As we all know, college can be very expensive, so who wants to spend a lot of money on makeup? Well, you don’t have to. Here is a list of affordable makeup brands that won’t take all your money, are high quality and will have you looking stunning.
1. Â e.l.f.
The first makeup brand that I would recommend to college students is e.l.f. Not only is e.l.f. an affordable makeup brand that sells products ranging from $3 to $20, but they also produce high quality products that work as good as high-end make-up, all while using vegan and cruelty-free ingredients.
2.  Maybelline
Another high-quality brand that offers affordable makeup products is Maybelline. The brand sells products ranging from $8 to $18 and is a trusted, loved brand that has been around for many years now because of its lasting quality and is highly convenient because it’s sold in most stores.
3. Â NYX
The third suggestion is NYX. This brand is known for their high-quality, performing makeup, with prices usually ranging from $5 to $25. They also market their makeup as cruelty free and vegan, similar to Elf.
 4. ColourPop
The last makeup brand I want to add is ColourPop. ColourPop offers a generous amount of makeup at affordable prices as well. They also market themselves to be a cruelty-free brand and their make-up ranges between $5 to $20. The brand is most known for the color palettes they offer, so if you want to be creative with your make-up for an affordable price this is the brand for you!
I have personally tried each of these brands and can truly say they did not disappoint. The next time you buy makeup, consider these amazing affordable brands and maybe tell a friend or two!
