When you think of eyeshadow palettes for college, you want versatility, high-quality, and practical eyeshadows. One solid eyeshadow palette is truly all that is needed to achieve anything from a light and natural look for a Friday night at the Hawk or a glamorous and sexy look for a formal/big event. It can be overwhelming walking into a makeup store to be poked and prodded by salespeople or talked into products that are way too expensive. It’s also important to keep in mind that you don’t need to be a full-on beauty guru to know your way around an eyeshadow palette. All this being said, here are the best eyeshadow palettes for your typical college girl. And I let the photos speak for themselves.
1. Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette
The formulation of these eyeshadows is one of the best on the market.
