L.A. Colors

L.A. Colors is the budget brand that keeps surprising creators with genuinely good quality at Dollar Tree prices. The eyeshadow quads get the most buzz — they're described as pigmented, buttery, and consistent, with a formula that's improved noticeably over the years. The Sculpting Duo is a solid bronzer/highlight option that blends easily and lasts, though some shades run warm or glittery. If you're willing to dig through the racks, you can find real gems, but expect occasional duds and fallout on darker shadows.
