Pat McGrath Labs Blitz Astral Eyeshadow Quad in Ritualistic Rose (£55)
Call me dramatic, but I'm convinced you haven't experienced true beauty until you've felt the weight of a Pat McGrath eye palette in your hands. No one does colour quite like makeup artist and all round beauty-icon McGrath, reflected in the rich pigments of her makeup. This palette is a gleaming quartet of molten gold, bronze, and rose shades which can be worn alone, or combined for a synergistic look. They're best applied and blended with a fluffy shadow brush to cover the lid, or with a tapered detail brush to get nice and close to the lash line.
