If you are like me, you are OBSESSED with all things beauty, but you are also on a budget. Being on a budget doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice things. There are many products that are just as good as the high-end products we all know and love. Don't get me wrong, there's some products that I just can't find dupes for or that I don't want to find dupes for. But here's a few products that are definitely budget-friendly and actually really good.
Primer
this is one of those categories that I essentially have no dupes for, except for one.
The Nivea Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm is actually a good product to help foundation stick to your skin. I tried this not too long after Nikkietutorials recommended it. While it isn't my favorite, it is a pretty decent product. It is available at Target for $5.99.
Foundation
Revlon ColorStay Makeup is AMAZING. I have super oily skin and it honestly stays on all day, with few exceptions. It is my favorite drugstore foundation. It gives a nice matte finish without making you look... lifeless. It is full coverage and honestly stunning. It is great! You can get it here for $12.99.
L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation
This foundation is actually pretty good. It is super hyped up, and for good reason. It is a little more matte than the Revlon ColorStay, but it is still really pretty on the skin. It is a medium to full coverage. You can get it here for $12.99.
Concealer
Maybelline FaceStudio Master Conceal
Guys, this concealer is ridiculously full coverage and beautiful. If you aren't careful, it will crease. I defiantly recommend baking after application, but it is so full coverage that it's worth it. You can get it here for $8.99.
Powder
Where do I begin? As a girl with super oily skin, I have acquired a long list of powders that I like. Here are just a few.
Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder
This product is so good. It's matte but not flat. And it really helps to keep foundation in place. You can get it here for $4.99.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless
This is also a really good powder. It is not heavy at all and it looks great on the skin. You can get it here for $7.99.
L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable Powder
This is also a really good powder. It is blendable and looks nice on the skin. You can get it here for $10.99
Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder, Translucent Extra Coverage
This loose powder is great. It is perfect for under eye baking. You can get it here for $7.99.
Blush
Milani Rose Powder Blush

Eyeshadow Palettes

The shadow in this palette. OMG. It is so buttery and pigmented. It is worth every penny. You can get it here for $11.99.
Eyebrow Gel
I have yet to find an eyebrow pencil/pomade/definer dupe that I like and that works for me, but I have found an awesome eyebrow gel.

This gel is amazing. It is super affordable. It's not too pigmented and it looks great on top of other brow products. It's truly a staple for your makeup collection. You can get it here for $2.99.
Mascara
