You’ll know that Urban Decay, Chanel and Charlotte Tilbury make some of the best eyeshadow palettes in the business, especially when it comes to pigmentation, colour pay-off and highly wearable shades. But if you want to experiment with new colours or just indulge in a new palette without the hefty price tag, you’re in luck: we’ve rounded up 5 of our favourites budget eye palettes!
MUA are well-known for their face and cheek palettes, but they’ve got you covered in the eyeshadow department too.
They offer a hugely diverse range of budget palettes with each retailing at an average of £4, meaning you’re free to experiment to your heart’s content! Our favourites? The Undress Me Too palette, which is an almost shade-for-shade dupe of the famous Urban Decay Naked palettes. We also love the Poptastic Palette, which features a selection of vibrant, candyfloss shades perfect for a statement evening eye.
Boots brand Seventeen are the leader in affordable drugstore makeup, and often offer on-trend beauty buys – think liquid highlights and contouring palettes – at a fraction of the price of their designer counterparts.
