Best Eyeshadows Under $20 at Sephora

The Best Eyeshadows to Pick Up From Sephora When You’ve Only Got $20 to Spend

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

While having a bottomless beauty bag just a pipe dream, picking out new eyeshadow doesn't need to take loads of space . . . or cost like it does. Of course, that's not to say we wouldn't make room for a luxe palette, but sometimes we want to try a new colour without a huge monetary commitment.

Luckily, there are dozens of eyeshadow options at Sephora that cost $20 or less — including solo shades, liquid tubes, and even palettes. No matter your textural tastes, there are smooth matte hues, smoky metallics, and plenty of shimmers.

Check out the ones we want to swipe — and swipe on — ahead.
