What is the best economic makeup brand?

For anyone whoโ€™s on a budget, finding an inexpensive alternative to anything  is crucial. Makeup is the same. Which brand do you recommend 

Re: What is the best economic makeup brand?

@anonymous123458  Depends on your particular budget, but here are my suggestions. 

 

Might push your budget, depending on your price cap: 
 
  • UOMA Beauty 
  • NABLA 
  • Juviaโ€™s Place 
  • Kiko Milano 
 
Less expensive than the above brands: 
 
  • Sephora Collection 
  • ColourPop 
  • UOMA by Sharon C - the less expensive sister brand of UOMA Beauty 
  • e.l.f. - can be hit or miss in general, but their putty blushes are wonderful and some of their lipsticks perform well 
  • NYX - also rather hit or miss, but I like more of their makeup than e.l.f.'s 

 

Potential longterm cost saving option: 
 
Wait for a sale at either Danessa Myricks direct, Sephora, or Beautylish to buy 2-5 shades of Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Eye, Cheek & Lip Cream Pigment  (perhaps primary red, yellow, and blue, plus white and black). Use them to custom-mix your own makeup shades to use anywhere on your face: eyes, lips, cheeks, etc. I sometimes mix in a teeny tiny bit of Aquaphor Ointment for a creamier texture and to get more playtime, because the matte Colorfix shades dry down quickly.

I think both LYS and Rare Beauty have great priced items.     And yes, Sephora Collection definitely has some great finds, SEPHORA COLLECTION Microsmooth Multi-Tasking Baked Face Palette Captivate is a find, it stands toe-to-toe with the last HG face palette for me.  And their lipstains are great, SEPHORA COLLECTION Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick 01 Always Red is another goodie.

 

Good Molecules, and the aformentioned Inkey List and The Ordinary are also great priced skincare items.

Re: What is the best economic makeup brand?

@anonymous123458  Sephora Collection is a great place to start. The SEPHORA COLLECTION MicroSmooth Baked Powder Foundation , SEPHORA COLLECTION #LIPSTORIES Lipstick  , SEPHORA COLLECTION LashCraft Have It All Mascara 0.45 oz/ 13.5 mL are all really good.

Re: What is the best economic makeup brand?

For skin care, The Inkey List, The Ordinary and The Sephora Collection are more affordable. @anonymous123458 

 

For Makeup The Sephora Collection, Morphe and Too Faced are more budget friendly and The Sephora Collection goes on sale more than other brands I think ๐Ÿ˜‰

 

Usualy drugstores have a selection of low to high brands, so if you search your bound to find things in your budget too, hope this helps ๐Ÿ’•

Re: What is the best economic makeup brand?

The Sephora Collection has some great products for a reasonable price. I find Morphe has a great price on eyeshadows. @anonymous123458
