The BEST makeup under $5!!

[@leopardface1]

To be honest with so many good affordable products available now, I find it hard to justify buying high end makeup anymore. The most expensive thing I use is a Clinique foundation for my acne prone skin but otherwise nothing in my bag is over £10 or even £5.

[@recyclops229]

So true! I’ll splurge on foundation but just about everything else is drugstore. They’ve really stepped up since the 90s/00s.

[@wholelottapurrring5392]

Yes! And now Bourjois is back in the UK there's even more reason to go high street instead of high end. I can't wait to try the new e.l.f. foundation when it's out x

[@ashleyb119]

Most high end makeup I own is from boxycharm on their pop up sales every month...I don't get boxycharm anymore cuz after a year and a half, I have sooo many eyeshadow palettes and skincare that I'm still going through lol 😅 but I do have some luxury brands cuz a friend of mine gave them to me..the most I've ever spent was $125 on Pat McGrath divine rose 2 palette, my friend gave me the divine rose 1 and she gave me Chanel and Charlotte Tilbury and Natasha Denona etc etc but when it comes to brow pencils foundation etc the stuff I run out of regularly, I shop drugstore....no point in spending 23 bucks for ABH pencil...when I can get one from Maybelline that works just the same for a fraction of the cost...I love the loreal Tru match tinted serum that stuff is awesome

that wet and wild higlighter has been there since the 2016/2017 (I think!) instagram makeup era and it's still going strong even with all the highlighters that came out in the meantime, that's how good it is

[@recyclops229]

Wet n Wild has a micro brow pencil that’s only $3 at Target and I love it. It’s just as good as the Nyx one that’s a little pricier. The only con is the shade range.

[@miseryfell6417]

I used the Wet n Wild one up so much faster than the Nyx one. I didn't repurchase because I didn't think its price justified how fast I went through it. Although it might have just been I got a weird one. Do you find it lasts the same as the NYX

[@hailiniallapanna]

@@miseryfell6417 there’s not as mush product in the cheaper brow pencils. Just get the $10 brow pencil. Lol.

[@recyclops229]

@@miseryfell6417 I think it depends on how you use the product. I used to like a super bold brow so I’d use more and go through the product quicker. But these days I like going for a little softer, more natural look so I don’t go through them as quickly. I also only do my makeup on days I have Zoom meetings so that helps too, lol.

Sadly, ELF discontinued the putty eye primers. Believe me, I wept because Clay was my HG 'nude' for doing more conservative looks or smoky looks. ELF came out with some different pot eyeshadows in shades close to the original eye putty primers but not exactly the same colors. I'd love to try them out at some point for a comparison. I've no idea why they DCed the line since they were bloody amazing for my lard coated eyelids. I'd also recommend the ELF glosses to anyone. They're weirdly comfy, resilient but don't feel sticky or overly thick. I'm not sure how ELF did it but they made the first glosses that actually changed my mind about glosses as a whole and I'm 43. 😂 Also, love the BCC Dare to be Bright color primers. Ballerina is such a fantastic go to base. I wish the NYX Vivid Brights potted shadows behaved half as nicely as the ELF eye putty primers did. They work well but are more akin to the DCed Revolution Pro Pigment Pomades. As ever, thanks for the reviews!

a theory - i think beauty bay are seriously geniuses. their formula is so good, but it’s only available on their website, where other products are available as well. it’s kind of a strategy to bring in more customers to their website, where they will buy other brands as well - bringing in more money. beauty bay might not make much profit from their own products directly, but because customers buy other brands as well at the same time, beauty bay gets their percentage without having to spend extra money or charge people extra. it works for us and them 🤷🏻‍♀️

I recently tried the Wet N Wild photofocus DEWY foundation and I really love it. Way better than the Clinique Even Better Refresh foundation. The foundation I use is discontinued or something is up with it. It is the Josie Maran Vibrancy, which is seriously dewy. In the winter months, the extreme moisture from the argan oil is perfect, but for the summer I just use extra powder. Everyone tells me the Clinique and one other foundation is similar, but no matter what Foundation I try, nothing is as dewy or moisturizing. I have tried cc cream, skin tints, everything and I cannot find anything similar. The WNW foundation has a really good finish, which is the closest I have found. The Josie Maran foundation is not a tint, but the texture is very watery and dewy, so that’s the only way I can match it. Any other suggestions are welcome. That new Channel foundation that looks like curdled milk, which is just the solids and oils not mixed, may be my next venture. It looks oily enough to work or look like skin, but it’s $85 and will most likely be discontinued.

[@misssunnydee]

Guess I need to try that Wet N Wild then, because I splurged on Clinique Even Better and it's a no on my skin. Not hydrating enough. Shows every dry patch and if I moisturise more I get weird results bc it won't stick. I think it might be because they didn't have the lightest shades in The Netherlands and I bought one that's too yellow and too dark, so I already needed to add whitening drops to lighten it and then a bit of pink and blue ones to create a shade closer to my undertone. Probably ruins the composition... so annoying. I still have MAX Face and Body to try but tbh... not sure if I could afford that over and over (and I don't use foundation often so I keep having to throw them away when they turn bad). Wet N Wild is much more affordable too! I'll check if they have the dewy range here. Thx for the tip!

It's a 10-pan palette so more expensive than the little quads but not by much. It's been my go-to eyeshadow palette since I got it. The only downside is it doesn't have a black shadow, so I have to use one from a different palette.

Most everything I slap on my face costs between $5 - $15 at a general maximum (Covergirl is my go-to for lip products and concealers, and I love Colourpop shadow palettes). I will say that there's definitely a place for higher-end makeup brands and I might make an exception against my budget here and there (the Chanel Les Beiges foundation is fucking EXQUISITE, I'm almost not mad at myself for spending the money), but there are TONS of great products out there for a fraction of those prices.

[@misssunnydee]

@Robert Welsh I'm not exactly sure what kind of brow pencil you're looking for but the one I've been using for a very long time is by Catrice. It's one of the few items they do not discontinue after one season. Probably because it's highly popular, especially my shade. Anyway, it's the [Catrice Slim'matic ultra precise brow pencil] I have the shade 040 Cool brown. I'm a very pale, freckled cool toned brunette and this is the perfect, perfect shade for me. I love this brow pencil so much, because it's a really tiny, thin pencil that you turn up when you need more. The other end is a spoolie. They have caps to make sure it doesn't dry out. It is one of those pencils that has the either texture between creamy and sturdy, so it won't be scratchy but not too creamy either making thin lines easier. It is also waterproof. Highlight wise: thanks!! Completely forgot my WnW highlighters!! I have that xxxx petals one and a Rosy Champagne that isn't even opened yet! I'm on a total liquid journey when it comes to makeup, which is probably why I forgot them. But they're truly the best when it comes to the price/quality ratio. I'm personally a huge fan of the Amour drops by L'Oréal but they're not exactly affordable compared to Wet N Wild 😉. Oh, of course you knew about Soph's highlighters with Revolution right? Still use her palette religiously. I've heard the duos are even better, creamier, but I've not hit pan yet, so... but the first two shades op top are amazing if you're pale & cool toned. The rest I use for eyes and body. Favourite cheap mascara is still the green Lash Princess and Catrice has a great lash primer called Glam something something. It's a white tube in their Glam range. I barely have lashes and if I use that stuff under mascara I suddenly could be used in a mascara ad!! I actually use a lot of the new Revolution products lately though they're not under £5. But the cream bronzer comes close with 6 bucks. *That Revolution Cream bronzer is great*. It's the regular Makeup Revolution brand and a simple compact. The pigment is INSANE! And so easy to apply with a good brush. I think you'll be able to use this forever since you don't need much. I haven't checked the shade range, though usually Revolution is better than most for our poor deeper skin toned friends. I'm also a fan of the entire Superdewy range but I think you have tried those already. These blushes look great on me and you need so little! The bronzer from Superdewy is good too. Have never seen a KZbin review on it actually. But a little goes a long way! The shade is a bit off for me, but I'm used to that for bronzers - though the lightest shade from the ELF Putty bronzers is VERY cool toned. (So cool I'm now using it as a cream contour and then warm up w/ bronzer😄). The XX Revolution serum blushes are so gorgeous too, Desirable being my favourite shade. The Milani baked blushes and the ones in the rose shapes have been in my collection forever and remain there. Milani also has a powder highlighter which is gorgeous, it has a stripey pattern and a golden compact - can't remember the name sorry. For lipsticks I'm always a fan of Maybellines Color Sensational lippies(I have like 5 different red shades from them, lol) and the Revolution Pro Supreme line (not the liquid, the regular lipsticks) is great too. Not too drying, nice finish. I wear bold colours, sometimes a pinkybrown nude or a bronzy colour, but Pro Supreme "Dramatic" is a beautiful berry shade I have several backups from. That's it for now. I don't buy that much makeup compared to others I think.
