1. Let’s start with the base, foundation.
Foundations have varieties of shades, coverage and consistencies. The Fit Me foundation by Maybelline ($4.39) has over 40 shades, and it leaves a matte and full coverage look. This foundation outshines others including Tom Ford’s Traceless foundation ($87) at Sephora and Mac’s Studio Fix ($30) at Mac Cosmetics.
2. For the eyes
Color Icon Eyeshadow 10 Pan Palette-Rose in the Air by Wet n Wild is only $4.99, which includes ten shades with lots of pigment. This palette is the dupe for Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette ($42) with 14 shades. These palettes have similar shades and pigments expect for the difference in scent.
3. Matte Lipsticks
Colourpop is known for its affordable products with lots of pigment and lipsticks are not the exception. Compared to Anastasia Beverly Hills matte lipsticks which range from $14.99-20.00, Colourpop offers very similar colors at a low $6.50. Half price for the same quality.
4. Eyebrow pencils
Eyebrows are the frame of our face. Thin and discolored eyebrows are a thing of the past, now we want full and bushy eyebrows. To achieve this look many people use eyebrow pencils, but you don’t need to spend much money to look glamorous. For only $10.99, L’Oreal sales a smooth pencil that glides on your brow bone. But there are other brands that sell pencils at a higher cost, like Benefit and Anastasia Beverly Hills.
5. Highlighters
Every girl likes a little glow in their life. Even though highlighters are only about a decade old in the beauty industry there are already a variety of brands and colors. The set and reflect finishing kit is Nikkie Tutorials approved at a low retail of $6.55. High end includes Jeffree Star Cosmetics highlighter. Even though the formulas of these products vary, the glow is quite similar.
