Exclamation What's a good place for a eyeshadow palette?

Hello! I was just wondering what's a really good brand to find an awesome eyeshadow palette!
A variety of colors would be great! Thank you so much for reading this!

With a good primer, Wet N Wild palettes look amazing, from the swatches I've seen. Right now I'm only using their single shadow in Brulee (a creamy, matte off white). If you buy them at Rite Aid for 40% off, it's a ridiculous bargain. For people with a bigger budget, Inglot make some amazing shadows, and cost half as much as MAC. I have one of their Freedom Palettes (with four square shadows). It only cost US $26 excluding tax. The shadows have 2.7 grams of product versus MAC's 1.5.

I would definitely recommend looking into BH Cosmetics/Ebay and EyesLipsFace (elf). They have great inexpensive palettes with a variety of different colours. I usually get my palettes off of ebay (just search in "120 eyeshadow palette", "28 neutral palette", etc.) because they are less expensive than BH Cosmetics, but the exact same quality and colours.

It isn't a palette, BUT Avon has great eye shadow colors. I love eye shadow and those colors are definitely intense enough for me. I needed a pink that really stuck out for Sango and I used Avon for that. Also, not a palette, but Revlon has a bunch of little cases with four colors and I quite like those as well, great colors.

Umm, Michelle Phan actually introduced me, but I currently have the Coastal Scents Eyeshadow Palette. It's a great palette with a ton of colors with an option of matte or sparkly. My friend has the sparkly and I have the matte. I chose the matte because I can always add some roll-on eye glitter but I can't remove the glitter from the sparkly palette.

I bought my palette a few years ago and all the colors still have their luster and shine. Now, being a bigger company, they have more options (even a 252 Ultimate eyeshadow palette).

Given the price, the pigmentation of the colors is really nice. I've done tons of different makeup looks with that palette and would recommend it to anyone.

I agree with this! I have the 88 color shimmer palette, and it is WONDERFUL. Because it's cheaper, it can fade easily, but you can eliminate this problem by pairing it with a good primer.

Each color pot is about the size of a dime in circumference, but that's all you need. I sue my palette about once a week and after 9 months of use, I am yet to run out of any colors (I also have not used a sinlge color more than three or four times, though xD). I pair this eyeshadow with Urban Decay's eyeshadow primer and it lasts all day.

Overall a great palette, but don't expect it to last long without a good primer.

Manly 120. I'm not even kidding they are awesome and VERY vibrant. Use a bit of water to make the colors pop, but if you want my secret for some outrageous colors i mix a bit of liquid personal lubricant and some makeup primer to create almost a paint with my colors.

wet 'n wild are great for drugstore makeup as well as milani which was designed for dark skin tones and so has great pigment.

Coastal scents is where it's at, but if you have a sephora local to you they have tons to choose from. Plus their store brand is cheaper and well pigmented.
