As college students we are trying to get the most for our buck. We don’t all have the means to buy $30 blush, so here are some affordable but reliable drugstore makeup products that are just as good–or even better–than those high-end products!
1. Wet N’ Wild Megalast Lipcolors, $2.99
These affordable pigmented lipsticks have a vibrant color that lasts all day! My favorite has to be Think Pink!
2. E.L.F. Cosmetics Eyebrow Kit, $3
Want to keep your eyebrows tamed and defined? Instead of reaching for Benefit Comsetic’s Brow Zing or any of the Anastasia eyebrow products, try this inexpensive yet effective product.
3. N.Y.C. Sunny Smooth Skin Bronzer, $2.99
This brilliant bronzer really brings a matte contour to your face, adding a little color during the paleness of winter time!
4. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, $3.97
For the oily girls out there, this powder is an essential in the spring and summer so your makeup doesn’t melt off! Stay matte with Rimmel!
5. Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner in Nude, $3.97
Using this eyeliner on your bottom waterline is an effortless way to brighten up your face and look wide awake even though you’ve been up all night studying. This liner is smooth and delicate so it glides on with no hassle!
6. NYX Concealer in a Jar, $4.95
With a wide selection of color and tones, this buildable concealer helps cover any fine lines, veins, and dark circles you may have on your face.
7. Jordana Fabu Liner, $2.99- $3.50
This is a dark, pigmented felt-tip liner with long lasting power. Both the BOLD and regular Fabu Linters work well – it just depends on your mood!
8. Wet N’ Wild Eyeshadow Trios, $2.99
These eyeshadows give great color pay-off and are identical to many of the high-end shadows you’d find at Sephora, Ulta, or MAC.
9. Maybelline One-by-One Volum’ Express Mascara, $4.79
If long, lengthy, and voluminous lashes are what you desire, this mascara will do the trick. It’s great for lifting the roots of your lashes and giving them that extra height!
10. E.L.F. Cosmetics Studio Blushes, $3
These blushes are already pretty well-known because they are so hard to pass by. For only $3 it’s hard to not collect all of the colors!
