10 Affordable Makeup Brands You Didn’t Know About

Are you the type of girl to get every shade of lipstick and eye shadow for no reason? I sure am. So, I am here to tell you the top 10 affordable makeup brands that you probably didn’t know about!

1. Maybelline

Did you know that BB creams are not just tinted moisturisers and that they provide heavier coverage than just that. BB creams contain amazing ingredients; vitamin A, C, SPF, anti aging and more. That’s why Maybellines BB cream is the best drug store affordable BB cream out there. Your foundation shouldn’t be cakey, heavy and damaging to your skin, that why BB cream is the healthier option. It’s light, hydrating and provides a full coverage. I use this product everyday on my skin in the only negative is there needs to be more in a bottle!

2. E.L.F

A lot of us love having different shades of lipsticks to match different outfits. Well the cheapest way to do this, is to go to the E.L.F brand. You can grab one of every shade for $3 at your local drug store, or Kmart! They are long lasting, you can drink from a glass, eat and even kiss without ever worrying!

3. KIKO Milano

So while I was travelling in Scotland, I came across KIKO. Now this brand isn’t available in Australia just yet, but when it does get here you can say goodbye to your bank account. Mascaras are three pounds, which is just under $6 here! Although KIKO is cheap, the quality is definitely there. The eyeliner provides a clean straight line as the brush is small and thin, which is what every girls wants. Also the eye shadow is so pigmented the tiniest little stroke from the brush provides great colour all over the eyelids. KIKO is definitely something to look forward to.

4. NYX Cosmetics

Highlighter has become the most popular used product in 2017. Great highlight is the pinnacle of every girl’s day. My friend recommended this product to me and I absolutely had to buy it. NYX Cosmetics highlighters is one of the cheapest but high quality highlighters I have ever used, and I mean I’ve used a lot of different products, but nothing compares to this. For only $7 the pack comes with two highlighters and a matte power to finish it off.

5. BH Cosmetics

BH Cosmetics is definitely a brand to look out for. A few of their awesome products are the 88 eyeshadow palette for $13 and the 120 colour palette for $18! Now you may be thinking that is only the horrible colours. Let me tell you it is not! There’s three palettes, Matte, Shimmer and Neutrals. Neutrals is my favourite, because it’s the colours I wear the most. With a quick reapply of eye shadow during the day, it lasts long and is more pigmented than you would ever imagine for the cheap price.

6. Essence Cosmetics

Essence was recommended to me by a friend. My friend was wearing a really nice pink blush and I had to go out and buy it. The blush, is pigmented, light and its the perfect shade for your cheeks! Another great, affordable product is the mascara. Both products are long lasting and stay on throughout the day without the need for reapplying.

7. The Body Shop

One of the top selling products from the Body Shop is the Matte Liquid Lipstick. It’s long lasting, and the best feature about this product is how it doesn’t come off when eating or drinking! This is every girls dream. Finally, a lipstick that is cheap, high quality and doesn’t come off with a fight!

8.  The Balm

The Balm is a little dearer in price, but so worth it and cheaper than most brands. The Balms eyeshadow palettes range from $29-$44. One of the best sellers is the create your own palette. A palette of 9, costs $44 and you can choose the cover of the packaging and choose from over 44 colours. So in the end, you get the exact colours you like and it’s high quality. My makeup bag is full of The Balm products, so how could I not recommend it?

9. Models Prefer

Instead of rushing to buy the Kim Kardashian contour kit that will cost you an arm and a leg, direct your eyes to Models Prefer. Models Prefer has a cream contour palette for $17! It comes with 6 creams allowing you to have beautifully contours cheeks. It is truely a blessing for our bank accounts.

10. Milani

I have the perfect product for a girl in a hurry to get ready in the morning. The Conceal + perfect 2-in-1 foundation from Milani Cosmetics. To save you time in putting on concealer, this is the perfect product. With 4 out of 5 stars this product gives you full coverage, long lasting and easy to blend with a very affordable price tag.
