The beauty industry has become one of the numerous and popularized brands and products that range from low to very high prices. Although some brands that are considered luxury have larger platforms and marketing strategies to push their products, affordable makeup palettes have the ability to outperform their competition.

If you are in the market for a new eye palette and don't know where to start, consider how these palettes align with your personal preferences.

1. ColourPop’s "California Love" Palette.

The "California Love" palette by ColourPop would be a great addition to your makeup collection if you prefer orange and mauve tones.

It retails for $18 at Ulta Beauty and $24.93 on Amazon and contains twelve different shades. This palette is ideal for both an everyday natural eye look or a more formal smokey look.

Seven of the 12 shades contain either gold flecks or glitter which can be used to create a more dimensional look. Each shade packs in a lot of pigmentation and is easy to blend out, making the "California Love" palette a great bargain for those who don't want to break the bank with a new palette.

2. BH Cosmetics’ "Take Me To Ibiza" Palette

The "Take Me To Ibiza" shadow palette by BH Cosmetics is an eye-catching palette that offers 35 different shades, ranging from neon pink to nude.

This palette retails for $20 and can be found at Ulta Beauty. If you enjoy experimenting with bold colors, this product is an affordable way to obtain both matte and glittery shades for many occasions in just one palette.

The palette includes three larger neutral shades so that you won't run out of your base shades too quickly.

The shades within the palette have good pigmentation and are easily blendable, making it a great palette if you are feeling creative.

3. Morphe’s 18T "Truth Or Bare" Artistry Palette.

The "Truth Or Bare Artistry" palette by Morphe is the perfect product if you prefer a range of neutral tones.

Retailing for $18 on Morphe's website and coming soon to Ulta Beauty, it offers 18 shades that range from nude to dark brown, with seven of the shades including shimmer.

It can help you achieve a natural look, a smokey eye, and a festive shimmery look with the versatile shades that blend together well. If you are looking for a palette that can produce a bold look without bold shades, this is the product for you.

4. Anastasia Beverly Hills’ "Soft Glam" Palette

If you are looking for a palette that will give you the tools for the perfect going-out look, the "Soft Glam" Eyeshadow Palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills is your best choice.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine.

Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
