In last week's biggest beauty news, Kylie Jenner announced that she is now making eye shadows Kyshadows.

The first Kyshadow palette she launched is called The Bronze Palette, and it comes with nine different brown, bronze, and orange shades so you too can get Kylie's signature bronze-y eye look.

The only problem is, as beauty blogger Shannon ( Shaaanxo ) pointed out, Kylie's Kyshadow looks eerily similar to her Shaaanxo Palette with BH Cosmetics.

Fans of Shannon's turned to Twitter to weigh in on the controversy, pointing out the similarities between the two palettes. Not only do they both have the same shape and layout with nine shadows, several of the colors also appear to be the same shade in side-by-side photo comparisons.

Immediately after Shannon's fans starting tweeting, Kylie's fans came to her defense. How creative can you get with a bronze eye shadow palette, after all?

Luckily, when Kylie launched her palettes last week (which sold out in a minute, BTW), Cosmopolitan.com snagged one to compare the two to settle this madness.

Packaging

Contrary to side-by-side photos people have been posting of the palettes on Twitter, the Kyshadow palette (which is 4.25 inches in length and width) is actually smaller than Shaaanxo's (5 inches) in person. Because of that, the Kyshadow shadow pans are about a quarter of an inch smaller in diameter too. (Shout-out to my ruler skills.)

Shaaanxo's palette also has a handy mirror on the inside of the lid and, if you flip it over, another lid reveals a bonus palette with lip colors. Kylie's does not have either of those things, but her palette is magnetic and the shadows are removable (Shannon's shades are glued in), so you can customize your palette if you're a fancy makeup artist with a ton of shadows. (I found this out because I dropped the Kyshadow on the ground and a few of the eye shadows popped out but were super-easy to put back in.)

I was also able to pry out one of the eye shadow pans from Shaaanxo's palette to compare sizes, but her palette is not magnetic. Kathleen Kamphausen

Shadow Shades

At first glance, the layout of the palettes are pretty similar. In the top left of both is a matte cream shade and the bottom right is the darkest shade, with orange-y brown, bronze, and taupe shades scattered in between. I paired up shades that are most similar to each other and swatched them down my forearms using my fingers. My left arm was swatched with the Kyshadow palette and my right arm was with Shaaanxo's.

The main difference between many of the shades is the finish. Kylie's shadows overall are more matte and Shaaanxo's are much more shimmery. IMO, only four of the nine shadows could be considered dupes.

Quality

Kathleen Kamphausen

Shadows from both palettes applied really smoothly and blended nicely. A few of Kylie's shadows were slightly more pigmented (like the cream shade and the matte orange shades), but the shimmer shadows were comparable to each other.

Price

Kylie's Kyshadow palettes are sold for $42 and are temporarily unavailable because they're sold out, while Shaaanxo's are on sale right now for $15 (originally $22) and available for purchase immediately (remember you also get nine lip colors for that price).

Final Thoughts

Overall, I think the palettes are more like sisters than twins. However, if you prefer to pay less and get more for your money, the BH Cosmetics x Shaaanxo Palette might be the best option for you. If you're looking for a palette with more matte shadows and Kylie's name on it, then get on Ebay in line for the Kyshadow.
