Chili peppers, pyrotechnics, and citrusy fruits have all been muses for warm-hued palettes like the cult-favorite Heat iteration of Urban Decay's Naked Palette and a few celebrity-designed versions (looking at you Fenty, KKW Beauty) as well. While not necessarily what you would call an everyday color, orange eyeshadows get enough wear to rack up thousands — in some cases, hundreds of thousands — of Sephora "loves." They're also surprisingly perennial.

All are covered in the widely loved and highly rated orange eyeshadow palettes to follow.
