Everyone loves a good makeup product but with some costing $50 and others at most $15 it’s hard to know what’s actually worth the hype. like for example:

A huge trend right now is that glowy dewy skin look. One viral product is

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter $50

which is pretty expensive.

But a super popular dupe is

e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter,$14

which gives almost the same glow for a fraction of the price.

Usually it all depends on your skin type and your coverage preference, but when it comes to foundations, or concealers, its recommended to go with the high end version, because you know it has a higher of a chance of keeping your skin healthy.

Blush is a category where you really don’t need to spend a lot. High end blushes might be more pigmented but drugstore ones still look great. For example:

Saie Dew Blush $26

is a popular high-end liquid blush.

But cheaper options like

e.l.f. Camo Liquid Blush $8

Blush is not worth splurging on drugstore works just as well.

Lip products are probably the easiest thing to save money on. There are so many affordable options that look just as good as expensive ones.

      Augustinus Bader Lip Balm $47

Its insanely expensive for a lip balm.

Burts Bees Lip Balm $3.99

completely affordable

In the end makeup doesn’t have to be expensive to look good. It’s more about knowing where to spend and where to save. Splurge on products that stay on your skin all day like foundation but save on things you replace often or switch up like mascara and lip gloss. That way you can still get a great look without spending a ton of money.
