Review: Affordable is beautiful

Don’t spend a fortune to slay

Every day makeup gets expensive and finding good, acceptable, budget-friendly makeup can be hard. Although high-end makeup looks good, you can get the same results with drugstore makeup. The majority of drugstore makeup has the same ingredients and now companies like e.l.f. are making similar products, or dupes for their high-end counterparts.

When looking for budget-friendly makeup, it is important to look at the ingredients to ensure that anything on the list isn’t harmful to your skin or acne-prone. Companies like e.l.f., Maybelline, NYX and Revlon have all become trustworthy in the makeup drugstore community. These products have given great results to many teenagers and adults and are all under $15.

One of e.l.f.’s most famous products is their primer which was a duplicate of the Milk Makeup Primer. This primer has a sticky texture so it can hold the makeup in place which will make it last all day. Another famous product of e.l.f.’s is their Hydrating Camo Concealer, this product hydrates and brightens your skin.

Maybelline has turned some heads and created great products like the Fit Me Powder, and the Lasting Fix setting spray. The Fit Me Powder leaves a matte finish and blurs out your pores which leaves your makeup looking flawless. Adding the Lasting Fix setting spray to the end of your makeup routine, will hold your makeup together even on the hottest day.

Lip gloss, lipliner and lipstick bring your makeup routine together. NYX lipliner and lip gloss go hand in hand and they have a variety of colors so you can create your combination. But if lip gloss is not your cup of tea, you can always look into Revlon’s lipsticks. Just like NYX, Revlon has a broad selection and cute packaging. Products like these are great for beginners, or for those who need to save a few bucks on their beauty routine
