If you think that it's necessary to spend a lot of money to get highly pigmented eyeshadows that will last then I'm happy to tell you, you're wrong! Check out these drugstore offerings that will keep you and your wallet very happy:

Quo Minerals Matter Eye Quad - $22 - triple-milled powder creates a smooth velvet finish that blends easily. The waterproof and crease resistant formula keeps shadow looking fresh all day.
Available at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Marcelle Wet & Dry Eye Shadow Quad - $14.25 - each case contains four eye shadows with various finishes (semi-matte, shimmer and irridescent) that will brighten your eyes and let you create a variety of effects. Its light and silky powder texture blends wonderfully to create a multilayer, long-lasting and natural looking make-up effect.

Add a few drops of water and the colour gets a boost of vibrancy for instant drama. Its super-fine colour pigments are processed with silicone and designed to dissolve immediately when in contact with water. Once dry, the shade returns to its original aspect without turning caky or hard.
Enriched with vitamin E to protect delicate eyelids from the harsh effects of free radicals, it's also hypo-allergenic and perfume-free.

Available in Royalty and Teal Chic (shown above) as well as: Urban Chic; Tropics; Blue Moon; and Nude Attitude
Available in store and online at www.marcellecosmetics.com

GOSH Quattro Eye Shadow - $18 - a fragrance free shadow produced with a new technology allowing the use of ultra fine pearl- and micro pigments which gives you a remarkable intensity of color in the base with fine micro pearl effects. This technique is also able to refine the matte color particles further so that they end up looking like velvet, making the colors very durable.
