With all the talk about Naked3 (check out my swatches & giveaway here) coming out and people (including myself) going crazy for it, I got to thinking with it selling out so quickly you may or may not be able to get your hands on it, and with the holidays upon us some people may not want to put the extra cash out for it. I wanted to share the best drugstore palettes with y’all so that you have some options! Truth is, y’all know that I would pick drugstore over highend any day, browsing the aisles of the drugstore is simply therapeutic. So to that end, here is some retail therapy you can all partake in without breaking the bank! I’ve got six drugstore palettes that I want to talk about today, they’re all completely affordable and of pretty great quality in my opinion for the drugstore.
SONIA KASHUK EYE PALETTE ‘SWEET NOTHINGS’ || $14.29 – A makeup bag must-have this palette of 6 essential shades will flatter every woman and keep them looking perfectly polished even on the go! These six shades are perfect for most skin tones. A pale gal’s dream palette with soft and creamy shades that won’t wash you out or leave you looking muddy, for you lucky gals with more of an olive or tan complexion you’ll be happy to know you can use the too and the lighter shades will be your highlight and the darker of the shades will make for a great lid shadow.
WET N WILD COLOR ICON COLLECTION PALETTE ‘COMFORT ZONE’ || $4.99 – You can mix and match these eight, silky, ultra-pigmented shades for a variety of looks on any skin tone. You can easily transform a look from day to night with these shades. I love how blendable these shades are and how you can go hours without them creasing. This is by far one of the best drugstore palettes you’re going to find and the best part is how cheap it is.
HARD CANDY TOP TEN EYE SHADOW ‘GREENS’ || $6.00 – Some of my favorite palettes come from Hard Candy and with good reason. Get just the right look with Hard Candy Top Ten Eye Shadow. This chic eye shadow is available in five different color palettes with 10 shades in each so you are sure to find the right combination. You can even combine colors to make your own unique shade. This Hard Candy eye shadow has what you need to create almost any look you want. It even comes with a compact mirror with a lace cover that will fit right in your purse so you can check out your eyes while on the go.
NYX ‘SMOKEY EYE’ EYESHADOW PALETTE || $7.00 – NYX is one of those great brands that are always high end quality at a drugstore price. Even carried by Nordstrom, they keep the same budget friendly prices. $7 for an incredibly rich, pigmented palette is like finding a unicorn. Obtain a sultry look with a Smokey Eyeshadow Palette! Use any of the 6 sleek eyeshadows to create that smoky look you desire for an evening out on the town.
PHYSICIAN’S FORMULA SHIMMER STRIPS NUDE PALETTE || $11.99 – Not interested in shelling out the big bucks on a nude palette? No worries, create the must-have & universally flattering Nude Look with gorgeous palettes by Physicians Formula.
E.L.F. STUDIO ENDLESS EYES PRO MINI EYESHADOW PALETTE || $6.00 – The “little sister” to their 100-color Studio Eyeshadow Palette, 32-color Professional Eyeshadow Mini Set is the perfect eyeshadow assortment for those on-the-go beauty touch-ups! With endless colors & textures to choose from, the Professional 32-Piece Eyeshadow Palette lets you create your own personal look whenever you wish, wherever you are! All the must-have eyeshadow shades are here, along with a built-in mirror and double-sided applicator for flawless touch-ups.
I hope you all enjoyed seeing what are in my opinion the best drugstore palettes and if you’re looking for something that is pigmented, quality, and full of great shades then these palettes will make great addition to your collections. What I think is extra amazing is the fact that y’all can get a few of these for the price of just one high end palette so you’re getting way more bang for your buck if you’re picking up a few of these.

I LOVE the Wet ‘n’ Wild Comfort Zone one. It’s fantastic!
Thanks for sharing these great ideas! I’ve been looking for some good- non expensive!- pallet options! I think I’m going to look into the Physicians Formula one. I could see myself using that all the time.
Love the Wet n Wild and Sonia Kashuk palettes! They are both great! I was really, really surprised with the pigment they both of them offered. I now use them daily!
I LOVE the Physicians Formula palette!! It’s seriously my go-to. ALL of the colors go well together, and there’s not too much of a choice like the UD Naked palettes to get overwhelmed!
