3 Must Have Eyeshadow Palettes That Don’t Break the Bank

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UNT chapter.

Eyeshadow palettes are a necessity for anyone who loves makeup, but with high-end palettes such as the Naked series and Tartelet palettes costing over $50, it’s just as important to find cheaper palettes for the same (if not better!) quality. Here are my top three palettes that won’t break the bank!

 

Jaclyn Hill x Morphe Palette: $38, 35 shades

Although more expensive than other Morphe palettes, this collaboration with Jaclyn Hill is still affordable and has soooo many options! From mattes to shimmers to transition shades, this palettes includes everything you’ll need to wear on both a daily basis as well as glammed-up nights! 

Milani Mini Palettes: $8-$10, 6 shades

These small palettes from Milani are perfect for travelling or throwing in your purse- and they’re highly pigmented too! Many makeup gurus have compared these palettes to high-end ones, but the most important difference is that these are cheap and affordable!

e.l.f. Eyeshadow Palettes: $10-$12, 10 shades

e.l.f. eyeshadow palettes can be found at any drugstore, Target, or Walmart, and are sometimes considered dupes for the Naked series! They are pigmented, long-wearing, and have just the perfect amount of sparkle.

What are your favorite, affordable eyeshadow palettes?
