Affordable Makeup Under $10 for Beauties on a Budget

It’s time we sang the praises of affordable makeup, especially when inflation just keeps, well, inflating. And while we all know and love high-end department store makeup, our wallets don’t necessarily feel the same way. But that’s okay because when it comes to makeup, being inexpensive doesn’t necessarily mean being bad.

So calling all beauty buffs! I found the best deals on high-quality and affordable makeup, including brands like ColourPop, NYX, and e.l.f. After all, looking like a million bucks shouldn’t cost a million bucks. And don’t worry, many of these are products I’ve been using for years, so you know they’re worthy of a full face.
