23 Makeup Products Under $10 That Are *Actually* Good
A pair of lightweight tinted lip balms if you've been dying to try Clinique's Black Honey lip balm, but $25 is too steep a price to pay for just one stick. This cheaper alternative is subtle, buildable, and packed with nutritious ingredients. Enhance your lips' natural color with this non-sticky and long-lasting balm!
Or a moisturizing lip oil that also acts as a lip stain because we're in our multitasking era. This silky oil will help soothe and soften your lips without the SMACKITTY SMACK of stickiness that most glosses leave behind.
A long-lasting and lightweight pressed powder foundation — this mattifying formula is suuuper buildable and breathable, so you pretty much won't even feel it on your face. And it offers oil/shine control for any troublesome T-zones out there.
Or a medium-coverage L'Oreal True Match liquid foundation for a color match so precise, you'll feel it was made specifically and uniquely for you. And hey, maybe it was. The extremely blendable formula will leave you with a natural-looking finish, and because it's so lightweight, it won't "settle into fine lines or look cakey."
A pair of waterproof freckle pens if you weren't blessed with natural freckles upon birth. And these will look natural, too, since this quick-drying formula is waterproof and anti-stain.
A vegan Catrice under-eye brightening concealer that can help balance out bluish tones and dark circles. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid and shea butter to nourish and hydrate skin. You'll look like you've had days of if the truth is you haven't slept in days.
A water- and sweat-resistant Makup brow sculptor for brows that look so flawless, you'll swear they're completely chiseled from marble. Yes, as in "sculpted by the gods." This vegan and cruelty-free formula has the strength of wax but dries like gel with a clear matte finish!

A moisturizing multipurpose blush stick you can use to add some color just about anywhere on your face. This easy-to-use stick will help you create a long-lasting glow. Plus, I've heard whispers that it's similar to the kinda pricey Pixi On-the-Glow Blush.

Or a lash-extending E.l.f. Cosmetics tubing mascara that uses tubing tech to extend the look of your lashes beyond their natural length by wrapping around them. This long-lasting and lengthening formula leaves no lumps, no flakes, and no smudges. Plus, it contains 5% jojoba seed oil to condition lashes while giving you an epic lewk!
A Maybelline concealer so you have a flawless canvas for all the bold looks you've been excited to experiment with. Dark circles? We don't know her.
An Etude House drying powder for controlling your skin's oil production and keeping your face from looking like a pan after you've cooked bacon in it (read: greasy). Reviewers have also applied this to their hair for a freshly washed look.
A creamy and buildable Catrice face palette with two lightweight blushes, bronzers, and highlighters — mix and match shades for a perfect-for-you glam look. This compact, vegan, and cruelty-free palette is also great for on-the-go application.

A waterproof and transfer-resistant Nyx setting spray aptly called "The Face Glue" because it's so committed to making sure your makeup doesn't slip. I'm talkin' 24 whole hours of wear. But don't worry! You won't feel sticky after using this breathable and lightweight formula.
A pore-blurring Maybelline primer that'll help soften the appearance of, well, pores, while hydrating and offering a soft matte finish. You will look like baby. Which tracks because you are baby.
