Morphology
The compound combines 'eyeshadow' (cosmetic color for eyelids) with 'palette' (a board or selection of colors), so a learner who knows both words can readily infer it denotes a selection or set of eyeshadows. The metaphoric extension of 'palette' to mean a range or container of colors is common cross-linguistically and follows standard composition, making the phrase immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
The name eyeshadow palette comes from the idea of an artist's palette — a small tray or box with many colors to pick and mix. Here the colors are for the eye and the 'shadow' effect you paint on the eyelid, so the name means a single box or set of eye makeup colors.
