Hello! This is Zaineb and today I wanted to go into details about eyeshadow palettes that are great for beginners. Every person who loves make-up starts a collection of eyeshadow palettes either for aesthetic reason or for the love of make-up. As I has a hard time when I first started to discover eyeshadow, I would love to offer some advice to someone who is just getting started. My first palette was Anastasia’s Modern Renaissance Palletes, which was $65! Not only was is hard to use for a beginner but it was EXPENSIVE! Today, there are more companies that offer palette that just as great for a lower price. Someone who is just getting started in the make-up world can build their collection with cheaper palettes and see what they like before buying palettes that cost more than a whole outfit!

Urban Decay

Urban Decay is a high-end band that is sold online and in stores at Ulta and Sephora. Although usually, UD has a palette that has been going on sale for 40% -50 % off. The Born to Run Palette is an absolutely beautiful, high quality, and cheap for amount of product you receive. With this palette, it is possible to create many different looks considering the palette has warm, colorful, and neutral shades.  The original price of the palette is $49, on sale you could get for $24-$28.

An affordable and great quality brand to start a make-up collection is Colourpop. colourpop is an online retailer that is very affordable and ships worldwide. Recently Colourpop has been creating 9 pan eyeshadows for $12. Colourpop pop usually has sale going on and you can get one palette as low as $8. Each palette has a different color scheme such as a red palette, blue palette, and green palette.

Makeup Revolution

Makeup Revolution is a makeup brand that dupes (replicates) expensive palettes such as Anastasia’s Modern Renaissance Palette. They have many palettes available in Ulta and one their own website. Although I have only tried one of the Reloaded Palettes, I believe that the quality is decent for the price. Each of the Reloaded Palettes is $7.00 before any coupon or sale. I would recommend this brand if your are not able to get your hand on the Colourpop palettes.

Wet n Wild

Wet n Wild is a budget friendly brand that is available in drugstores, large retailers such as Walmart, and online. Recently, Wet n Wild revamped their eyeshadow formula and added more colors to their old 8-pan palettes. The Color Icon Eyeshadow 10- Pan Palettes are only $4.99 and the color payoff for the shadows is amazing. My favorite palette is the Comfort Zone, which has beautiful earthy tones. As a brand Wet n Wild is always coming out with new collections and collaborations. It is a good idea to keep an eye out for all the new products they launch.

Juvia’s Place Juvia’s Place is a brand that I recently was able to hit at Ulta. I always wanted to try their palettes but I try not to buy anything that I cannot first see in person. When an Ulta near started selling the palettes in stores , I could resist buying some of them. The color payoff of any of the palettes by Juvia’s Place is fantastic. Fortunately, they were on sale for 25% off the original price. The eyeshadow palette are absolutely beautiful and have such a variety of color schemes. The palettes cost anywhere from $9-$18.

As much as I love makeup and palettes, I hate paying full price for anything. I am always on the hunt for a way to save money. With brands that can be found in drugstores, there are random days where they have deals on certain brands. For example, CVS has a deal in the past that if you buy $10 worth of makeup from Wet n Wild with your CVS card, you would get $5  in Extrabucks, which could be used to buy anything from the store. There are also manufacturer coupons that CVS gives you about every couple of week for L’Oréal, Maybelline, and Revlon. There are so many ways to when your on a budget. For brand that are available in Ulta, signup for their newsletter. Every newsletter has a $3.50 coupon off of $15 of drugstore makeup. Ulta occasionally send out 20% on drugstore brands. Lastly, I would check the brands website, Ulta.com, and Cvs.com for any online sale that are constantly going on.
