Saving money is something we all love to do, don’t we? I know I do! Last week, I wrote a Splurge vs. Save post on concealer and foundation, and today I’ve decided to put all the focus on the eyes. More specifically, whether you should spend or save on eyeliner and eyeshadow.

If you’re wondering why I’m not including mascara, it’s because I already did a “Splurge vs. Save” on arguably the best mascara ever – Benefit’s They’re Real!. However, if you’d like me to find a dupe for another high-end mascara, please let me know in the comments and I will do my best to help you out!

I’m going to share with you the best high-end eyeliners and eyeshadows, as well as the best drugstore eyeliners and eyeshadows. Read on to find out what they are!

The $23 price tag is pretty huge, but the packaging is probably double the size of the Color Tattoo, and there are more color choices. These are also slightly more pigmented and easier to apply because of the size of the packaging.

The Verdict? SAVE!

My advice? Go for the Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadows. They’re an amazing product and you won’t break the bank. However, if you don’t like the colors or need waterproof, try out the Aqua Cream shadows.
