As someone who values options in every aspect of life, eye shadow palettes are my jam. After all, palettes make different color ranges available in one place, allowing you to make a game-time decision about what kind of look you’re going for without rifling through your makeup case in search of loose singles. But a lot of people ask me if price is a determent of the quality. My answer every single time? Absolutely not. In fact, some of my favorite eye shadow palettes are ones you can find at a price that will barely make a dent in your wallet. Read on to see 10 of the best drugstore eye shadow palettes on the market right now.

MAYBELLINE CITY MINI EYESHADOW PALETTES - $4

We love a good warm palette, and this one from e.l.f. just contains the prettiest shades of pinks and oranges.
