The Best Drugstore Makeup Palette for Smoky Eyes

It’s no secret that I’ve tried a lot of beauty products…everything from high end department store brands to inexpensive drugstore makeup. After trying literally thousands upon thousands of differently priced beauty products I’m pretty confident when I tell you guys about my favorites. Today I’m revealing not only a new favorite, but what I think is the best drugstore makeup palette for smoky eyes!

The eight shadows in Covergirl’s TruNaked Smoky Palette are perfect for creating just about any smoky eye look. From matte to shimmery, deep plum to black to metallic hematite and even the perfect white shadows to highlight under your brow and inner corners of your eyes. And the consistency of these shadows are way better quality that any other drugstore brand I’ve ever tried. They’re smooth and blendable and stay put once they’re on, plus unlike other inexpensive shadows they’re super pigmented. And did I mention this palette is only $10!

If my love letter to this product didn’t convince you to pick it up then maybe these photos will! Scroll down for the full tutorial and let me me know what you think? I’d love to know if you’ve tried this palette and if you think it’s the best drugstore makeup palette for smoky eyes too!
