11 Drugstore Eyeshadow Palettes That You Need ASAP

A splurge purchase every now and then can be great, but for those on a beauty budget, the drugstore doesn't disappoint. Some of the best eyeshadow palettes on the market can now be found at your local Target, CVS, or Ulta. From Colourpop moving into brick and mortar stores to Makeup Geek's availability at Target, the market for eyeshadows has never been more competitive, and even drugstore makeup brands have been pulling out all the stops.

Eyeshadows at the drugstore have evolved from chalky, low-pigment products into shades comparable to high-end goods, and even what constitutes the drugstore also gotten a bit of a makeover. Target and Ulta are both home to formerly online only brands with drugstore pricing that makes them more accessible than ever.

While Ulta still maintains an extensive collection of high-end goods, the retailer has ramped up its drugstore section with brands like Revolution Beauty and Colourpop Cosmetics. Meanwhile, at Target, recognizable names like Makeup Geek have carved out a space as a slightly pricier but still accessible brand as staples like Pixi still continue to be reliable choices for shoppers.

If you've been looking for a more affordable, accessible option, here are 11 drugstore eyeshadow palettes that rival luxury brands in quality.
