As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I believe one of the best parts of Pride Month is getting dressed in my rainbow best. For the entire month of June, you’ll find me decked out from head to toe in rainbow attire. Oh, and tons of glitter: glitter gels, hair sprays, etc. With that said, I’ve gathered my favorite rainbow eyeshadow palettes and wanted to share them with you to help us get ready for the best time of year. Whether you want to wear them to a Pride parade or if you simply just like to wear bright colors, these palettes will do just the trick.
Bodyography Pure Pigments Eyeshadow Palette
This palette boasts eight matte shades of every color in the rainbow. Use the included fluffy eyeshadow brush to buff the paraben and filler-free formula directly onto the eyelid. For a more intense color payoff, apply with a wet brush. The high-quality formula stays put all day and the generous pan size will last way beyond Pride Month.
NYX Ultimate Eyeshadow Palette
Choose from 16 matte, satin, shimmer, and metallic shades in this rainbow eyeshadow palette. Find light and dark shades of each color in the rainbow and easily apply the blendable and cruelty-free formula into the eyelid for a bright look ideal for Pride. Need a touch-up on the go? This pocket-sized palette can fit into a purse or bag so you can reapply without carrying a bulky makeup compact.
Morphe X Lisa Frank Palette
If you’re a child of the ‘90s, this palette will definitely speak to you. In true Lisa Frank spirit, this palette takes the rainbow to the next level with 35 shades suitable for any eye look for Pride and beyond. It has your neutrals but also works its way to the bold and bright colors of the rainbow. (There are even some neon shades thrown in there for those summer music festivals and Halloween looks.) To minimize the fallout, tap your brush on the side of the palette before applying.

Whether you’re looking for a rainbow look or a monochromatic eye, this palette will do the trick. Find a plethora of matte, metallic, and pressed glitter shades that easily blend into the skin and create a bright, whimsical effect.
