Huda Beauty's new Mercury Retrograde Palette is an [astrology-inspired makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clairvoyance-makeup) set that's bursting with color. The new palette launched without warning and has already made a splash in the beauty world. The palette itself features 18 different shades, most of which are bold and bright, with a couple of neutrals thrown in for good measure. The hues also vary in texture, with a heavy emphasis on [glitter and metallics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-bento). Of course, the outside has to match the pop of color on the inside, so the packaging is equally as [out of this world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmic-teal). With shades like Supermoon, Karma, and Vortex, this is a palette you'll want to have on hand the next time Mercury is in retrograde.
