7 Beauty Products Under $10 That Really Work

A great example is the Kleancolor Hawaiian Splendor palette in Bold and Sexy. This palette includes twelve eye-popping shades in all the colours of the rainbow. Each eye-shadow is highly pigmented and sinfully easy to blend (even for beginners). If wild colours aren’t your thing, Kleancolor has also come up with a trendy neutral palette. The Neutral Zone palette in Born With It is often compared to UD’S cult favourite Naked palette. Boasting eleven shimmery shades and ten smaller matte shadows, the palette’s pigmentation is out of this world for the price.

The NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk ticks all my boxes. The creamy texture makes this jumbo pencil a cinch to blend out while the anti-crease formula helps to keep your shadow looking perfect all day long. You can also use this chubby pencil to line your inner eye and waterline for that bright eyed, doe look. Did I mention that just one lasts me up to a year? So much bang for your buck!

Fortunately, you don’t need to spend a fortune anymore to get a good quality, cruelty-free set of makeup brushes. The EcoTools Essential Eye Set comes with five incredibly soft eye brushes, including a large eye brush, angled crease brush, highlighter brush, shading brush and smudge brush. These brushes are super durable, don’t shed and come in a practical, environmentally friendly bag. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, the value of this essential eye set will have you impressed.

Don’t let the adverts fool you, though. You don’t need a $50 mascara with a vibrating wand to get results – some discounted beauty products are just as effective. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Maybelline is the queen of budget mascaras. Of all their brilliantly affordable offerings, it’s The Falsies Mascara that takes the cake. The formula is infused with pro-keratin fibres and holding ingredients to create sensational volume and lift. It’s also buildable and comes with an innovative wand, so you can keep adding to the intensity until you’ve got the dramatic lashes you desire.

Should foundation really be included in your beauty products under $10? That’s completely up to you. However, think of your face as a canvas for the rest of your makeup. If you’re going to splurge on anything, it should be foundation. But if you’re a beauty on a seriously tight budget, don’t despair. There are some pretty reasonable cheap foundations on the market right now. Fit Me Foundation is a solid choice with a very friendly price tag.It's easy to blend & comes in a wide range of shades and offers SPF 18.

No matter how much sleep we get or how well we take care of our skin, dark circles and occasional breakouts are a fact of life. Fortunately, we can usually cheat our way to perfect skin with a good concealer! This Concealer Wand is my top pick. The formula is deliciously emollient, which stops it from creasing and looking cakey under the eyes. The coverage is medium but buildable and easy to blend. The concealer wand also comes in several different shades to treat various different skin problems. For example, you can use green to counteract redness or pick up lavender to address sallow skin.

Our list of beauty products under $10 wouldn’t be complete without lipstick. And hey, even if you’re not broke, discount lipsticks are a very sensible way to try out some bold, new colours without the risk. At $1.49, the Wet N Wild Silk Finish Lipsticks are perfect for doing just that, with pigmented colours ranging from traditional reds to gutsy fuchsias. Infused with vitamins A & E plus aloe vera for a formula that glides on smoothly and won’t dry out your lips, these lippies are absolutely worth hauling.
