Despite popular belief, this chilly season doesn't necessarily have to mean resorting to neutral winter eyeshadow colors. You should always use any excuse to try something new and break out of your comfort zone. I like to think that winter is just another chance to rock both subtle and brilliant hues, as well as match them to your impeccable wardrobe choices. When it comes to these inexpensive and awesome winter eyeshadow colors, I will always be on the hunt for more!

1. E.l.f. Studio Matte Eyeshadow in Muted Mauve
When it comes to matte eyeshadow, e.l.f. has a wide array of winter eyeshadow colors. I'm usually nervous when it comes to finding the perfect colors to match my dark skin tone and was surprised by how great this turned out. Retailing at about $3 at eyeslipsface.com, I love how trendy this look is!
2. NYX Ultra Pearl Mania in Turquoise Pearl
This loose eyeshadow line offers some pretty awesome options! This particular turquoise shade is bold yet relaxed and still manages to enhance your eyes. The best part is that it will only cost you $3; you can order it online on amazon.com or pick it up at an Urban Outfitters outlet. I would suggest applying primer before using loose pigments to make them really stick.
