If you’re anything like us, you love nice makeup,but hate paying a ton of money for it! Well. collegiettes, here are five inexpensive makeup products that will help you perfect the look but still have money in your pocket when you’re done.

1) ELF black liquid eyeliner

Its only $2, and works great! It’s super pigmented, lasts all day, and is easy to apply. Perfect for an everyday look or a sultry cateye. 

2) Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

Pick this up next time you’re at Target and thank us later. With tons of shades, one swipe takes away all signs that you stayed up late in the library last night.

3) NYX Radient Finishing Powder

If you want a beautiful highlight, this is the product for you. Plus, it’s a great dupe for Bobbie Brown’s Brightening Finishing Powder which retails for $54! 

4) Milani Baked Blushes

All of the colors are beautiful and so pigmented. They have just enough shimmer to give you a gorgeous glow but not look too glittery (and they come in matte shades too!). Our personal favorite shade is Luminoso, but they are so inexpensive that you can try them all! 

5) Covergirl clean oil control powder

This powder gives your face a matte finish without looking cakey! It’s super lightweight, and great to use as a blotting powder!
