Trying to look good in college can be expensive, but you don’t have to spend a hundred dollars on makeup to look good, some of the best makeup products I own can be found at the drugstore. Here are six of my favorite makeup products to help you save money and look fabulous in college.

1. Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation

If you want the London look, Target has exactly what you are looking for. For only $6.99, you can’t go wrong with this smooth, long-lasting liquid foundation!

 

2. E.L.F.’s Eyeliner and Eyeshadow Duo

E.L.F. is the best budget-friendly makeup brand for all things eyes, lips, and face. Designed with college students in mind, E.L.F.’s products range from $1 to $15. My favorite product is the eyeliner and eyeshadow duo which can be found at Target. For only $3, you can get two of the most essential makeup items in one!

 

3. CoverGirl’s Ready, Set, Gorgeous Concealer

CoverGirl’s concealer is perfect for hiding the occasional blemish. The collection can be found at Wal-Mart. CoverGirl has been one of my favorite brands to use, for only $5.94, the concealer blends well into your skin and lasts for a long time.

 

4. Hard Candy Eyeliner

A girl can never have too many colored eyeliners. Hard Candy is one of the best eyeliners I’ve tried. From purple to green to pink and black, you can have all the colors essential to match your outfit. Wal-Mart has been the only place I have seen them so far, for only $6!

 

5. Revlon Super Luscious Lipstick

Lips. You have to go out in the town with the sexiest lipstick you can find. Revlon offers so many different colors to fit every personality there is. The range offers several shades and is available at Target for only $4.99.

 

6. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara

To complete the entire look, mascara is super important to make your eyes pop. For less than $5, you can find Maybelline’s Great Lash Mascara at Walmart.

Now you can go to your 8:30 AM lecture looking spectacular and no one has to know you only spend around $25.00 on your makeup! If you were to go to a makeup counter at a department store, you may only be able to buy one eyeliner. While I love big branded makeup products, like Kat Von D and Too Faced, I also love having some extra spending money!
