Aren’t we all looking for the best, affordable makeup products out there? To help you along, I figured I could share my top 8 budget makeup products with you. Because when it is affordable and it ends up being a gem, then it is all the more worthy of spreading the news. These are the budget makeup products I swear by. 
Budget products I swear by
Kiko cream eyeshadow stick – The Kiko eyeshadow sticks are my favorite cream shadow sticks and they are very affordable. Compared to some other great ones by Make Up Forever and Charlotte Tilbury that I like, these are an absolute steal and they come in an array of colors. I love using this to create more edgy looks and as a layer to make my regular shadows pop.
HEMA Soft Matt lip balm – Hema has some great makeup products too and is a brand that you should definitely familiarize yourself with if you ever find a store. These Soft Matt Lip Balms are super comfortable on the lips and come in some fun shades that are very wearable and everyday.
Collection concealer – Who could forget about beauty cult favorite: Collection’s Lasting Perfection concealer. This 4 pound concealer is an absolute steal and outshines many more expensive concealers. It is only available in the UK, but just this concealer alone is worth a trip.
I Heart Makeup Chocolate Vice eyeshadow palette – When it comes to affordable eyeshadow, I Heart Makeup takes the cake. Known for their outright copies of higher end palettes, they also do some of their own. This one in particular is one I enjoy as it has all the colors I love and the quality is great too.
Soap & Glory Archery Brow pencil – Thin nibbed eyebrow pencils were first introduced by Anastasia and other higher end brands. While the shade range of Soap & Glory is limited, I have found no need to even look into the more expensive versions of this. This retails for half the price and gets the job done as nicely.
ELF Baked Blush Rich Rose – One blush I go back to every summer is this ELF blush. Rich Rose isn’t the shade everyone raves about, but it’s my favorite. This is a subtle blush, but I love wearing this in the summer time as it gives just the right amount of color while adding lots of shine as well.
Catrice Ultimate Colour lipsticks – If you can get your hands on Catrice and are looking for a great budget friendly lipstick than the Catrice ones are absolutely stunning. These have a very creamy formula, come in so many shades and they are simply super easy to wear.
W7 Hollywood Bronze & Glow – This blatant dupe of the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow is a stunner of a product. It does only cost about a tenth of the original though. When I first got this, this was my go to bronzer & highlighter that winter and I still go back to it from time to time. One of the best budget items on the market!

Great post! I’m really digging Wet n Wild these days. Drug store brands have come so far.
I wish Wet N Wild would be easier to get here. It used to be available in stores, but the brand is now online only.
Sorry to hear that. I’m guessing you aren’t in the US. I like a lot of e.l.f. products as well. They have decent make up brushes, and great eyeshadow pallettes as well.
Nope, I am located in Europe. Both brands are great! I always check them out if I happen to be in the US.
There’s only 1 product on your list that I can easily get my hands on (ELF) – everything else is either a trip to the UK or online. 😛
I do love drugstore mascaras – I see no point paying more for them. My favourites are CoverGirl Lash Blast and Maybelline Lash Sensational.
Haha part of the products I’ve featured are indeed online only! I swear by drugstore mascaras too.
