You know what they say about diamonds — they're a girl's best friend. And while they certainly dazzle when they're adorning your ears, neck, wrist, and fingers in jewelry form, who wouldn't want more of the precious sparklers in any form possible? That's what makes LORAC’s new LUX Diamond Palette especially exciting. The brand's newest pro-palette is packed with stunning eyeshadows in versatile, super-wearable shades, that just so happen to be infused with actual honest-to-goodness diamonds. You're about to meet your makeup shelf's new BFF.

LORAC's PRO palettes are the stuff of beauty buff's sweetest dreams. The iconic shadow formulas, known for delivering buttery smooth, high-impact color that blends seamlessly, are found in pro artist's makeup kits and on everyday beauty enthusiast's shelves the world over, and with good reason. Naturally, the brand's newest palette packs the same universally adored formula in 20 stunningly shimmery new shades, but with one very luxurious update: real diamond dust.

The LORAC LUX Diamond Palette, $39, is now available in Ultra stores and online on Ulta.com and LORAC.com to prove that diamond's are a girl's best friend even in makeup form. The 20-shade palette, which features velvet matte, diffused shimmer, and diamond shine finishes, receives an undeniably glamorous dose of sparkle by way of 100-percent real diamonds. Seriously.

The super-pigmented shadows, which are designed to deliver easy-to-blend color that's impactful in a single swipe, feature LORAC's LUX Diamond Dust — aka cosmetic grade, sustainably sourced, conflict free diamond powder that's super-finely milled for effortless application and dazzling, light-reflecting shimmer from every angle. On top of that, the pressed shadow palette is infused with skin-soothing camomile, cornflower, and cucumber extracts that help soften the shadows for tug-free blending and hydrate lids throughout wear.

LORAC's palette offers up long wearing, stay-true shades (they're infused with amino acids to ensure color-purity that lasts) ranging from wearable neutrals like cream, taupe, tan, and brown in velvety, buttery mattes, shimmery colors like pearl, champagne, and gold, plus the eye-catching diamond glitter hues like copper, pink, and silver. Basically, it's got every shadow you'd want for easy day eyes to more striking night-out looks (bring on the sparkle). Try wearing a single diamond shade alone across your entire lid for a modern take on shimmery eyes, or add just a hint of sparkle to a fresh update to your smokey eye.
