15 Best Cheap Makeup Finds for $5 or LessThe high-quality makeup steals our readers say you need to try |
If your budget's more canned tuna than caviar, your makeup doesn't have to suffer. Like the right $5 bottle of wine can taste just as good as a $50 bottle, the best cheap makeup can produce equally high-end results.
True, budget makeup finds may not flaunt the same ritzy brand name or museum-worthy packaging as pricier products -- but if a gorgeously made-up face is what you're after, the world of cheap makeup has a slew of gems to offer.
Skip to the best cheap makeup finds now.
Of course, not all cheap makeup products live up to our standards. Some are poorly made and have almost no pigment, melt off your face within minutes and end up highlighting your imperfections. We can all agree that a $2 lipstick that you never use isn't really a deal after all.
Then again, you don't have to drain your bank account for stay-all-day eyeliner, full-coverage concealer, creamy, pigmented blush, lipstick and more. But don't take our words for it. Listen to our trusty TotalBeauty.com reviewers, who took to the drugstore aisles to find these select cheap makeup treasures that compare to products five times their price.
The following 15 best cheap makeup products are consumer-approved, high-quality and available for $5 or less.
