Looking to glam up your eye shadow game, but don’t want to shell out too much? While brands such as Urban Decay and Tarte Cosmetics sure have set the standards high, our beloved drugstore brands are putting up a tough fight with their tempting prices.

Here are our top five eye shadow picks {all under INR 1,400}, which will not only up your smoky-eye game, but also prove to be guilt-free retail therapy.
#LBBTip: To get that intense smoky-eye look, invest in a good eye shadow primer too, as that helps those colours pop.
