze-ish shades, seven of which are matte and two of which are are glittery. Ranging from a neutral base shade to a deep brown one to use for highlighting and defining your eyes, the nine shades are designed to make the perfect bronze smoky eye. And if Jenner's snapchat tutorial of her using the eyeshadow palette is any indication, this palette is going to create a seriously striking smokey bronze eye.

How great are those shades? The range is amazing, and the shades all go on nicely pigmented.

As amazing as the KyShadow bronze palette is, we have to face reality here — not everyone is going to get one when the first round of palettes go on sale. If you're not one of the lucky few, these perfect KyShadow dupes will tide you over in the meantime.

1. Treasured Bronze Palette

2. Amber Times Nine
