If you want the little extra pop to your eye for a really good price, I highly recommend this liquid eyeshadow, especially the shade “disco queen.”

Colourpop makes some of the most affordable high pigment shadows! The matte shades blend so easy and have such strong pigment, and the shimmers, depending on which ones you use, can either give you a soft sparkle to the eyes or a wet metallic look! A...

Can’t even count how many of these I have. There so cheap and so worth it. I personally prefer the wooden pencils but each of the formulas are honestly all worth it.

I’m so impressed with this highlighter from NYX! I’m not someone who likes to always use highlighter, but this gave me the most beautiful shine to my cheeks that I honestly expect from much higher end products. Absolutely worth it imo! ✨

If you’re trying to blur your pores and help your makeup last through oil, this is the one. Sits so good in the skin throughout the day. Much prefer this over the original pores putty primer.

After years of going through different powder blushes and extreme blush blindness, the colourpop blushes are truly so beautiful and buildable to either give you a sheer flush or a full vibrant cheek fantasy for an amazing price!

A lot of people use this on its own for that beautiful glowy look with light coverage, but I love to use this under foundation to add a very soft radiance underneath, and there’s so much product for such a good price, it’s hard to use all of it up!

Recently got hooked on this setting powder a few months ago and it is very high on the list for one of the best setting powders I’ve tried. And you literally cannot argue with the price compared to the quality!

I recently tried this in a video I did and was very pleasantly surprised at how good this was. Like many contours that tend to pull very warm, this created the perfect shadow for contouring. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a very afford...
