Affordable Every Day Makeup
Makeup is definitely one of my obsessions, and I admit that I've spent a great amount of money trying to expand my collection.
For the past three years, I've been invested in understanding makeup, and testing a lot of different products. It happens that I own a few products that I don't use on a regular basis, and end up using only a couple of times a year (for instance, shimmery or neon eyeshadow). So I decided to share my go-to makeup items, but the affordable kind. Let's face it, we all wanna look glam in a budget.
Maybelline's Fit Me Concealer. I don't currently own this product, but I've tested it in the past, and really liked it. In order to hide those dark circles, pick a slightly lighter shade and apply to your under eyes. I like a natural look, so I make sure I don't apply too much product, so that it doesn't look cakey.
H&M's Eyebrow Gel. Yes, H&M. You'd be surprised with how good some of their beauty products really are. This particular one is my favorite, it's soo affordable and it does the job. Not to be harsh, but what else would you want an eyebrow gel to do? If it keeps my brow in place, it's good enough.
NYX's Studio Finishing Powder. This powder is so fine and it will leave such a natural finish. This is my absolute favorite powder, I've been using it for months now. Using a large fluffy brush, swipe this where you applied concealer or foundation, and it will keep everything in place throughout the whole day.
H&M's Blush. Also another great product, the shade I use is in Rosy Brown and it's so beautiful for my skin tone. Unlike its name, it's actually quite a dusty rose, more of a darker pink. It stays on all day and it's not super powdery, so you can definitely build it up if you want to.

Maybelline's Long Extreme Stiletto Mascara. This is another product that I don't currently own, but have tried before. Within the affordable range, this is probably the best mascara out there. The secret to great lashes is not the formula, it's the actual brush. You want a brush with fine bristles that are not too close together. Those really fluffy brushes just don't work for me. If you want to invest a bit more, I highly recommend trying Benefit's They're Real mascara.
NYX's Epic Ink Liner. Eyeliner isn't something everyone uses, but it's a part of my every day makeup routine, I always draw a sharp wing before I leave the house. This one is a great dupe for Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner, it's so pigmented and super fine, so you can draw just any kind of liner you're feeling. Not to mention that it's way cheaper.

This list contains every product I use in my every day makeup and you can easily get them without having to spend hundreds. Unfortunately, the amount of different brands is quite limited because we don't have a large variety of affordable brands where I live.
What are your favorite affordable makeup brands?)
