Falling into Makeup Trends on a Budget
New makeup trends straight off the runway are making their way onto the sidewalks. But even though they’re designer-level, they don’t have to cost your college tuition. Try out these wallet-friendly products yourself and look gorgeous this fall.
Get Vamped
Don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone and try something that will bring a whole new look to your makeup routine. Below are some of my top choices for darker lipstick that not only stay on all day but the color impact is huge. The price point is also perfect for anyone on a strict makeup budget.
Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Mattes in Burgundy Blush: $7.99
Wet n’ Wild in Vamp it Up: $1.99
NYX Simply Vamp lip cream in Enamored: $6.49
Redefined
Defined eyebrows are all over Pinterest and Instagram. Use these easy products to get the perfect shape in minutes. If you’re not wanting to spend a lot of extra time, but still want the look, try getting a matte eyeshadow that matches your eyebrow color and use an angled eyeshadow brush to sweep it across your natural brow shape. You’ll achieve perfect and fuller eyebrows in seconds!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade: around $18 (it lasts for months and is worth every penny!)
NYX eyebrow gel: $6.99
Ulta Brow Expert: $12.00
Flushed Blush
Flushed cheeks are a simple way to make your skin look like you just took a cool walk in the woods, without the actual walk. If you’re fairer skinned, this works amazing at not only bringing some light color, but also enhancing the natural tones of your skin. Below are some of my favorite blush products.
NYX powder blush in Terra Cotta: $6.99
Maybelline Face Studio Master Hi-Light in Nude: $9.99
Physicians Formula Argan Wear Blush in Natural: $12.99
