Are you settling in to 2020 yet? I just can’t believe that it is 2020 — a whole new decade. I can remember when we began the dreaded year 2000 like it was yesterday!

I digress. The new year means it is time to start anew. Fresh. It's time to clean out that makeup bag and freshen up your makeup drawers; now is the time to make room for everything new. With all of the new makeup launches, it's not hard.

As they always do this time of year, the makeup brands have been bringing it, especially when it comes to makeup palettes; there are so many new makeup palettes out! Makeup palettes are the perfect way to get a lot of makeup at a great value.

With makeup palettes that offer new or popular shades of shadow, great shades of blush, bronzer or contour, or even an entire face of makeup, there are so many makeup palettes that offer SO much. Here are 10 new must-have makeup palettes for the new year that have caught my eye for 2020.
