Now that midterms are finished, it’s the point in the year when we begin to set aside our cash to purchase thoughtful presents that remind our loved ones of the amount we give a second thought. With all the severe saving that happens during the holiday season, there’s usually hardly (if any) money left in the spending plan for yourself.
And obviously, it’s usually the season when products some way or another appear to be shinier, more tempting, and even harder to resist.
Luckily for my fellow makeup mavens, treating yourself to new beauty products doesn’t need to burn through every last dollar this season! Bargain-estimated beauty brands have been continuing to move forward in their game, even surpassing the quality of some luxury products on occasion.
This is precisely why it was so difficult to pick only 7 amazingly evaluated products out of the large number available today that stand out.
1. Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation
Even though it’s not a new item, Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation should remain on the radars of all makeup lovers. At an unbelievably low cost, you get a foundation that performs similarly to better-quality foundations.
The Photo Focus foundation is long-wearing, applies like heaven, and won’t look cakey by any means. This is a “Your Skin However Better” sort of foundation, with a unique spatula applicator wand making it simpler than ever to apply even specks of foundation directly all over.
2. Maybelline Brow Precise Fiber Volumizer
I’m exceptionally fastidious about the products I use on my eyebrows since I NEED my brows to look great consistently. So when I tell you that I declare by the Maybelline Brow Precise Fiber Volumizer, no doubt’s the real deal.
This eyebrow volumizer does exactly what it claims, adding both color and volume to every individual eyebrow hair, which makes your eyebrows seem bolder yet in a natural manner.
3. Morphe Beauty Sponge
However much I love my Real Techniques Beauty Sponge, I have realized I now depend more on my Morphe Beauty Sponge for getting the makeup results I want. The straight edge of this sponge makes it a lot simpler to apply concealer up close to the under-eye region, and to cut out a cheek contour with ease.
Morphe’s version of a beauty sponge isn’t excessively dense or excessively soft and always applies liquid makeup flawlessly.
4. Flower Beauty Flower Pots Powder Blush
Without actually knowing her, I can still honestly say that I entrust Drew Barrymore with my life. This is the reason when I found out she was creating her beauty line, I knew everything in it would be killer. The Flower Pots Powder Blush from her line is one of the most noteworthy products from the entire Flower Beauty line, which is truly saying something.
These blushes are extremely pigmented, with a smooth formula that flawlessly melts onto the skin. The colors in this blush formula are all stunning, and go with almost any look you can think to make. Overall, this is a can’t-miss item!
5. Milani Make It Last Setting Spray
Setting sprays are a high priority in any makeup collection, because the great ones help to melt your makeup onto the skin for a less powdery look, and they help in prolonging the wear of your makeup. This Milani Setting Spray does both at a smaller cost than one could normally pay for a decent-quality spray.
The packaging is small, sleek, and extremely simple to travel with, not to mention this setting spray can also be utilized as a groundwork in a pinch. For less than $10, this setting spray is the real deal and needs to be essential for your makeup collection.
6. Colourpop Super Shock Highlighter
If there’s a single makeup item Colourpop kills it with, it must be their highlighters. The Super Shock Highlighter selection has concealed for lighter and more profound skin tones, and each pan provides you with a lot of items to work with (meaning it’ll last for a long time).
These stunning highlighters tend to lean more towards blinding than subtle, so you only need a minimum amount of items to sneak up all of a sudden. The super smooth and rich surface of these highlighters feels extremely luxe and helps them to effortlessly glide on the skin.
7. L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara
We certainly can’t be neglecting our lashes this holiday season, now can we? L’Oreal Paris’ Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara will be the answer to your requests. The formulation of this jewel outshines many other pharmacy alternatives since it performs more like a luxury mascara than a cheaply valued one.
This mascara covers every individual lash with ease, without being clumpy or drying, and on top of all that it manages to add both length and volume. At this sticker cost (and even greater cost points), you really can’t beat this item.
