11 Inexpensive Makeup Brands Every Makeup Lover Should Know

Being a lover of makeup and broke, I'm always looking for new makeup brands that are inexpensive and are of decent quality. Here's a list of affordable makeup brands for all you makeup lovers out there.

1. Colourpop


This makeup brand is super affordable and super fun! They have a lot of fun colors when it comes to eye-shadow and lipsticks. And they're always updating different looks on their website for inspo.

2. Wet 'n Wild


This brand can be bought at any drugstore or grocery store. Great quality and great prices.

3. Makeup Revolution

You can only find this at Ulta but, don't let that fool you. This brand is actually super affordable and they're known for making dupes of more expensive brands. So, you can still get similar shades as a more expensive brand or palette for cheap.

4. NYX


NYX Cosmetics has always killed it when it comes to makeup and they're also one of the most inexpensive brands I've come across. Their lipsticks are between $6-$9 and they're eyeshadows and palettes range from $4-$25! Like Colourpop, they offer a lookbook for all your makeup inspirations.

5. Drugstore

Honestly, some of the best foundation, mascara and eyeliner I've gotten at a drugstore or Walmart. For those just starting out in the makeup world, some of the makeup brands that can be found here are Covergirl, Neutrogena, Revlon and Milani. They're all great quality with great prices!

6. e.l.f.

Okay, I haven't really used this brand but I've heard a lot of great things about it and I've looked into them before. You can pretty much this brand anywhere and they have makeup on their website for as little as $1. They're also cruelty-free which is an added bonus!

7. ipsy


An ipsy subscription is one of they BEST ways to get makeup. For $10 a month, you get a new makeup bag with five samples of different makeup and brands that you can try. My makeup collection has grown vastly because of ipsy. It's one of my favorite ways to get new makeup and try new things. They also offer different discount codes from their site and websites of the makeup brands that they carry!

8. BH Cosmetics


Super affordable and cruelty-free!!

9. Morphe


Though this is a more popular brand in the makeup community, it's actually pretty affordable. I have a gorgeous palette from them and they're all $22.99 for 35 beautiful colors!

10. Royal & Langnickel


This makeup brand focuses solely on making brushes. Brushes are so important when it comes to doing your makeup, but they can also get pretty pricey. Their brushes super cute and colorful and range from $4.99-$20.

11. Aurora


I discovered this brand through Ipsy. They sent me an eyeliner by them and I absolutely love it! I checked out their website and everything ranges from $8-$15. Very nice!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
