So there you are, reading all about the latest makeup trends, devouring the reviews, you’ve made your choice and you go to buy a product and… It’s HOW MUCH?! Don’t you just hate it when your makeup goals don’t align with your bank balance? Ugh. But don’t worry, makeup addicts, I’ve compiled a list of the best budget makeup that will still leave you looking flawless! Here are 13 products you can actually afford…
This beautifully nourishing primer is designed to even out your skin, creating that flawless blank canvas for the rest of your makeup. Plus, it’s packed with vitamins to give your face that extra glow!
This recently revamped foundation boasts coverage that could match Fenty’s and blendability that’s second to none. As the name suggests, it’s long wearing, and will leave you with a matte yet glowy finish. As far as best budget makeup goes, this foundation is a winner!
These concealers caused quite a stir in the makeup community when they dropped. With an incredible 25 shades to choose from, dubbed a Tarte Shape Tape dupe, everyone wanted to get their hands on Conceal & Define – and at that budget price, who wouldn’t?!
This beautiful powder from NYX mattifies and sets makeup, while simultaneously reducing the appearance of fine lines and pores. Win! This is a budget makeup product that should be in everyone’s collection.
Recommended by SophDoesNails, these buildable contour powders come in a range of shades to suit and define any skin tone, making it easy to carve out those cheekbones. Not only that, but the magnetic pans mean that you can build your own palette for a super affordable price!
Makeup Revolution’s whole range is incredible for finding budget makeup gems, but this bronzer in particular is truly beautiful. Easily buildable, it can add a subtle glow or a full on warm bronze depending on your look – so adaptable!
Be honest: have you seen cuter packaging, like, ever?! This highly pigmented highlighter has plenty of fans, and for good reason – it adds a stunning glow, but will leave your bank balance looking pretty, too. Need I say more?
Who’s your crush who makes you blush? Is it Zayn? Or are you more of a Harry girl? Drake, Justin, Nick or Zac? Well, with these incredibly-named blusher shades, you can collect them all – especially with the budget makeup price!
Brows are arguably the most important part of your makeup routine – they can make or break an entire look – so what better than this amazing product for brows on a budget? Rimmel’s eyebrow pencil has a creamy texture allowing for a smooth application, and it’s suitable for sensitive skin. Plus, it comes with a handy brush to tame before you define.
Although cheap eyeshadow palettes aren’t too difficult to come by, what is tricky is finding one with interesting, different shades, rather than just 12 variations on bronze. The Makeup Revolution Iconic Division palette is perfect for this – with some calling it a dupe for ABH Subculture, it has so many beautiful colours for you to play around with. Add this to your budget makeup collection ASAP, this is one of the best budget makeup palettes we have found!!
This award-winning budget eyeliner was launched 25 years ago, and is still a firm favourite amongst makeup lovers. 25 years! It’s probably older than you. Get that perfect wing in black, brown or blue – or buy all three!
With Gatsby-vibe packaging, this luxe-on-a-budget mascara lengthens and defines lashes like a high end product. Next time you’re budget makeup shopping, why not add a little bougie?
Is it just me, or have the past few years been all about lips? From liquid lip kits to classic sticks, everyone’s getting their pout on. Fancy starting your own collection to rival Kylie Jenner’s? MUA’s Luxe Lip Lacquers come in an impressive 29 shades, are smudge-proof, long lasting and totally gorgeous. And most importantly – they’re incredibly affordable!
